Oh....I didn't even consider that this was an achievement until now. But yes, yes it is, isn't it. :) That is a book worth writing when you are ready. And it takes a lot of guts, courage and strength to do a book like that. My novel is science fiction, with elements of psychology, sociology...

I wasn't sure where to put this, but for me personally it deals with goal setting. But this isn't just for me, there is a positive message here that I would like to convey. I just found out I have mild cognitive impairments and I am only 29 years old. I am at high risk for Alzheimer's dementia...

I'm not sure where I stand on this because I can validly see the stances of both sides. I am concerned about allowing terrorists into our country, but I'm also concerned about the innocent people. My dad made a point that only Muslims will be seeking refuge over here, and the Jewish and...

It wasn't good. Not only am I mildly mentally impaired, but I am....I don't even know how to put into words. I'm just a mess right now and very disorganized. There isn't much I can work on until I see my therapist again, but in the meantime I guess I can focus on finding new coping...

I just wanted to post an update that the plane that went down in Russia was a terrorist attack, and over 200 people died. So I'd like to take a moment to stand in respect to the lives lost in Russia and say a prayer for them. Isis seems to be attacking Europe. And threatened to attack the US as...

I was just going to make a post like this! Awesome! My songs: Losing A Whole Year - Third Eye Blind Because I feel like it could be about me. To a T. And the person suffers depression and is borderline. "When I talk I hear the Prozac". "Finding your place with queer pierced teens in...

That is so awesome! Glad I'm not alone. I saw we do that again. :D I actually sleep with an Iron Man plush on my bed, and recently added a Captain America one to hug when I'm feeling really scared and upset. Cap makes me feel calm too.

Here for you. It didn't frighten me, I understood immediately what was going on. We'll take care of Little Laurie. <3

Lol. I just got into Iron Man back in June when I saw Age of Ultron. Been hooked since. I actually RP Tony online. He helps put me in a happier place. And I'm like a really big nerd.

Tony Stark aka Iron Man is my favorite superhero. We share two of the same disorders: Bipolar and PTSD. Yes! Stark has PTSD and you see him struggle with in in Iron Man III. There are many things I love about Tony, because they are aspects I can relate to. For instance, his father never told him...

That makes SO much sense. I'm glad you shared that!

I was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder 5 years ago, and it was the wrong diagnosis. But you know, like I said above, we aren't defined by our lost of diagnoses. So I hope you find some comfort in that. :)

When it comes down to it though, we are not our diagnosis, we HAVE a diagnosis. Our disorder(s) don't definite who we are, just explain some of our behavior. I keep trying to remind myself this.

What is CPTSD? I'm not familiar with that one. I'm pretty sure all the god awful psychotropic meds I've been on have caused me to develop epilepsy. Which I'm not happy about. I feel like my first psychologist royally screwed me over by over medicating the f*ck out of me. I probably would have...

I feel for you. It does sound like you have PTSD with a great intensity. I've been having panic attacks too, at work in fact. They are absolutely awful, so I can relate. It's really scary when you ditch the booze and drugs, and have to deal with everything you were masking and avoiding. I may...

JoeyLittle: I had a psychological assessment by a neural psychologist and those were the conclusions he drew by the tests he gave me. He diagnosed me with PTSD, BD Type II, SPD and BPD. Could he be off? Yes. There is always a margin for error, those tests only reveal so much. I am going to...

There was one day I cycled through emotions so rapidly I almost had a mental breakdown. Not accustomed to such strong emotions. But thank you for the welcome! As Churchill said, "If you're going through hell, keep on going."

I recently did a psychological eval and got the results: Bipolar Type II with psychotic features, PTSD with dissociative features, Schizoid Personality Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder. Before this I was diagnosed with Schizoaffective Disorder Bipolar Type and Histrionic...

I'm going to get tested for silent seizures soon. When I talk to the neural psychologist on Tuesday who did my neurological tests, I'll ask him about this if I remember. It's definitely not the same as an epileptic seizure, but they are still considered seizures. I didn't know there could be a...

Something I found helpful, when anxious, is to imagine a stop sign and telling those thoughts STOP. Early, before they spiral out of control. This is something my therapist taught me. She also imparted her personal term of "stinkin' thinkin'". Whenever my thoughts start to spiral toward...

It depends on if I'm hypomanic or not. When I'm hypomanic everything is intense. When I'm normal or depressed, there is no intensity whatsoever. But seeing as I'm not hypomanic most of the time, I would probably go with the lack luster, bland, no passion flavor of my relationships. I'm trying...

I just got my new diagnoses on Monday. I told him I am schizophrenic and bipolar and what he could expect. Schizophrenia was the wrong diagnosis. I told him quickly of my new list of diagnoses. But we didn't have time to talk about it. I was afraid of telling my employers I am disabled because I...

It seems to me that PTSD and Schizoid Personality Disorder could be interconnected. I have no close ties with family or friends. All my friends are online. I have little to no interest in a romantic partner, getting married, having children and so on. My sex drive is non-existent. When I do...

I can definitely get backing from at least three professionals if necessary. When I speak to him I will ask if I need documentation. Otherwise I see no need to get it involved unless they say so. After discussing this with a couple of other members I plan to say what I'm going through then tell...

It is amazing how scarring these events can be. Physically and emotionally. But I want you to know you're going to be okay. Don't think of yourself as deformed because that brings negative connotation. When I was wrong diagnosed as schizophrenic, I use to tell myself I had a beautiful mind, not...
