Question

Answer 1

Could be bipolar type two, but, you are showing more symptoms of borderline personality disorder.

"Symptoms

While a person with depression or bipolar disorder typically endures the same mood for weeks, a person with BPD may experience intense bouts of anger, depression, and anxiety that may last only hours, or at most a day.5 These may be associated with episodes of impulsive aggression, self-injury, and drug or alcohol abuse. Distortions in cognition and sense of self can lead to frequent changes in long-term goals, career plans, jobs, friendships, gender identity, and values. Sometimes people with BPD view themselves as fundamentally bad, or unworthy. They may feel unfairly misunderstood or mistreated, bored, empty, and have little idea who they are. Such symptoms are most acute when people with BPD feel isolated and lacking in social support, and may result in frantic efforts to avoid being alone.

People with BPD often have highly unstable patterns of social relationships. While they can develop intense but stormy attachments, their attitudes towards family, friends, and loved ones may suddenly shift from idealization (great admiration and love) to devaluation (intense anger and dislike). Thus, they may form an immediate attachment and idealize the other person, but when a slight separation or conflict occurs, they switch unexpectedly to the other extreme and angrily accuse the other person of not caring for them at all. Even with family members, individuals with BPD are highly sensitive to rejection, reacting with anger and distress to such mild separations as a vacation, a business trip, or a sudden change in plans. These fears of abandonment seem to be related to difficulties feeling emotionally connected to important persons when they are physically absent, leaving the individual with BPD feeling lost and perhaps worthless. Suicide threats and attempts may occur along with anger at perceived abandonment and disappointments.

People with BPD exhibit other impulsive behaviors, such as excessive spending, binge eating and risky sex. BPD often occurs together with other psychiatric problems, particularly bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety disorders, substance abuse, and other personality disorders."

Good luck and hope you seek help.

Answer 2

Sound like you just have a lot to deal with - which could be from your upbringing and/or from your teen/adult years too. The best thing for you to do is get into counseling. You have a ton of emotions and feelings inside you that need to be voiced and dealt with - and the best person to help you work through them, make sense of them, and start leading a happy healthy life is a therapist, pastor (who counsels), or a counselor.
You don't sound like you have a mental disorder - but again, you should really see a therapist or counselor who would be able to diagnose if you have a mental problem and need to see a doctor about getting on medication.
There could be so many different things that are contributing to how you feel and whats going on in your life right now. The key is to start taking responsibility for yourself and your actions and start looking into your actions and finding the root of whats causing them. Your best bet is to find a counselor and start going immediatley. If you are married you might also want to have your hubby go along with you because your actions affect both you and him.

Answer 3

sounds like you suffer from:
Attachment Disorder or Reactive Attachment Disorder...R.A.D
{seek a wise doctor}

{this is from a recent class i took in childhood behaviors....these do carry over through adulthood}

It is a condition in which individuals have difficulty forming loving, lasting, intimate, relationships. The words attachment and bonding are generally used interchangeably.
Attachment Disorders vary in severity, but the term is usually reserved for individuals who show a nearly complete lack of ability to be genuinely affectionate with others.
They typically fail to develop a conscience and do not learn to trust.

Symptoms of R.A.D.
Superficially engaging, and charming.
Indiscriminately affectionate with strangers
Destruction of self, others, and things.
Experiences developmental lags
Poor eye contact
Not cuddly with parents
cruel to animals or siblings
lacks cause and effect thinking
has poor peer relationships
inappropriately demanding or clinging
engages in stealing or lying
lacks a conscience
engages in persistent nonsense questions or incessant chatter
has poor impulse control
has abnormal speech pattern
fights for control over everything
engages in hoarding or gorging food
has a preoccupation with fire,blood, or gore.

{i included all the warning symptoms....as an adult you may not have some of these....}

Answer 4

I agree with celine8388 you have listed such an overlap of symptoms that with out being a psychiatrist and spending some time getting to know you it's impossible for me to to say. I do agree you have something going on though and I advise you seek the advise of a professional. I hope you find some peace in this life.

Answer 5

You do not have a mental illness.... You just have slight anxiety and need to stop thinking so much... I would suggest getting out of the house a little more often, and not to be rude, maybe look into getting some hobbies..

Answer 6

It sounds to me like you have self esteem issues, and these may lead to or exacerbate your other issues, like relationships. I don't think there is anything wrong with you that therapy couldn't cure, and a support group wouldn't hurt, either. Love yourself, and the world will love you too! Good luck and God bless.

Answer 7

Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, Possible OCD...........

Answer 8

I would say it sounds like you are bored with an empty life. You have a hole in your heart that only a relationship with Jesus can fill. Start asking Him to fill your needs and start reading the New Testament and ask God to show you what it means. Being born again means asking God to give you a new life--sounds like you need one. God bless you.

Answer 10
