I use to post on here way back, when I was going through the deepest of my depressions. I’ve since then had many many more breakdowns similar and it has recently come to light that I have a high functioning personality disorder. And for once in my life I don’t feel crazy anymore. I feel sane knowing everything I was feeling has just been validated.
I hope the rest of you out there find some type of closure for the way you feel.

I’m glad you can come to peace with yourself, getting diagnosis will help you further to understand yourself and as to why you do the things that you do. I’m glad there is a place like this were we can come together and understand why we are the way we are. Keep fighting and stay positive, trust me I know it’s not easy
Can you describe more about how the diagnosis helped? I assume it came with some kind of treatment?
I’m also suffering from high functioning disorder, but nothing helps. After being diagnosed I did feel validated for a while, but I think that was just due to people (seeming like) they care. Finally doctors and professionals were paying attention to what I had been telling family and friends for decades. But eventually the doctors moved on, prescribed a year’s worth of pills and forgot about me. So I’m right back where I was, crazy and alone. The pills stopped working after a month when my body adapted.
Is there such thing as lasting recovery? If you found it, please share the treatment.
It just helped in that it made me self aware. Not that I was ever the issue but I did react to problems very emotionally intensely and got blame put on me by my abusers. I haven’t overcome anything and haven’t met decent ppl or stared fresh. I’m the type of person that gets used and targeted and it never stops. I’m just excited I finally had a name to some of the things others don’t under about me etc. but turns out I may never find anyone that understands and that’s almost worse …
I’m happy to see you’re doing okay! Disorders are a constant life long struggle, I’m glad to hear you’ve been taking control of it
It must feel better to have that control and direction to guide you.
