Being a person who does that kind of thing, i have occasionally looked at diagnostic criteria for stuff, not because i want to diagnose but just so that if i get a diagnosis ill know what they're talking about. However, a lot of things have 'lasting at least x amount of time' for things, like mood swings have to last a certain length of time for a number of things. Or theres the whole interfered with your daily life/unable to perform tasks thing. I get all kinds of stuff going on, suicidal, seeing/hearing things, paranoid, massive mood swings like people have said im on drugs. But the longest any one thing has ever lasted is maybe two weeks. Mostly it changes every few days or less. And ive never been unable to pretend im fine. Im just worried that it will appear that things arent a big deal because of this. Like im just overreacting to things, and saying suicidal when i mean fed up etc. im currently trying to get treatment, and its really worrying me, so
What does anyone with any similar experience think? Have you been taken seriously?
