I'm seeing a therapist and he made me take 3 "personality disorder" tests. First of all, that's a huge mistake to do to someone who already suffers from Generalized Anxiety. I basically assume I have all the problems listed even if they don't show up in the results. I really think this doctor is putting a lot of unneeded information in my head. At first, he thought I was paranoid and wanted to put me on anti-psychotics then the next day, he completely forgot about that and told me i was highly depressed and anxious and wanted to dope me up on antidepressants. You can only imagine how this has sent my head spinning. Up until my last visit, i was perfectly fine without any anxiety. However, when I went to see him, he told me he thinks i have Social Anxiety Disorder. Now when I go out, I assume the role of a socially anxious person and basically trick myself into playing these disorders. Before he told me I had SAD, I didn't get anxious in front of people and I didn't give it a second thought....now i'm a bundle of nerves. If I went in there tommorow and he told me I was schizophrenic, I'd probobly belive him and i'd start to make myself hear voices. Needless to say, i'm not going back. What is wrong with me?! I don't know if I'm in denial and the fact is true that i have all these disorders. The ironic thing is that i scored low on the 'hypocondria' section however, I can't even read about mental disorders or I start to belive i have them....no matter how insane they are.
