(1) Heey so I'm not sure if you're the right person to ask this, but I have been having experiencing a lot of symptoms that look like a lot of different mental illnesses and it's really frustrating. Like, I hallucinat but its so mild that I don't
(2) if people would consider it hallucinating. I also have like no motivation, and feel depressed and suicidal a lot, I dissociate a lot, and I think? that I have minor delusions. A lot of times I worry that I am not actually mentally ill and I’m
(3) just faking it… I also feel really really paranoid a lot, and I don’t know if I just get scared easily or if that is a symptom. Anyways, do you know of any resources that have information on a lot of mental illnesses, because I’ve done a lot
(4) a lot of research and nothing seems to fit. I should probably see a therapist but I want to have at least some idea of if I have a mental illness before I go. Sorry that this was so long, I talk a lot. ❤
Hi there!
The symptoms you’re describing could be related to a mental illness, however, it’s hard to tell which one, because those symptoms overlap with many psychiatric disorders. A good resource is the checklist that the site “shitborderlinesdo” has, It has a diagnostic checklist for most psychiatric disorders so you could check the ones you think you may have. But remember it’s only a possibilty, although it’s a good resource if you want to have at least an idea of what disorder you may have. And I don’t think you’re faking it, you know yourself better than anyone, and if you feel there’s something going on with you, it’s probably because there is.
Here it’s the link for the page I was telling you about
