Opinions. PLEASE !?!?!?!

Posted , 5 users are following.

This is something I have never shared before, something I’ve never told any of the professionals I’ve ever spoken to over the years.

My diagnosis at the minute is Borderline Personality Disorder, but I am convinced there is something more.

You know the way children sometimes have imaginary friends, well mine never left - she’s called Lexi, but I just call her Lex.

It’s like having this whole other person in my mind. I can tell you what she looks like, what she sounds like.

She is either really helpful and boosting my confidence or making nasty comments and encouraging me to self harm or overdose etc.

I talk to her, like my lips move but no sound comes out, I can have full conversations with her. The thing is I don’t know if lex is echoing my comments/thoughts that I have about myself or if they are spontaneous.

I also dream vividly, I can have conversations with people in my dreams, then when I’m awake and talking to the person about whatever topic we were in the dream, the person has no clue what I’m on about because it didn’t really happen, but I’m convinced it did`

    Hey Erin

    Can I just say, I have never been able to relate to someone so much! I too have a few "imaginary" friends that switch between being supportive and aggressive, and we converse all the time.

    Anyway, even though I'm no health professional, I feel that you may be somewhere on the schizophrenic spectrum like me, since you experience hallucinations and delusions (positive symptoms).

    If you can, do try to talk to a health professional about this.
