Personality Disorders Support Group
Personality disorders form a class of mental disorders that are characterized by long-lasting rigid patterns of thought and behaviour. Personality disorders are seen by the American Psychiatric Association as an enduring pattern of inner experience and behavior that deviates markedly from the expectations of the culture of the individual who exhibits it.
I admitted myself to the local psych ward last Wednesday with suicidal ideations. I was released yesterday and started IOP today. After 28 years of therapy, I came out with three diagnoses of which I was aware (like I haven't had a bazillion in 28 years): major depressive disorder, PTSD and BPD. The #1 on Axis I was Bipolar II, which was brand new. I'm new to this site and this community, neither of which I even knew existed before today. I need friends - I tend to be agoraphobic and the few friends that I DO have are really NOT equipped to understand what I'm going through. So...hello, and thank you for being here. (Heavy sigh of relief.)

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I was nearly admitted to hospital for the same reason by my parents. Its good you tried to get the help. My friends is agoraphobic and I know she finds it really hard. I am here if you ever want to chat, just email me. I hope you are ok! Love Jules x
I have been admitted to the mental hospitals several times. Each time only made things worse for me since I'm agoraphobic. I have 9 diagnoses, as well as several physical illnesses.
I'm glad you took the time to reach out to find others you share something in common with.
PM me if you want to talk about anything. I don't leave the house often, so I spend a lot of my time here, whenever I'm not working out, sleeping, or reading.
