I feel like a borderline schizophrenic...
Hi everyone,
As title, really. Says it all. I really do feel that I'm bordering on schizophrenia. Usually I'm polite, kind, and friendly (in the words of friends, I should point out, before being labelled as egotistical), but there's times when I just seem to become the utter opposite - any sense of decorum goes, and I - I don't know. It really does feel like I'm a totally different person when I look back, having recovered and subdued 'Hyde' - I'm angry, moody, seem intent on destroying my relationship, and, to put it frankly, pretty much the opposite of my usual self. This has been going on for a while now, rather a long time (sorry I can't be more specific). There seems to be no rhyme or reason, and it's not just temper fluctuations; I literally seem to be a totally different person.
I'm sorry this is rather vague, but at this particular moment I don't feel like writing examples - I might give it a go later. I was just wondering if anyone else feels this way, what they do (don't get me wrong, I try to control it, but despite getting better since being with my partner, there are still times it just takes over), or if they know anyone like this (and again, what measures they take). I haven't spoken to anyone else about this - I'm not sure why, but for some reason TSR seemed to be the first idea that popped to mind. I suppose, in a way, just writing it down felt good, to let it out but with anonymity. So yes, anything is appreciated right now.

Not schizophrenia.

Taken anything at all recently that might be making you feel funny (could even be cough medicine)? Or had something happen? I wouldnt jump straight to schizoprenia, but whatever you do, DO go and see a doctor.

If you had any kind of personality disorder then you probably wouldn't be this self aware or realise you had a problem so I'm disinclined to believe you're schizophrenic. Could possibly be mild bipolar but most 'mild' things are usually just a fairly normal range of human emotions. Unless you're sleeping for 20 hours a day one month and working all night being totally euphoric the next then you probably don't have that either.
How old are you? You sure it's not just being a teenager or whatever? I still go through weird patches like that and I'm 23.
If you're genuinely concerned you should definitely see a doctor, you can't rely on what you're told on here.

This isn't schizophrenia.
You could just be moody.
If you're really concerned, go and see someone, but to be honest I doubt it's anything.

Reminds me of PMT.
It sounds like you're stressing out about something. If you're really concerned the best thing you can do for yourself is go and see your doctor

Thanks for all the replies everyone. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I'm schizophrenic, hence the qualifier 'borderline' - it's just that it feels slightly that way. I can't say I've taken/eaten anything odd/out of the ordinary recently, and it's not like this is the first time this has happened. I'm not jumping to conclusions, just trying to word this in a way that seems appropriate. Evidently most people seem to think seeing a doctor would be the best course of action, so I might try and book an appointment soon.
And thanks Juwel, that made me laugh
