can't fit in DSM

Posted by Christ_empowered on May 12, 2012, at 23:12:43

Just a thought. I've never been this lucid and relatively socially adept...ever. Started hearing voices at 16. Severe depression and obsessions at 11. Psychosomatic regression at 23.
Sometimes, I feel like I don't really fit into the DSM. What do I call this? I've heard "narcissism," "bipolar II," "bipolar I," "hebephrenia," etc. What's going on?
I guess it doesn't matter a whole lot. Abilify. PRN Vistaril. I'm supposed to be on Trileptal. Avoid uppers. Minimize benzo use.
That and the massive brain damage. Judging strictly by a brain scan, I should be severely impaired. One of my shrinks called it "transcendent intelligence." Kinda cool...I mean, cooler than being a vegetable, that's for sure.
What if my madness is just a gradual struggle towards normalcy, a kind of psychospiritual journey? What if I'm in the process of recovering, and I get there some day relatively soon?
