Teakatte Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Hello there. I go by the name of Teakatte. Let me tell you a bit about myself. I found crazyboards a while back and have lurked but decided to finally join in the discussion. I'm a very sensitive person with a lot of social anxiety. A long time ago I was diagnosed with Bipolar (don't recall if it was I or II), and later an anxiety disorder, but believe these are not my actual disorders. I have been on lamictal and lexapro. I recognize there's a lot wrong with me but believe anxiety and mania are symptoms of a larger problem rather than the problems themselves. I'm currently struggling through a marriage and teetering on divorce. I have a 2 month old son and gender identity problems that seem to come and go every few months. I believe I am very ADHD and have a heavily schizotypal personality but have never been diagnosed with them! I am also a military veteran and 21 years old. Oh, and I am male, but as stated, that's a topic of confusion...I have substance abuse issues and am very obsessive compulsive as well. One of the weirdest things about my problems is they way I seem to change my interests/obsessions/etc. in waves. Every week I seem to wake up and suddenly feel as if the previous week did not apply or as if I opened a new chapter in a book and started on a new path. This gets very frustrating and as of yet I have not been able to find any similar things mentioned in anything. If anyone has any idea what this is, please let me know! Along with anything else you notice, actually, if you feel like calling me out. As I am trying to transition from the military back to a normal job, I am very broke and cannot yet afford a psychologist/psychiatrist... Anyway, it's nice to meet you all and I look forward to talking with you in the future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
