Hi,
Can you please help me diagnose my symptoms.Okay here they are. I have an up and down personality, one day im wicked happy, the next i am psycotic.I can't keep a job, i often give my notice and quit, i cannot stay focused at a job, i do not like authority.I feel extremely offended when someone shows me how to do something, or if someone does something to help me , I feel as if they think i can't do things on my own. I am always in my own world, i cannot be in the present moment, i am always thinking about what i have to do a few days before i have to do something or i dwell on things that have passed. I am extremely forgetful, i loose my cars keys all the time, i cannot remember anything. I feel like an idiot. I think of what should of been said in a situation, hours later, when it is too late. This one bugs me, i always come up with the best things to say 5 hours later. Oh well

I feel strong when i am by myself, weak around others. I cannot think quick. Im worried what everyone thinks of me. I want everyone to like me.I dont stick up for myself. I cannot finish daily errands. Thanks

Do you have insurance? If so speak to your Dr so they can get you to see someone it can be so many different things, alot of times a chemical imbalance that meds will help with, good luck to you and keep me posted!

Your symptoms sound a bit like Attention Deficit Disorder. I would see a doc to get an official diagnosis.

hi,
I actually went to a doctor awhile ago and he didnt think i had a problem, he said i was just stressed out. So he put me on paxil. Well, the paxil made me have anxiety. So i stopped using it. I know i have something wrong, but people keep on thinking its my personality but, its really not. I will look up Atttention Deficit disorder. Thanks.

Ok first of all i think we need to clarify what the word "psychotic" means - it actually means that you hallucinate hear voices have delusional thoughts etc - so if ur not having any of those u are not psychotic! (so tell us what you mean if you dont mean what ive just described) being up and down can be a number of things - as for the other stuff, car keys - thats normal - unless u do it a lot (forgetfullness could be a sign of being overworked or stressed) as for thinking what to say hours later - hell, a lot of people suffer that i know i do all the time - in an argument or a witty bit of repartie - i always think of the worlds best come back hours later - as do a lot of people. unless u are having proper "psychotic" symptoms id say u were just a bit stressed (even if u dont realise yet) the best thing to do is have a chat with a doctor.

write back and explain what u mean by psychotic
