Mental Health Questionnaire
What is your diagnosis & how do you currently feel about your diagnosis?: Initially, I had paranoid schizophrenia diagnosed (15 years ago), and still take anti-psychotic meds for this reason... The newer diagnoses are BPD, AvPD, depression, Binge Eating Disorder (all diagnosed in 2017), and PTSD (last July). I do not struggle with the hallucinations anymore, but I think what I experienced "back then" really helped me view things from different perspectives than I was used to. Also, especially the BPD, AvPD, and the PTSD helped me really know what I am dealing with.
Are you receiving outside help/support, for your diagnosis?: I am seeing my psychiatrist on a regular basis, and also have found a lovely therapist who really helps me see things in different lights & who is very supportive.

Anything Else: It can be that some of my entries deal with "heavier stuff", even though I try not to overdo it. The thing is, I put these ( ... )
