who am I????

Posted by Carolyn on April 5, 2000, at 20:03:11

I saw my pdoc two days ago. He has an excellent reputation, and I have had a good relationship with him for the past 12 years. He is a very good psychopharmacologist. I questioned him about my diagnosis, which is Major Depressive Disorder primarily, but with a secondary diagnosis of Personality Disorder. I asked what exactly that meant. He explained...I still could not see how this related to me, so asked for examples in myself. His answers truly surprised me. His assessment of my personality is not at all in congruence with my own. So I shared some of this with my husband and close friends. All were also baffled. I can, however, see that some of what he says is evident in my personality when I am depressed. However, I seem to be a totally different person when not depressed (and a much nicer one!). This changes almost overnight when I find the right medication (which poops out and needs adjusting every few years).

Am I the only one who seems to undergo a total personality change between my depressed and medicated selves? And I am wondering which one is the real me????
