Lynn,
I know where you're coming from. I feel like a crazy, crazy person at times. I'm very self-conscious about it lately because I've just moved to a new place, need new doctors, and have to listen to myself tell them what i have; manic depression, attention deficit disorder, trichotillomania, anorexia, and post tramautic stress disorder. I don't think I'm being paranoid when i've noticed most family doctors look at me weird. When I have to tell people about them and I sense a reaction, I find it hard to tolerate, and this makes me feel crazier than any of my disorders do.Yes Lynn, depression is the worst of them all. I could handle them all quite well when i don't have depression. And depression seems to come with every disorder and tends to worsen if not treated and as we age. I've been at this for about 5 years, and have significantly improved.
I'm sure there is something for dissociative disorder, not a cure, but probably a damn good treatment. Why do you change psychiatrists so often? As far as i know, getting the right medication can be a hit and miss game, and how a drug affects you one time does not guarantee anything the next time. It's taken me 5 years to get the combination I'm on now.
abnormally abnormal, Janice
