Having multiple diagnoses

Having multiple diagnoses

Does anyone else struggle to find help while having multiple diagnoses, I feel like people only ever want to help with one issue at a time and in reality they all feed off each other and you reduce one and another gets worse I feel like I can never actually get better or even be properly functional it is a constant struggle. I am diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder (bipolar type), OCD, OSFED, depersonalization disorder, social anxiety, general anxiety and BPD. I just feel like I can never get on top of all of them like I am too big of a mess.

Re: Having multiple diagnoses

@Define_normal Hi i am sorry you are struggling to find answers i didnt have a proper diagnosis until about 2-3 years ago before it was just we dont know it is complicated so took them about 18 years to get anywhere.

@Former-Member that is perfectly fine and a good discription i do actually have both but forgot the other ones name it is very uncomfortable at times.

Re: Having multiple diagnoses

I am really having a hard time managing everything especially with everything going on and I keep trying to look for options for help but the options keep getting smaller and smaller and I really am not sure what to do long term. This shouldn’t be this difficult. Idk I am just so tired and it is so hard.
