Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi I'm a 20 year old (21 in November) male, 6'1", 170 lb. My concern is more psychological than physical. I've always thought I had some sort of mental illness for a few years now but I always dismissed it cause I don't fit all the symptoms of any disorders I researched online (although I do fit quite a few). But especially beginning last year my suspicions have grown and I seem to have less control over my symptoms. I was miserable most of the year and I did very poorly academicaly (I usually am a scholar). But since the symptoms vary in intensity from day to day, I still tend to dismiss my suspicions on a relatively good day. I really don't like to make a big deal out of nothing but I also feel miserable sometimes so I really would love to have a proper diagnosis. I've suspected many different disorders but recently I've come to believe I have BPD. Could you chat with me so as to make a non-final diagnosis? It would releive me greatly. Thank you.
I think, you have borderline personality disorder. It usually happens with patients of personality disorder. They do not fit in one diagnosis. Better to consult a psychologist and get your personality test done. That would help to make proper diagnosis. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
Thanks
