Personality disorders and suicide

[Greyhawk]

I was recently diagnosed with depressive personality (which isn't in the dsm anymore) and avoidant personality disorder. I suspected that I might have apd before I got the diagnosis and I feel like they have a big impact on my suicidal ideation because they cause me to socially isolate myself and feel feel like shit all the time. I feel like I'm subhuman, below everyone else.

On the bright side guess I've got some hope since personality disorders can be treated. Are you diagnosed or do you suspect that you might have a personality disorder/disorders? How much does it contribute to your suicidal ideation?

When I recently left the psychiatric clinic, I was diagnosed with mixed personality disorder. My desire to ctb isn't due to my disorder itself, nor to the previous diagnoses psychiatrists have given me (depression, anxiety, OCD, amnesia, among others, and whatever else they want to add). It's due to the daily pain and suffering I endure, and only I understand it. No one knows you better than you do. On the outside, diagnoses are like labels, but inside, there is constant agony and torture

Cluster C Personality Disorder. Look it up. Along with anxiety and depression. Ain't I a mess.

What @Ligottian said. AvPD in my case.

Honestly fuck a personality disorder. A personality disorder is a "set of maladaptive traits that are enduring and not treatable" which is just a bullshit way of people saying they don't like your behavior. I have a useless degree in psych from years ago and I got As but when I took my personality course I wrote a whole essay basically telling my teacher to fuck off because you can't put people in boxes.

I also have "avoidant prsonality disorder" uh no I just know when to walk the fuck away from shit. I evolved a lot quicker than most because I avoid nonsense, and yeah I might be here but that's only because I have shitty parents.

I am in denial of all of my diagnostics - one of them is in fact a personality disorder though. I'll give you one hint: the entire performative part of mental health community hates people with my disorder and it is not BPD.

I think it does play into my ''suicidality'' (in quotes because I am at peace with it, and not suicidal in an impulsive way). I would probably be more determined to live if I hadn't developed mental illness alongside physical. However I believe that it does not make the things I say and think about suicide invalid. I do try to see things from outside perspective even if I disagree.

Gotta be NPD, right? Not gonna lie, I'd be surprised to see someone like that on a suicide forum.

I have BPD which yeah it sucks like any other disorder.

How does that contribute to my suicidal ideation. Anxiety. Arguments. Loneliness. Intense depressive episode. Abandoment and other things but thats all I can name in the top of my head.

Im no doctor so

I feel you
When you are diagnosed with a disorder, you feel like crap... it happens to me. Besides, the social stigma is still present and doing CTB is like an "escape" from taking pills

i have schizoaffective disorder (when schizophrenia and a mood disorder are present at the same time, bipolar personally) which before medication made my life extremely hard. caused a whole lot of non sense like torturing mood swings, delusions, hallucinations and yadayada. not fun but thankfully im on meds now so its more manageable

Undiagnosed but I'm 99% sure I have AvPD and think I may also have SZPD as well.

AvPD has completely ruined my life. I can't do even basic tasks because I'm so terrified someone will see me doing it "wrong." Just things like taking out the trash or getting the mail takes all of my mental energy and I have to take time to mentally prepare beforehand. And phone calls? Forget it. Driving? No way.

I freak out doing literally everything because I'm so preoccupied with being judged. I can't get it to stop. This disorder has robbed me of my future and I'll never be able to get a proper job or go to college or any of that because I can barely get myself to leave my house. Life is exhausting. Every day is a chore.
