I did a search on personality disorders today, and found some striking similarities.

However it looks like none of it is really curable, so it's sort of good news bad news.

According to the DSM criteria thats listed on these disorders I find that I have just about 100% similarity with Narsissitic personality disorder, dissocial personality, and a link from that on psychopathy. I thought psychopaths were mass murderers, but according to what I read it would appear on paper that I am all of the above.

Anti-social personality is almost identical, however I dont get involved with the law or any trouble like that. I have a lot of control of myself, and I havn't had problems with substance abuse.

Even if I happen to have one or all of these disroders, which im not sure is possible, what does that do? It doesn't change anything, i'm still having serious problems that I can't seem to control, and i'm not sure attaching a label to what's happening will help any.

As time goes on my problems are getting worse, and I feel like i'm becoming more and more less human as time passes on. I feel like I'm becoming dangerous and detached, and the thing is I feel like I'm living in my head because everyone around me, including the psychiatrist I went to, doesn't see me for what I really am.

I would do it on my own, but everything i've done in the past to remain in control of my impulses, my life, and to just remain in control in general isn't working.

I already saw the doctor/psychiatrist/ whatever he was on the 12th of this month. I tried to explain everything that was going on, and now I feel like there's not much else I can do. He saw me for about 30 minutes, scratched his head in a confused manner and prescribed me some medicine called Depakote, which has nothing to do that will help since it helps to ease manic stages.
