Hey, idk if anyone cares but my sister looked through some old notes and managed to explain things to me a little better, its a bit confusing but the p/docs think i have unspecified personality disorder… here is what it says about it in the dsm 5
Unspecified Personality Disorder: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment DSM-5 301.9 (F60.9) | Thriveworks
Does it help you to understand yourself better and to know what you can work on?

not really, i wish they could explain it in specifics bc its still all just very vague to me, i really need someone to sit down with me & explain it, get to know how think etc, they dont really know me that well so idk how they can tell me i’m this or im that when they dont even really know me,
at this point i am very kean on getting some psychotherapy, i’m not sure what it is but i want to try it, all the other solutions are being practiced but i need to try the therapy, it might be the reason my chronic fatigue is getting so bad, my brain is basically killing me
here is a decent video i liked about it

I don’t know if you can afford it, but a neuropsychologist can give you extensive testing and then help you to not only understand but to know what steps to take to improve

Do you have Medicaid? They may cover it if you can get a dr to refer you to a neuropsychologist
I’m in the uk coco we have the nhs

Oh. Then if you can get a referral for that type of testing it won’t cost you anything, right?
Just in case, ask your pdoc for a referral, or whomever diagnosed you

So I just read about neuropsychological testing in the UK and it sounds like they test for less things than they do in the US.
The only way to know if they can help you is to talk to the person who deals with your psych issues

I’m not confident my p/doc can help me, he seems very arrogant and invalidating, i dont want to completely trash my p/doc but he deserves it.

I’m sorry to hear that. What’s wrong with your health?
i have moderate chronic fatigue syndrome aka M.E. & it seems to be getting worse the way i feel is my body is trying to kill itself and i may lose the use of my legs and possibly even die if it keeps up like this.

That sucks. I have health conditions that cause severe fatigue too. I find that going to the gym and getting a little activity in on my bad days is helpful. By that I mean stretching and walking for like 10 minutes.
It’s super difficult to get started and keep going but afterwards I feel a little better.
I’m also on 2 chemo drugs which have their own sets of issues/ side effects.
Don’t give up. Do a little something everyday even if you need to nap after.
Try walking. If that’s too much, try chair yoga. Just don’t give up
