Mental health

[annieatnofour]

Evening iam hoping some of you can offer me some advice here and help.

I have a friend who is a psych nurse and has on occasions informed me that I have all the traits of having a personality disorder.

This was said again last night, and she had been drinking, and now iam so upset about it.

A little bit of background - have split up from my husband of 17 years last year, but the marriage has been under strain for the last 5. Husband putting me through a lot - meeting woman off the net, using web cams etc.
Also 6 years ago had my first bout of depression - take anti d now and saw a counsellor at the time, which massively helped.

Also saw a counsellor when my marriage broke up last year, which I saw as an investment in me, and helped me come to peace with marriage breakup.

I struggle with my self esteem , but would live to work on that, so if anyone has any tips they could share with me that would be great.

Also how do you know if you have a pd - and if so what can be done about it?

Thanks in advance

Morning all!

Well have just spoken to my mum about this - was really fearfully that she was gonna say " on yes we have all thought that for ages " but no, she feel about laughing and told me to take no notice!!

feeling relieved then? :)

Yes much better thanks!!

I had that when I was in a terrible situation like you. It stinks. Why did she not come up with this before if it is so true? Why now? Ask her! A friend? And to take it to its logical conclusion then you would need to see a psychiatrist Why now is my question?

Hey ... Thank you for the replies .

Well have spoken to her about it ... And told her that I wouldn't like to hear any more about it.

She told me not to take any notice of her ... And she did say we all have certain traits of a pd.
Thank you all for your replies and help

Christ if she spoke to me she'd probably think I was a raving lunatic.

Glad you've got it sorted!
