Mental Health Questionnaire
What is your diagnosis & how do you currently feel about your diagnosis?: Borderline Personality Disorder, complex PTSD, chronic depression & Binge Eating Disorder; I have accepted them I guess? Currently most of them are pretty well under control, though I am still struggling with the BED. However, I recently came back from a 3 month hospital stay for that and since then I am doing better at managing it.
Are you receiving outside help/support, for your diagnosis?: At the moment, I am not receiving any professional support, however I am looking for a new therapist.
Are you interested in having e-friends to support you? How will this encourage you?: Yes, of course! I think it'll be nice to have people to talk to who can relate as I find that while support from friends and family helps a lot, it is a whole different thing to have people who went through similar or the same things and can truly understand what you are feeling.

Mental Health Questionnaire
What is your diagnosis & how do you currently feel about your diagnosis?: Mine is kind of up in the air, my therapist thinks I have major depression with mixed features and psychosis and my psych Nurse Practitioner says schizoaffective disorder. I also have anxiety (general and social anxiety) and trichotillomania and grief. I've also had BPD thrown around in the past but my current providers do not think I meet full criteria for BPD. I also had PTSD thrown around due to both parents dying suddenly in 2008 and 2009 and my husband killed himself in 2011 and I had a boyfriend die in 2015, but I do not meet full criteria now so I list it as grief.
Are you receiving outside help/support, for your diagnosis?: Yes I see a therapist weekly, a psych nurse practitioner for meds and I have a case manager. I also go to NAMI meetings once to twice a week.
