August 28 2001

8/28/2011
Sitting here thinking, while the babies are sleeping, about the diagnosis I left the hospital with. Over 10 years, and one prior trip to the mental ward, I have never come home with an actual diagnosis.
Axis II personality disordersI
Cluster B
Personality Disorders
People with Cluster B Personality Disorders tend to act in Dramatic, Emotional and Erratic fashion. People with Cluster B disorders tend to have difficulty with impulsive behavior, they often violate social norms, and act out. They can be self-abusive and hostile to others. 
Personality disorders.
Borderline Personality Disorder (301.83)
Emotional and Interpersonal Instability
Rapid mood swings between ups and downs
Reacting strongly to separations
No clear goals or direction
Inconsistent
Frequently considers self-harm


The more I read about the doctor’s diagnosis, the more I agreed. I definitely have mood swings and I have always been very inconsistent and indecisive.
Do you ever get lost inside your own mind and don’t know how long you are there? You can’t tell how much time has elapsed without looking at a clock? There are times when I am alone, I have complete memories and conversations in my head. If I don’t use some sort of clock or tv show as a timer, sometimes I feel as if I wouldn’t know how long I had been sitting, laying, or picking. (which I will get into at a later time) Maybe, all these things tie into the “diagnonsense”.
