I have bipolar disorder, paranoid personality disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder. I last self-harmed a week ago. When I am stressed, overwhelmed, hurt, or angry, the urge to self-harm is all I can think of. I am trying to seek help.
If I am trying to stop self-harming and I seek help, will I need to be put in an inpatient setting?
I wonder if you really are the long list of descriptions you wrote here.Usually people with personality disorder and people who have bi polar disorder, are not self-aware and do not anticipate their actions the way you write.One possibility is to find a second opinion as to whether you have been overdiagnosed or misdiagnosed. This happens a lot, especially in clinics which make money from prescription drugs and creating dependencies on these prescription drugs.Yes, follow your intuition and ask for help. Just try to find a place which may see you in a different light than someone with a long list of diagnoses.
