Mental Diagnosis, Take 2.
15 years ago
So after another psychiatrist visit today, I had the curiosity of if I have Bipolar II disorder and I do. As a random fun thing, I'm a pyromaniac I made mention of to her, but I have control over my urges. It's still technically diagnosable though. :P My psychiatrist and I get along quite well. She's always nice and personable. :)
Now to list off my diagnoses. Of course I've always had this technically, but you're friends/watchers and I'm sure you don't think negative of me. These diagnoses, for the most part, explain why I am the way I am. Mind you the 200 mg of Zoloft helps deter these symptoms. :]
(Copypasta'd from an old journal other than the last two.)
-Clinical Depression
--I obsess over things I feel guilty of, making me feel bad for an extended period of time.
--I will also feel guilty about things I shouldn't feel guilty of.
--I'm often in a state of detachment.
--I don't enjoy things as much as I used to.
--Some off thing which shouldn't do it could cause me to go into a rage.
--I will stay in a down mood for a long while of course.
-Panic Disorder
--Though I've been able to concentrate with self control, there are occasional times I'd feel I'd lose control, freaking out, perhaps in a scream.
--Following that, the panic attacks make me feel detached from the world.
-Social Anxiety Disorder
--I often feel distressed in social situations. Mainly dreading how I put myself off to others.
--I will often likely humiliate myself in some way or try to act differently to fit in so to get the hoped positive outcome.
--I tend to speak anxiously because of the disorder. Often it's me talking too fast and stammering.
--Here's more detail regarding symptoms I looked to for reference for SAD: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social.....order#Symptoms
Bipolar II Disorder
--I will have major depressive episodes more intense and frequent than hypomanic (less than manic meaning I'm in control, but can be more productive with a burst of energy and ideas) episodes. This would be the reason why I act the way I do sometimes whether in my journals or through chatting.
Mild Pyromania
--I have control over an urge to burn something as logic kicks in. I only burn what is small, perishable and holds no value of any kind.
