I'm really quite confused and in desperate need of answers until I can speak to my health team, but is it possible to actually HAVE more than one personality disorder, e.g suffer from dependant personality and borderline personality and dissoiative? I have been suffering from numerous problems since I was 13 and am now 24, although some have been confused with others over time and I am so frazzled. I have been suffering from severe depression on and off but mainly on since I was 13, and also have a long suffering eating disorder and chronic aniexty, and have been told in the past I had OCD although I feel this was wrong, I do have ocd tendancies mainly thought processes I guess, and have really just become so confused with everything. I am not doing well at the moment, but I am finding I have completley become uncomfortable being around people even people who should be close to me, and find I can't answer a question simply, I get my words tied very easily and 'longed' out, and suddenly forget what we were talking about or just give up in mid sentance. I am all very aware of my behaviour making me more nervous and anxious, and then just feel the urge for them to leave and I can't deal with having to look after them socially if they are with me. More worryingly I have started to do things and completley forgot I've done them. e.g. I will take my medication (propranonlol) and then do a small task, and then will completley have a mind lapse as to whether I have taken them? I always have the sense of dread that I've forgot something or done something, and I end up having to tell myself it is actually in my hand. my doc just says its the aniexty and letting myself get like that but I feel like I'm loosing my mind a bit. There are many, many other issues and feelings and things I feel, but I know I can't put it all on here. I just didnt know if someone could maybe explain whats happening, and if it is possible to have multiple personality disorders...

I don't know about multiple disorders, but you can have one with traits of another. dissociation is a borderline symptom, and borderlines often have avoidant or dependent traits. I hope this helps.

oh my goodness this sound a lot like me!
i'm not on medications, but i forget things so easily. sometimes i don't even remember to eat or even if i have eaten. i have had depression issues since i was very young (no specific age) and i get so nervous in some social situations that my stomach ties into knots just thinking about it. but i am wondering this as well. i have been thinking that perhaps i have borderline personality disorder, but when i read up on avoidant personality disorder, the latter seems to fit me so perfectly while the former i only conform to a little more than half of the "symptoms", and then i think about it and start (i suppose) denying it and thinking that i don't know anything, maybe i should just not post anything... it's very confusing and i second-guess myself and it's kind of irritating, haha... it's kind of making me go a little more crazy because i don't have access to therapy or anything for probably another month or more so i'm sitting here just wondering what's wrong with me but can't figure it out on my own because i don't want to make stupid assumptions... if they don't overlap then it's just going to make things harder to figure out, haha

So shocked bout your post cuz I am going through that right now. I am also trying to figure out if its possible to have multiple disorders which I hope I don't have.. (Thou all the online test that I could find begs to differ) but I have also read that people with BPD tend to have anxiety disorders and eating disorders.. (I am "more" paranoid these days and gets anxiety/panick attacks, also lost 10lbs in 5 days and ultimately losing 20lbs over all in 30 days).. I will see my Doc in a week, i'll ask her bout this and let you know what she says..

It's interesting that you posted this, I have been pondering upon a similar issue myself. I don't know if it's possible to have more than one personality disorder as I am not a mental health professional myself, but I have heard from past therapists and psychiatrists that I've seen that it is possible to at least have traits of more than one. I don't recall if they said it's possible to have more than one at the same time or not.
It sounds like there's a lot going on with you, it's no wonder you're feeling so confused. Figuring this stuff out isn't easy, even the professionals are still learning how to diagnose people correctly. Take care of yourself and keep posting here if it helps. |
