Patient Question: For the quick rundown on everything I have a history of self harm I have been told that I am delusional when it comes to remembering events and conversations that took place within minutes of it happening I get frustrated and have random outburst due to it and do things I don’t mean to do like smash my head off the wall behind me with no explanation as to why I did I just kind of happened I have been diagnosed with bipolar depression severe anxiety and stress levels borderline schizophrenia and plausible brain damage to the right side of my brain haven’t gotten that confirmed because I don’t want to know if it’s true I feel lost and like everything is spiraling out of control and I have no idea who I am what is real and what my mind just makes up anymore and am afraid of what I could be or do and I don’t like the person I have seem to become from all this I feel irrational and crazy on a daily basis and break down about as often as when I was a kid and just don’t know what to do with myself or how to act half the time and apparently ignore everything and everyone who is around me at times and just zone out of everything I find large pieces of days I can’t remember and I am getting tired of life and fighting my own mind everyday and trying to tell the difference from reality and fantasy what is true from what I believe to be true and have no idea what to do anymore my thoughts are scattered and even as I reread this I can see that i feel hopeless alone lost and confused and don’t want t feel this way everyday but don’t have the ability or motivation to seek help and to go to psych all the time I hate talking about how I feel and what I think my issues are because I don’t know I can’t tell one feeling from the next because it all ties back to frustration or aggravation it seems that’s all I feel
