my diagnosis are so muttled that i feel like a mental illness stew.
a little of everything.
i have BP2, but my hypomania is rarely good, usually dysphoric that tends to get a little on the psychotic side. sometimes my mood swings are typical BP and other times they're quick and Very distinctive- once dx as BPD and now realized to be DD switching.anyway, things have kinda changed for me over the years...but is it that my life is more stable so now i'm noticing them? or is it because i'm aware of what/who they are so i notice more?
and i had a major 'breakdown?' a few years ago where EVERYTHING kinda came down the wire at once and illness got severe. So that may be exacerbating things also?
once i started therapy (because of S. attempt)...That's when i started having flashbacks and memories started coming back and now there's no going back. i feel like i can't hide behind the 'nothing ever happened' anymore.i feel like even with my (inner's) i function pretty well. i'm not having any job issues (yet) anyway. and i'm able to care for my IRL little one.
So overall, my inner ones aren't currently causing me distress. of course i'm in thearpy once a week also. maybe if i stopped now it would get worse?
rs i do agree with your T in that my 'inner ones' are there for a reason. and they protect me.
i wish she would have explained 'costly'....hmmm makes you wonder.
