You have a good point!. When I started this thread I was having continued irrational perceptions about my peers. But now that I am feeling better, I can see it in the more rational way you put it. It is so hard not to compare yourself to others, exspecially in a college community where it always "seems" your like the only one with mental illness and "it seems" like no one else has to take drugs and are always "happy go lucky" You have seen some of my disorder in progress throughout this thread, and fortunately I did not need hospitalization this time because I was not a true threat to myself or others. I guess it is easy for other college students to put up a "front" to make it look like they have all the dopamine in the world flowing through their brains, when they could be as miserable or worse than me, despite whether their succeeding or not. My disorder does not allow me to put up a front and I display my anger in an impulsive way, similar to Borderline Personality, but not quite (more like ADHD). I may enroll in an intense DBT like therapy along with continued response to my medications. Thanks Denise for reminding me the rational way =)
