Hi all,

I am diagnosed with Bipolar, Borderline Personality Disorder, and anxiety. I am trying to understand if one of these is more responsible then another for why I do something (or if unrelated).

Answer with yes or no, and if you like - give opinion or details.

DO YOU NARRATE YOURSELF OR HAVE RUNNING COMMENTARY ON YOUR THOUGHTS OR ACTIONS?

(edit addition: I also am given perphenazine as one of my meds. It says," Perphenazine is used to treat psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia", when I google it. But I am not diagnosed with Schizophrenia, but I was told sometimes the symptoms from one or another disorder overlaps and to use whatever works).

Yes

It is an indicator of how poorly I am doing, how aggressive or intruding my self narrator is.

Yes,

Abilify takes it away and I feel like I can't think without it.

I don't know.

Yes. This.

And it can get viscious and persistant when mixed or depressed...
Or overly optimistic/aggrandized when hypo/manic.
When I'm doing well it's quieter and more like regular thoughts a "normal" would have (I assume )

(Right now it is questioning why I'm answering this, because I'm not feeling any "right" to post. Makes sense in light of might be crashing [had solid hypo, now exponentially increased stess. Not a good combo to avoid one. Fighting it though.]).

yes ... and on bad nights I let xanex turn these thoughts off ... to sleep .
