oh, i've been pegged borderline (and histrionic! woohoo!) before and believed it for awhile...but you know what they say about southern girls with conservative fathers: they're the wild ones. we wanna f*ck sh*t up! i'm young too...and lack the temper of the borderline...as far as the schizo stuff goes, i was glad that my paranoia had a special name: ideas of reference. i also dug that the doctor called my blackest depression (2000-2001) "psychotic." that gave it some weight. i really felt like i was going crazy, that i'd die or was dying, and i was delusional.
but i've thought about it more and read about the disorder and i go back to Me: i own my own weirdness, i don't think i have these disorders (except depression and anxiety). it goes back to the crappy upbringing, the abuse, the terrible shyness (that i don't have too much of anymore, but it was debilitating for 23 years).

> p.s. I had you pegged as schizoaffective/borderline p.d. from the gitgo. Takes one to know one!i think i'll always have a wild streak...but i was bothered about this dx because the doctor had just met me, and decided this in 15 or 20 minutes. and all the sudden she wants me on an antipsychotic.
the last time i was hospitalised (january of this year) everyone said, "What are you doing here? you seem so normal. happy-go-lucky. yang. *What* are you doing here?" i was there because i go along and go along and then i decide to kill myself. just the other night i was drinking and having a fine time, but then i twisted up my sheet and tried to hang myself from the shower rod, but it fell! the downstairs neighbor made a noise complaint on me! sadly funny...
anyway, everyone i know thinks i'm normal! i don't act weird...just a lil wild...
