I think you need and crave power. All of us do whether we admit it or not, and there is nothing wrong with that if we source and channel it correctly. Read this to get started.

I've spent much of the last 1/2 century wishing I had the guts to destroy my life.

Please read this book:

IF you mean by "they're all so loud" .. voices, then please try his recommended niacinimide+folate supplementation, to see if it is an overmethylated-DNA problem.

I KNOW his undermethylated-DNA treatment ( enteric-coated SAM-e taken with clear water 40mins before breakfast; or Methionine, which is the "M" in SAM-e, btw ) works, on me. He may have left-out some crucial details ( enteric-coating on the SAM-e, & taken with clear water well before breakfast ), but once those are discovered, & acted-on, it worked. Repeatedly ( 3 months for the SAM-e treatment, 4 months for the Methionine treatment of undermethylated-DNA ).

I also know his pyrrol-disorder treatment works ( when you include the arachidonic-acid-precursor of evening primrose oil, use any kind of zinc except for zinc citrate, which unleashes the PTSD-style flash-RAGES that the treatment is supposed to be removing: it acts too quick, in other words, so creating a chemical-roller-coaster. ) on me.

Since both his undermethylated-DNA treatment & his pyrrol-disorder treatment work, and actually treat the problem, unlike the damn hide the symptoms major-tranquilizers that the psychiatrists had me on, I'm suspecting that his 30,000 patient database, in his research, .. also includes correct information for overmethylated-DNA people.

It is far cheaper to do an honest experiment, & to let the evidence speak its meaning, than it is to continue grinding the same "answer" that never worked, right?

Please dig into his book, & try the experiment.

It has saved lives, & maybe it'll give you leverage you can use in living in your life.

I'd like to link you to her two books, too, one of which, State of Affairs, deals with infidelity directly. Her books are of course easily available digitally including through the national library's service Libby, so as long as you have a library card you can gain access to her books immediately on your phone, tablet, and computer.

I just bought my youngest daughter a galaxy bracelet from Amazon. She gets very anxious and picks at her face. It seems to have helped her. Mind you she is nearly 13. I pick as well and bought one for myself, it's comforting but I'm 36 and need something that will actually distract me. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07QWP7KGC?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I always find that a cup of chamomile tea helps me when I’m having trouble sleeping. This is the tea I recommend, and trust me, it works!

https://www.amazon.com/Bigelow-Chamomile-Tea-Caffeine-Free-Individual/dp/B078S4B2MP

I’d suggest having a cup about 45 minutes before going to bed.

YOU ARE NOT A LOST CAUSE! You are not a label. You are not a textbook check off list. Don’t let BPD define you. Support groups, DBT, CBT & medication can help you. Setting boundaries with others giving yourself grace is a good start. Here’s a link to DBT cards that helped me. When things get hard it’s okay to back off a little. Here’s the thing with BPD. People with BPD have a poor sense of self. Because of this we are constantly trying to find a mask that fits and someone to validate it. This is where the trouble happens. You are a good cause and there is so much HOPE!

In my unprofessional opinion based on my own illnesses and the reactions and emotions they cause in me (toss in some research on abnormal psychology i do for fun/better self-awareness), it sounds like some form of anxiety disorder with your already diagnosed depression. The over-personization MIGHT be from a personality disorder perhaps, though unless there is more going on than what has already been bravely shared, I doubt it is from a personality disorder (my Borderline Personality Disorder does this and a lot of other things to my emotional state and plays a part in my paranoid delusionals).

https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/topics/anxiety-disorders/index.shtml LINK TO AN OVERVIEW ANXIETY DISORDERS PAGE ON THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF MENTAL HEALTH'S WEBSITE.

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/personality-disorders/symptoms-causes/syc-20354463 LINK TO AN OVERVIEW OF THE DIFFERENT PERSONALITY DISORDERS FROM THE MAYO CLINIC WEBSITE. If you read this one, I'd suggest reading about cluster a and cluster c first...narsasistic personality disorder is part of cluster b and from what this post you've shared says, I doubt you'd be in cluster b if any at all (my disorder is in cluster b [borderline personality disorder]).

If you have any major concerns, I'd recommend being open and honest with your doctor about them. If organizing and/remembering them well in the office is difficult for you, like it can be for me, I'd recommend keeping records of them as they come and bringing those records with you to your appointment. Video recordings, auto recordings, j journaling, even bringing a close and trustworthy friend or relative that you interact with frequently may be able to help express your concerns (and give an outside view on their concerns for you - my roomies tend to actually notice more of my anxiety and PTSD symptoms than I do in the moment).

I hope this helps you. I wish you the best with EVERYTHING. ❤💚

The techinal term is catastrophizing. I find my self doing it alot and just sitting down to relax helps me alot

What kind of embarrassing things are we talking about?

You're making out that a lot of what you do is something you shouldnt have said or done. Or maybe something clumsy that happened like falling over or dropping a load of plates?

Just accept who you are, and maybe be more aware of yourself in future situations? Easier said than done.

Try the app Headspace. It's super super helpful and free and do it every day or every time you feel anxiety.

I have been down and out before. I have lived in the bottom of the barrel. I have believed the worst of myself. FIGHT TO PULL YOURSELF OUT OF THAT SHITTY SITUATION. The choice is yours. Quit wimpering and fight to be a happier person. The choice is literally yours.

That's pretty typical of anxiety. One time my cousin told me she couldn't pick me up at the train station about 20 minutes before I was scheduled to arrive. It was easy enough just to take a taxi but I was freaking out. x.x

You should probably talk to a doctor about this. They'll probably want to start you off with Cognitive behaviour therapy.

From personal experience I recommend asking to try something like clonazepam or something from the benzodiazepine family to keep you from hurting yourself until you can find a more permanent solution. However drugs are different for everyone and what works for me might not work for you.

It's scary but I also highly recommend talking about any thoughts of suicide or self harm to your family and your doctor asap. It's a really hard thing to do but the sooner you get this treated and the sooner the people around you are taking it seriously the less trauma you'll have to work through later in life.

Mental illness can build, making itself worse and causing other health problems so it's important you build a strong support system from day one.

There's lots of helpful information on CBT online you can read up on but if you have an android device I'll link you to an app to get you started.
