Schizotypal Forum

[inbetween]

Hi there, so it would seem, I am new to this particular forum.
Not sure what to say to introduce myself actually.
I have a bit of a beef with my identity- oh really?

Um.
I'm of the female variety.. don't like gender identity, weird.
I'm 19 years old. Young? Too young? Too old? (just asking myself).
Sorry, I ramble a great deal.

Been previous diagnosed with a couple of different disorders, people tossing up ideas here and there..

Currently diagnosed with clinical depression and borderlinePD.. I disagree though.
I'm very interested in psychiatric disorders and was.. prior to actually being diagnosed with anything.
There is a great, well obvious (natural?) overlap in personality disorders, as well, personality traits themselves overlap- very complex.

... I don't have abandonment/ trust issues regarding separation and/or loss. Mistrust, etc is caused by suspicion, ultimately of the universe entirely, as well as other beings. The inability to communicate or connect sufficiently on a social, human being to human being level thus affects this.
The feeling of being alienated from reality, an outcast; messages hidden beneath the surface and conspiracy. Anguish resulting from this isolation and the inability to resolve this social ineptness.. anxiety and conclusions do not decrease even if interactions are more frequent, it only confirms the anxiety-born suspicions.

Evidence of idiosyncrasy when speaking, or ever perhaps typing. Fail to explain, I believe is not due to intellectual capacity. Indeed I like to hope not. Therefore the issues, this only outlining one particular symptom disregards the conclusion that I am labeled an inaccurate label- Borderline Personality Disorder. Hoho, you are wrong.
Some, stupid mental health professionals who do not know me from a bar of soap..

Yes, and checking all the boxes for the cluster of symptoms.
Though, I suffer from chronic depersonalisation- this can be co-morbid of schizotypalPD, no?

Enough blabber from me, sorry.

Nice to be apart of the forum; not so alone..

Wow you are 19 just like me. Welcome, i was misdiagnosed too in my younger days and I know how that suspicion that what you are diagnosed as seems wrong. Trust me, you are more than welcome here. Feel free to post!

Hi inbetween, and welcome to the forum!

I do believe a depersonalisation disorder can be co-morbid of schizotypalPD... I don't think they rule each other out.

I wonder how many people are misdiagnosed due to mistrust of shrinks. It's hard to tell anyone all the things that go on inside your head. I'm also guessing StPD has added diagnosis problems due to paranoia coupled with face to face communication issues and a tendency to go off on tangents.

Thanks for the warm welcomes everyone! It is nice to see others can relate.

MGMT- yes, I thought as much, I didn't think they would rule each other out; just in psych's eyes perhaps they would lean to one diagnosis rather than the other, depending on the severity of the symptoms? For me, I'd say they're very intertwined..

hopingforanew- I totally agree. Extremely difficult to share some of the things that go on in our heads. D: I'm quite afraid of sharing.. even more so these days; when I was very unwell, I was diagnosed with schizophrenia, but I think many of the symptoms were amplified by overwhelming anxiety, severe depression and dp/dr, etc.

Hm.. communication issues are rather frustrating.
