i am just not doing so well. i have been diagnosed with everything from bipolar disorder to borderline personality disorder. i have no idea what's wrong with me. i sort of live in my own fantasy world in my head...what is that?!?!! i love music and could listen to it for hours...as i'm doing now. does anyone feel like me? not so messed up that you need immediate help but enough that you feel guilty.

Hi, Star. I'm new here too - this is my first post. I had an "episode" my senior year of college. I went through counseling but I was never diagnosed with anything. However, I have mild bouts of depression that I don't understand (and some that I definitely understand). Sometimes I lose hours of my day and can't tell you what I was doing. I have a hard time remembering things that happened the day before. I don't realize that I'm "losing time" as it's happening, but all of a sudden it'll be an hour later than I realized. I don't know if this is similar to what you go through or not. But if you want to talk, just email me!

Hi Star welcome to the board.


Hopefully this morning you are doing a little better.


Since you have been diagnosed, I would hope that you have also been prescribed meds?
