I’m supposedly bi-polar, have PTSD, anxiety, major depression, and borderline to name a few. I have decided to declare myself me and that is it. Now when somebody asks me my diagnose I say I don’t know! LOL I am so confused like you. About the benzo addiction… you should seek help to get off them because I think it is dangerous to stop all at once. Yes, I have seen many psychiatrists that give me many different diagnoses.

Being part of a community helps one to feel they are part of something bigger.Also having hobbies and interests are essential to maintaining your well being and they have found activities such as community work or volunteering bring out a person's sense of altruism and a sense of accomplishment. By helping others you are rewarded by feeling good because you gave.Also a healthy diet, light exercise, social activities and good sleep also play a part in being happy and having a full life.

Grab a book, stroll down to the local park and spend some quality time with yourself. Learn to believe in yourself. Take up walking, not fast, just look at your neighbourhood, see the trees, bushes, lovely houses, meet your neighbours. Take control of your own life and don't worry about anything. Drugs only make you more depressed because you worry about the drugs. Dump the drugs, dump the doctors. your cure is up to you.
