Hi

I'm Missy19. The truth is, I need some help.I know that I have a disorder of some kind, but I don't know what it is .It could be:

-Attention Deficet Disorder
-Dissociatve Identity Disorder
-Schizophrenia

I'm not sure, but I hate living my life this way and need some help.

I also have been suffering from bulimia for almost five years now. But I know that there's something else wrong and I want to find out what it is. The whole bulimia thing has been going not to bad. I'm learning to just eat little portions at a time so that I don't feel too full, but sometimes its hard.

Anyway, could someone get back to me about the other possible disorder that I may have. I would really appreciate that.

Thanks

Missy you have not listed any symptoms. Why do you think you have one of these problems?

Well, i've read up on the web about these disorders and I have some of them.Like for ADD, I have trouble concentrating,I can never seem to finish anything,when I read I switch the letters around and don't realize it until the sentence doesn't make sense, I figet. Those are just some of them. For Dissociative, I sometimes feel like I don't know who I am, I have frequent mood swings, I look in the mirror and don't recognize myself,a lot of times my handwriting is completely different, I don't always feel like the same person. As for Schizophrenia, I see and hear things,usually see things though, I can get angry realy fast.

These are some of my symptoms. I guess I should have known to put symptoms on my first post but I forget a lot. Sorry about that. I guess I can't expect help if I haven't given you any info as to why I think these things.

You really need to be seen by a doctor, this is a complex area and only a trained MD can tell you what is going on. It may take several visits, some of the symptoms can be caused by many things i.e. drugs or hormone imbalance ect.. If you don't have insurance try looking in the phone book for a mental health comunity, or free clinic. Do you ever have thoughts of hurting yourself or others? If you have call your local ER or suicide hotline, they will better know what is available in your area. You really need to be seen. Good luck.
