*triggering (SI/Alcohol Abuse)* bleargh. diagnosis
 

so I dont even know why the **** I'm posting this. probably to get some replies, thats the usual reason for posting.

so I'm diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia though on my driving license app it said major depression with psychotic symptoms. whatever.

But I think my symptoms reflect more accurately someone with bipolar disorder. **** knows which type, I'm not a friggin doctor :-D

I swing between delusions of grandeur and heightened periods of energetic behaviour and depression where I realise that actually, I'm ****ing insignificant. sorry for the language.

and I'm slipping back into alcohol abuse and wanting to SI. and OD. and kill people.

what do you think? which diagnosis sounds right?

haha probs wont get many replies. oh well, you try hard, thats what counts :-D

Yup, that sounds more like Bipolar Disorder to me too. Then again, I'm not a doctor either.

Obviously i'm not a doctor, but those are some of the symptoms of bipolar disorder so perhaps you should bring this up with your psychiatrist or whoever? Ask them why they diagnosed you with schizophrenia as opposed to bipolar, they might have a good reason.

yeah. damn. was hoping to avoid doctors. oh well.

and thus ends the replies! wahey! time to go get drunk XDXDXD see ya'll!

Hey. I haven't talked to you for ages. I'm sorry to hear you're going through sh*t atm.

cheers SM. bleargh, dont worry about me. I'll be alright in the end.

I am not medically trained and neither are the majority of people here so you really need to ask your psychiatrist/doctor.

But part of bipolar disorder is also psychosis. You can have depressive psychosis or manic psychosis.

yeah...thanks for the replies guys. I can't be ****ed with stupid doctors anymore...might as well live like there's nothing wrong ;)

and hey, everyone likes me more when I'm drunk anyway...they say I'm so much funnier and talkative.

yeah...cheers. I'm doing alright anyway...haven't drunk in 4 days. there's nothing wrong with me..so..yeh...*wanders off*

lol ^_^

yeah, dont worry, I'm fine. I haven;t drunk in so long it makes me feel physically sick, but heyyyyy.

lol...you know things are ****ed up though, when you cant be happy without alcohol - I'm expecting this thread to get moved to the substance abuse forums...if you still wanna reply hahaha

tbh I dont know.

I am glad that you haven't drunk for 4 days. The effects of not drinking will stay for you for a bit, but I think things will get better with time if you stop drinking.

eh...haha...I really want a drink right now haha *unhappy face*
