Mental health diagnosis

I do have tons of trauma and phsycological things since childhood to adult, and have dealt with narcissists. Curious to know if anyone was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, bipolar, schizophrenia, dissociative personality disorder, anything etc.? Bart does a number on you..I was talking to a police officer whom I know who had a friend with lyme amd they thought he was schizophrenic because he hear voices and had visual disturbance, go figure. Anyone have paranoia, suspicious, or mental lability codependency?

I have never heard of the you tube you mentioned I'll look into it as well as the link. I was doing better I guess until you end up having narcissists bk in your life. I was curious to know if anyone actually would up in the phsyc ward ever as I did. I look bk now and I'm like wow I tried to commit suicide as a kid and teen because I was so sick and the docs etc didn't believe me . Nobody did. Which is traumatizing enough. I've also dealt with rape, I have cited as well no doubt. My llmd says lots of patients of theirs have sepersye traumas, ptsd and their own personal life mental health illnesses not including the lyme and bart etc. And says lyme and bart makes it so much worse. I was just reading someone else posts on them thinking domestic violence is related to bart ! Thanks for this link, I've been looking for the "right type" of therapy let's just say. Church and turning to God helps tremendously as well.

Sorry for all the suffering you have endured, running wild and MedicalNerd!

Re: psyche wards.
I have (rather my father) experience with them and I’m NOT impressed.

My mother died at the young age of 55 (diagnosed with colon cancer one year earlier) my dad sank into depression.
He and my mother had just retired. My father built a house about 20 minutes away from the ski resort - Whistler. You may have heard of that mountain.
Within a few months of retiring their - one evening my mother suddenly doubled over with pain in her abdomen.
My dad called emergency and she was transported to a hospital about an hour away.

My sister and I got in my car and drove (plus a ferry ride) to the hospital.
Mom was just out of surgery.
The surgeon came to us and said there was nothing they could do - they opened and closed her. She had colon cancer that had metasisized and was not contained in her colon - it was all over inside her abdomen.
He gave her a few months to live.
My father collapsed to the floor - just couldn’t deal with that.

Mom lasted about a year -trying many alternative treatments and she lasted one year before passing away.

She was a strong lady - only saw tears twice in that year.

After she passed away my father sank into depression.

He ended up in the psyche ward - and that was the start of his demise.
The meds they gave him turned him into a zombie - he could hardly speak - couldn’t write anymore - he “shuffled “ when he walked.
We tried to discuss weaning him off after awhile and their idea was to wean him off was in three days.
That didn’t work (duh) - he became psychotic so they put him back on meds - this time a stronger one called Olanzapine.
He never recovered - ended up in an old folks home until he passed away.
