Hello Alothasoccurred: Well... I may be in the minority here... I probably am... especially here on PC. But I do believe there can be such a thing as too much information. The internet is great & all. (I'm an old man. So I recall when there wasn't one.) But I personally think there is a point at which it's usefulness can turn into a detriment.

Mental health diagnosis is a job for mental health professionals. And the reality is that they often don't agree with regard to a particular person's diagnosis. So I personally feel it's a slippery slope when non-professionals try to diagnose another person... or themselves either for that matter. It can become sort-of like when medical students become convinced they have every malady they happen to be studying about.

Anyway, I'm sorry you're not recovering well. Hopefully being here on PC can be of some comfort & support. I wish you well...

After a break up, we all think about all the bad things the person did to us. It's part of healing. Giving diagnoses to their behaviors isn't necessary and doesn't matter anyway. "A hole" ought to suffice.

I agree with Tisha
