Multiple Personalities

[jazzy]

Oh jazzy..I'm so sorry to hear
You know when I made this thread, it was not my intention to upset you or anyone else about these things. Any type of Mental Illness is not fun regardless what it is. It really sucks to have to be medicated to anything even if its not Mental Illness.

Thanks and I do really appreciate your thread here to help us to understand little better about ourselves. God bless you.

That can certainly happen. The symptoms are the same as a mental illness, and it is called situational psychosis. Once the substance causing the malfunction in the brain is removed, the psychosis disappears.

Yep it happened to me and I was so freak out by this. Thank God I was well educate enough to know the different between mental illness and physcial illness. Finally someone else listen to me and found the problem and solved it.

Yeah I know what ya mean EyesBlueDeaf..But it is amazing what medication can do these days. If it makes a difference for your child great. But you never know, may not have to be on those medications forever.

my little one (the one I adopted) has ODD and ADHD. I knew along that she has some kind of emotional problem because of her birth mother used drugs while she was pregnant. Been struggling for 6 years and finally took her to psychiatrist to have her put on medicine. What a major improvement since she started the med last month. I was hoping to avoid medication but I realized that her body / mind is chemically-unbalanced and there was nothing I can to do to improve her behaviors. Sigh..

Yeah I know!!..People try telling me I should request that this thread be locked. I'm said no way & when saw people trying to start BS in here I was quick to get it stopped before it even got started

I'm really glad that this thread didnt get locked up because we are actually learning alot from it

Your very very welcome Liebling))!!

Thank you for nice compliment, jillio & JLKWildKat...

Your very welcome jazzy!! & Thank you for the appreciation of my thread!!
God Bless You also

That was very very 'Brave' of you jazzy for you to post that about yourself. I actually started crying....& Just so you know..'You are not alone.' So many out there in this world have Mental Illnesses. Yes that's including myself.

You see, I didn't make this thread to look great. To show off & make fun of people with MI of any kind. I made this thread to defend those, to talk about, discuss things in relation to Mental Illness. Some may not understand. But that's fine with me.

But what I do know & I believe I said this earlier. I do know (just like me) people with any type of Mental Illnesses can do the same things anyone else can do. No matter what it is....People say no, but we show them YES!!

So many people I've talked to in my life with problems. No matter what their problem is, rather its MI or not..Allot never actually knew that I had mental problems myself. Even people that don't have MI, never knew that.

Yes having MPD(which that what they diagnosed me with back then before DID), ADD/ADHD, & other problems I have(sorry I don't give out everything ). I do NOT let those things stop me in life. I've learned so much, learned so many things, no matter how hard it was or not. I felt I never had to prove myself to "NO ONE" I had to prove myself to myself. Because years ago, that's how strong I became when dealing with these problems, even before I knew I had them.

I used to make fun of those before I found out I had mental problems myself. from youth to oh 10th grade I think it was (maybe sooner)when I had my wake up call in life. That's why I did what I did when I told that story about the 1st deaf guy w/ MI I ever met & 1st sign I learned. "Thank You"

So please don't, no one needs to come forward with your MI like jazzy & I just did. I'm not looking for people to feel sorry for me or nothing. I just want people that have MI here & everywhere else in life to know...You CAN do anything you set your mind to!! I have & I still am no matter where life takes me.

But one thing I do want to say is Thank You to everyone who has participated here so far & hope to keep having a successful thread here

Thanks and I do really appreciate your thread here to help us to understand little better about ourselves. God bless you.

That's new to me and interesting to know about MPD.

I accidently to vote about know someone that who have MPD then I'm supposed to vote about not know about someone that who have MPD.

 

[~SG~]

I voted "No I don't have or know someone with Multiple Personalities". Interesting to learn about this Multiple Personalities.

(((((((hugs)))))), ur brave too to come and forward with MI. Open this up with us and help us to understand about them better. I have no problem with people with MI and other stuffs. I have two sisters who are MI due to PTSD so I have to be careful with what I say to them without upset them so much. Now my husband is going thru his deep depression because of his chronic pain which it has not been easy for me to be his supporter and comforter. He goes to therapy to deal with it and his pain. He has not accept it yet. I have seen people who act strange alike we used to have a man who walk down the street everyday looking for trash out of trash can. He used to smack his own head then dance then smack his own head then dance. He never bath and he was so dirty. One day my husband decided to give him a coat because it was soo cold here during winter and he worn it everyday. I thought he was homeless but I was wrong, he had a home and had alot of money but he just happen to have MI. He had been here for many years then he was gone. We sure miss him. We do not know if he had MPD or schizophrenia or what?. That is why I do not vote. I have seen too many and not sure where they fit into this or that.


Thanks again for this thread. And keep going on with life and live with it is no big deal really. Just happen to have this disorder and life move on. Keep dream on and reach it then u will be successful. In my own person belief, everyone will go thru this one time in their life and they will understand it. I sure did. God bless u too.

I appreciate the thread it makes learning great here thanks!! You really are educating people. Mainly I have to say it feels like a class or school with this thread.

That was very very 'Brave' of you jazzy for you to post that about yourself. I actually started crying....& Just so you know..'You are not alone.' So many out there in this world have Mental Illnesses. Yes that's including myself.

We all do have MI, some of us just dont know it and that the time in our lives that we are stunned by it. We are told that we are worse than those that are "normal". ONE THING that should be said is that no one is "NORMAL". I mean who is anyhow?

You see, I didn't make this thread to look great. To show off & make fun of people with MI of any kind. I made this thread to defend those, to talk about, discuss things in relation to Mental Illness. Some may not understand. But that's fine with me.

The thread looks great. It may not be the best looking in someways but you really gave us an educated way to MI. I am surprised though that you are brave enough to set a thread to help AD.

But what I do know & I believe I said this earlier. I do know (just like me) people with any type of Mental Illnesses can do the same things anyone else can do. No matter what it is....People say no, but we show them YES!!

sorry to ask this but ADD, ADHD, ED, ODD, MPD/DID, BPD and another BPD. How are these all related??? Very confusing!! ouchies with trying to understand them all. CAn JLFWildKat or someone clear this for me please? Even with my 16 years of medical research.

ADD is Attention Deficit Disorder. It is thought to be caused by an imbalance in brain chemicals. Does not cause psychotic symptoms, jsut trouble concentrating. But because the way that society and schools systems treat children with ADD, they often develop behavior problems. Not so much from the ADD, but fromthe way they are treated. ADHD is the same, only includes hyperactivity. This is a more severe form of ADD. ODD is Oppositional Defiant Disorder and is thought to be the result of having a mother that you never bonded with, or from abusive parents. Sometimes, kids with ODD will do better with meds for awhile, but therapy is also reccommended. MPD/DID is an extreme form of anxiety disorder where the host personality has experienced something so traumatic and horrible that they "create" another personality to take over and suffer the abuse. Anytime they find themselves in a situation that causes emotional pain, another personality that is strong enough to handle it is "created". BPD is Bi-polar Disorder and is a form of depression. Rather than simply experiencing periods of depression, however, the patient cycles from depression to mania. It has a biological cause from chemical imbalances in the brain, and is treated with meds and therapy. The only ED that comes to mind is Erectile Dysfunction, but that isn't a mental illness.

Except E.D. can also refer to an eating disorder. Sufferers of an eating disorder will often shorten the term to just E.D.

Such as "I developed my E.D. (eating disorder) at the age of 12."

Hope this helps

Thanks for the correction! I should have picked up on that,but was thinking about several things at once. OOps!
