There are many different types of personality disorders. My mom has borderline personality disorder. The symptoms that she possesses are: Impulsive and risky behavior , unstable mood, and fear of being alone. Were you recently diagnosed with one?
Hi Bubulous, thanks for getting back to me so quick.I really appeciate it.
No I wasn't diagnosed. I just thought maybe that is why I don' thave friends. My mental health nurse kind of told me once in an off the cuff remark that I might have a personality disorder. I couldn't find information about the subject.
Thanks again for the help.
Try Googling "types of personality disorders" You will find lots of information there. If you are having a hard time i would suggest going to a doctor to see if anything is wrong or if you can get a referral to a psychologist for more help if needed.

The best recommendation I can give is too utilize a mood tracker, either on here, or just a journal. Be as honest with yourself as you can. If you are depressed write down your symtoms and if you know what caused. Write down who you interacted with the day before and the thoughts or feelings you had when you interacted with them. Whether you were nervous, you felt like they didn't like you, you thought they were judging you, or, perhaps, if you thought they were kind and compassionate.
A doctor will ultimately diagnose you but it won't hurt to learn some about mood disorders. Anything can cause the onset of a modd disorder but you have to understand when it started and come up with a vivid, clear picture of the symptoms you possess.
Journal, Journal, Journal, be careful about diagnosing yourself but interpret what you read and relay that to your doctor.....Good Luck.
