Tbh, these last few days have been some of the worst I've had in a long time. My moods have been up and down. I've been feeling so crazy, I have no clue what's wrong with me. My relationships are so unstable, and I suspect I may have BPD. I'm planning on making an appointment with a psychiatrist so I can get to the root of these life-long struggles I continue to have. I've already been diagnosed with major depression, but I feel like it's more than that. If anyone could help me, or provide some insight that would be great. Thanks ..IP: Logged |

*Hearing* things that arent there is often a sign one is channeling or having mediumistic messages...i hear things because i ask..it is random at times but comes in very useful, especially as all my family passed over and i can still talk to them *Madness* is very subjective, isnt it? We all are to some degree. IP: Logged |

Bby Scorp...i too have been subjected to mood swings most of my life..lots of Scorp people are this way. I learned to breathe deeply, meditate and move my body which helps relieve the mood. Also look at your diet, i have changed mine completely. I also drink lots of lemon water daily. Looking back i think a lot of my irritability was lifestyle habits i had acquired...bad diet, lack of exercise and not breathing correctlyTry it and you will probably see a huge difference IP: Logged |

Hearing things and knowing they're not there or may not be there is hallucination. Hearing things and thinking they're there is a delusion. Both are forms of psychosis. Delusions make you crazy. ------------------ Tarot Readings | Etsy Coupon Code: LindalandJuly Leo ♌️ Sun, (2nd House), Venus (3nd House) Scorpio ♏ Moon,Mars,Saturn (5th House) Cancer ♋ Rising Svātī Nakshatra IP: Logged |

I don't make the rules. Hearing things and thinking they're there in reality are delusions. If you have a problem with that, you can talk to the World Health Organization or APA or New England Journal or somebody. ------------------ Tarot Readings | Etsy Coupon Code: LindalandJuly Leo ♌️ Sun, (2nd House), Venus (3nd House) Scorpio ♏ Moon,Mars,Saturn (5th House) Cancer ♋ Rising Svātī Nakshatra IP: Logged |

Nothing to be defensive about. You're trying to tell me the definition of a delusion that is conveniently nestled in Webster's dictionary. Religion is a fine line. If it becomes a disconnect with reality, yeah. They're delusional...colloquial ->crazy. ------------------ Tarot Readings | Etsy Coupon Code: LindalandJuly Leo ♌️ Sun, (2nd House), Venus (3nd House) Scorpio ♏ Moon,Mars,Saturn (5th House) Cancer ♋ Rising Svātī Nakshatra IP: Logged |

Hi Don't try to panic too much about this. The more you will worry about it, the more unbalanced you will start feeling. It can have many causes, from having been going through a lot, emotions coming up, big changes in life, through an actual hormonal imbalance, etc. If your relationships haven't been good and/or you keep stepping in the same pitfalls then it's clever to look into this with someone specialised and see if you can work on that. So you can compliment yourself on wanting to look into it. As for you being able to ask the question 'am I crazy', actually tells you, you are not. Otherwise you wouldn't ask it in the first place. Don't try to think the worst or keep focussing on that. Sometimes it's just life events. If you are going to see the doc anyway, perhaps it can help to tell yourself that until then, you will just let it pass and focus on other things & then discuss it with him/her. Hope that helps! Take care IP: Logged |

Yeah, my mom said the same thing lol. I don't think it's really anything about my lifestyle, a lot of things have happened to me that I haven't dealt with. I feel like I'm just paying the price for it now unfourtenatley. IP: Logged |

...and therefore a person grasping for reality is probably not delusional. ------------------ Tarot Readings | Etsy Coupon Code: LindalandJuly Leo ♌️ Sun, (2nd House), Venus (3nd House) Scorpio ♏ Moon,Mars,Saturn (5th House) Cancer ♋ Rising Svātī Nakshatra IP: Logged |

That's great! I try to talk to my mom but she doesn't really understand how sensitive I am about stuff and it really affects me. She thinks I'm just being ridiculous. IP: Logged |

Join the Scorp Club! . My mother and sister didnt get me either and i felt out on a limb somewhat. I found them both harsh and somewhat insensitive and felt misunderstood..but like i said it makes you strong. Scorp is one of the most resilient signs, so we are alwasys going to be okay xx IP: Logged |
