This related more to my borderline personality disorder than depression... but maybe some of u might still experience this.

Lately.. ive been goin thru a  crisis im sure everyone has gone thru at some point.. but im really worried

I have no idea who i am.  i dont know what to say to ppl anymore..i dunno wat to do.. im so lost.. because i dont know how to be myself.  It seems that all i am is my mooods.  my moods take over and become me. One minute im one thing..and the next im completely different...  i have no solid foundation so to speak..  it might sound stupid but i am sooo lost.  i dunno what to do with myself!!  Any opinions?

Hi there 'kisses from cat'...must be dreadful to feel like that..I cannot even imagine how that feels..

However I am gonna suggest 'journaling' for a week or so - just jot down your feelings, what's going on around you, the weather, anything really..and see what happens..sometimes that's all it takes to get us back on track..

Do you think that going to the doc. and explaining what is going on with you might help? Just a thought anyhow :-)

I am sure there will be lots of helpful replies for you. Take good care.

Hi Kisses,

I use to take the risperdol like you do. I recently switched to 'abilify'. And it seems to work even better. Maybe you should talk to your doctor about increasing your risperdol or changing it. I know how the moodiness can go and wondering which one is you. So please mention this to the doc and see what he says.

Also we all have questions of who we are at one point or another in life. That is something that just kind of works itself out in time. We have to get to know ourselves I guess. I wish you much luck with this.

hugs, Karen

I feel the same at times, I feel that I have mainly 3 moods, the "normal" tbh rarely seen one, the "sad" one and the "agressive" one, my counsellor suggested that I give them colours, so Normal is Pink, sad is blue and agressive is red! Not sure that this is any help!

Sometimes I feel like I've been changing and adapting myself for so long. that i have lost my sense of self, and not entirely sure how to find me again!!
