I think I'm misdiagnosed, lol.

Bipolar II and ADHD are the two big ones but I'm pretty sure I'm not bipolar and in fact have borderline personality disorder. Gonna see a psych about it soon; if it's true it'll explain a lot of my mood problems, and how they seem to stem from interpersonal difficulties rather than the other way around.

Got into a relationship last semester that basically ruined my academics; fortunately I withdrew in time, but I was really depressed throughout, and we broke up right when the semester ended. In the case of BPD or whatever I have, it kinda hurts to find out that the way I give and receive love is fundamentally unhealthy. Probably don't wanna take on another relationship for at least a few years, while I get my **** sorted out.

I feel like I'm beyond repair because my inability to treat my illness and muster up the courage to face my trauma makes me unfixable. Being a broken human makes me worthless to humanity, in fact my illness makes me a literal poison to the gene pool that should be cleansed from it before I infect it further by either procreating or projecting the same sickness that my father projected onto me.

Who cares about being worthless to humanity? Have you ever committed genocide? Raped anyone? Embezzled millions? Humanity is worthless to each other all by themselves.

Don’t make any babies. Let that **** die with you. That’s my game plan. I find my own DNA repulsive too. It’s disgusting to see blood relatives even. I don’t even really think that’s a mental illness. I give you props for recognizing reality.

Keep your head up homie

Saw an article on the BBC website earlier saying that about half of people who are on antidepressants experience withdrawals when coming off them, and of those, half of them will describe their symptoms as severe. Mentioned that its not uncommon for this to last weeks or months and sometimes longer.

So for anyone who has been on these medications and stopped, did you experience withdrawals? I am concerned about this.

I read that article

It didn’t even specify which medication

I quit Prozac abruptly

I think people get withdrawals confused with the ****ty feeling they had before they started taking the drug
