Hi,
Thoses are symptoms of borderline disorder, but other toubles too
One thing I read in a book about that disorder that I think represented me at some point : they said people affected by this disorder often feel like a hen without a head. Do you have that feeling?
I suggest you to consult a specialist to help you to know more about your situation. But be prepared : it's going to take more than one visit to make a diagnostic.
If you are on a waiting list, I suggest you to find book about that disorder. There are plenty of it. Choose one wrote by specialist.
Take care.

yes i do feel the 'hen without a head' feeling... its when my mind goes blank and i start losing sight of my personality which worries me, then i disconnect with myself and the world.
noone in my life understands this feeling
think thats also why i feel more lost, but then i dont understand these mood swings myself.
are you seeing a specialist? i.e a psychologist or psychiatrist? did it help?

Hi,
Yes, I see specialists. I have a doctor and a psychiatrist. I was in therapy for years. I should still be, but money issues, so...
I'm on medication too. Medication helps me a lot. At first, I didn't want to take any medication because I felt like it was being weak. But at one point, it felt that I have no other choice. And to tell the truth, the first years of med were awful. It takes time to find the right medication for a person. For few years, I just though that one day, I will remove the medication because I felt it was crutch. But now, I accept that I need the meds and that I'll have to live with that all my life.
Now, I'm on the right medication. It sometimes need to be adjusted. But I can say that I feel good.
Before I saw the specialists and read books about the disorder, I was like you : I didn't understand what was going on with me. But the specialists, medication, therapy and books helped a lot. You know, only the fact to read about the "hen without a head" feeling made me felt better, like hey, I'm not alone.
The problem with that disorder is even in medical area, it's hard to get help because it's still something misunderstood. I had to try many psychiatrists before finding the one that understand me and help me.
I don't tell you that to discourage you. I just want you to know that there is a way to feel better, but it's not an easy one. But it's a good one. I sometimes regret to didn't start the process of this way earlier in my life. Sooner you'll start it, younger you'll feel better.
Take care.
