In the past five years I have been diagnosed with ADHD and Trichatillomania. I also show signs if compulsive eating and compulsive lying. The compulsive lying has burned bridges with all the members of my family, and even though my mother is a psychiatrist she hates me and will not help in any way or refer me to her colleagues. Even though I know I brought this upon myself, it still hurts to have the members of my family say I m self-centered and have no conscience . I am sick of being a dishonest, untrustworthy person. I have low self-esteem as well, and often hate myself. I would go out on a limb and say I had Borderline Personality Disorder. I show many of the symptoms including the feeling of emptiness and extreme mood swings. What do you say?
Hello, If your mother does not agree with you, I think you need to seek the second opinion. It is never a good idea to deal patient from family for a psychiatrist and I do not think you need to consult her (my personal opinion). There are many options which can be used in borderline personality disorder depending on the symptom profile of individual patient. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
