Any other disorders here besides Bi-Polar?

In reading, seems like most here are Bi-Polar. Just wondering if there are any others who have other disorders. I have been diagnosed with Anti-Social Personality Disorder, Schizoid, PTSD, and Dysthymia, RAD (Reactive Attachment Disorder) depending on the shrink I am seeing at the time. LOL

I do know I have no empathy, only emotions I feel are sadness and anger, and have no connection to anyone or feel anything for anyone.

BPD is actually short for Borderline Personality Disorder which is what most folks in this group are. Many are both Bipolar and BPD though.

I am Schizoid.

OH ok.. Not too familiar with the Borderline diagnosis. Thanks for the info. Was thinking the BPD was BiPolar... OK got it LOL... As one Schizoid to another Hi. LOL

Just had a mental picture of a Schizoid therapy Group..an empty room since no one wanted to be around anyone else. I used to be like that but have mellowed a lot in my old age. I actually am semi social, in fact, compared to what I was when younger, I am the life of the party now... LOL

I'm in the PD group because I've been diagnosed as Borderline and Avoidant. I've also been told I have high Dependent, Schizoid and OCPD traits.
Also been diagnosed with: Major Depression, Generalised Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, Agoraphobia, Panic Disorder, Dissociative Identity Disorder, PTSD, Bipolar, an Eating Disorder and Body Dysmorphic Disorder. OCD not diagnosed (they think it's an alter with the disorder, not me).

Whew. That's one hell of a list. And that's just the mental health issues. There are more physical ones too.
