Blurred lines of MI

I'm beginning to wonder where one mental illness ends and another begins. It's so overlapping, I'm beginning to wonder what's what and am I really this or really that?

Each alter has their own mood which changes from the over all bipolar mood. I'm ADHD every now and then, so what's real? I don't know. Needless to say, I'm confused.

I don't know who I really am. I know I say this a lot, but I'm always changing.
I'm not even who I'm suppose to be. I have an idea of who I aspire to be, but I'm a collage of everything else affected by bipolar, or am I?

Just one fat question mark. Yuck it sucks to be me.

Have a nice day!

Well, I think you hit the nail on the head - each self has their own issues. one could be BP, one could be BPD. For me, one deals with depression, while another with anxiety; a third with both. I get the derealization/depersonalization stuff as well as panics. in the end, you're DID. there's a LOT rolled into that. All that I've already mentioned, and of course complex PTSD..... etc etc... No, it isn't easy. just gotta roll with it.

Just ranting and raving, confused. The body is bipolar, but everyone do what they does.

I know what you mean Alwayschanging2,

I feel like each one of my alters have their very own personality disorder. It's funny actually. I was reading about all the different disorders and EVERY ONE of them described an alter. That is what makes DID so hard to treat. One of me is narcissistic, another histrionic, another paranoid and another depressed. Oh well, if people don't like me just wait 5 minutes. I'll change ;-)

yes h aving more than one mental illness can be a challenge. its a good thing that here in america we have guidelines for each of the mental disorders. this helps me and my treatment providers when I feel the same way, because I can call my treatment providers and ask them. then they help me to understand and know which problems I am having belongs to which or my mental or physical health problems.

my suggestion maybe you can call your treatment providers and they can help you sort out which of your problems belongs with which of your mental illnesses. works every time for me.
