I was re-diagnosed with Mixed personality disorders, I have been trying to learn more about it but its very vague & i am not sure i understand (or care) anymore, as far as i am concerned as long as i take my med and try and get through things (what ever they are, then i don’t know why i would need to know), maybe it sounds dumb but i am choosing to almost deliberately not want to know what’s wrong with me mentally, actually to the point where i believe i am ok (even though i know i am not really) its sounds weird and contradictory) a bit like my whole life i guess.

Here is a little poll about it,

At first they suggested something called eupd and mixed but then said it’s autism … So I did read a little about personality disorders.

i watched some youtube videos, its hard to relate to, i just thing i am just me, warts and all, i dont see why it has to be a disorder, when i was diagnosed as sz for 17 yrs i was always sure my personality was still intact however it was affected by my illness at the time, i never thought it could be disordered. so its hard to grasp the new concepts.

I have Borderline personality disorder along with the sza…there’s more of a stigma with the BPD than the sza. Mostly for me it means emotional dysregulation and self harm. I hate when healthcare providers see the BPD diagnosis and act like asshats because of it…they automatically start thinking bad things from it like I’m gonna be a problem patient.

I think they thought I had borderline before. I was never diagnosed. I think it’s best to listen to the care team.

I took personality tests online before. I scored INTP/INTJ.

Growing up, they thought I had narcissism. I haven’t heard about it since I got sz/sza. I don’t seem aware of my moods at all. I think I have depression all the time because I’m disabled, can’t work.

Growing up, I would look into the mirror all the time. I thought I was ugly, or that my face would distort. I think I suffered from lack of empathy, but they thought it was Aspergers.

I mainly have psychosis or a thought disorder. I’m starting to realize it’s worse on the energy drinks. Been drinking them daily for 15-20 years now.

I had an eating disorder growing up. It resolved itself.

Early on in my illness, I had derealization and depersonalization. It’s called dissociation. It felt really bad to me.

I’ve been to a lot of doctors and been on a lot of medication.

I’m working on eliminating monster energy drinks from my routine. I can’t give up cigarettes yet.

While growing up, I had symptoms of hypomania. I thought it was elevated mood from energy drinks. I was really depressed my whole life.

I am DXed with avoidant personality disorder, but I question it because I have zero fear of rejection. I regard rejection and making mistakes as a normal part of the learning and growth process. That being said, my blood pressure spikes every time my goddamn phone rings.

You need to stop drinking the blood of teens then, it’s making it harder for me to guess your age.

And you can still get off my lawn.

Yes, yes. I’ve always wanted to be a vampire ever since I read the Anne Rice novels as a teenager.

They said i had anxious, avoidant/dependent but i looked and i can see a lot more from other clusters, there is a huge element in all the clusters, i’d be easier saying what i cant relate to as opposed to what i can. (i dont deal with rejection well at all) :frowning: its really horrible bc i get rejected a lot and i feel awful every time, esp when its with someone whom i like.

In my opinion that doesn’t make you a bad person. It seems like a popular thing online now to trash certain personality disorders. I wouldn’t let it get me down too much, ya know…

I wouldn’t self diagnose too much… if u feel like u have the things you listed above… I would seek out professional help
