Personality disorder, formerly referred to
as a Characterological disorder is a class
of mental disorders characterized by rigid
and on-going patterns of thought and
action (Cognitive modules). The underlying
belief systems informing these patterns
are referred to as fixed fantasies. The
inflexibility and pervasiveness of these
behavioral patterns often cause serious
personal and social difficulties, as well
as a general impairment of functioning.
Personality disorders are defined by the
American Psychiatric Association as "an
enduring pattern of inner experience and
behavior that deviates markedly from the
expectations of the culture of the
individual who exhibits it". [1] These
patterns, as noted, are inflexible and
pervasive across many situations, due in
large part to the fact that such behavior
is ego-syntonic (i.e., the patterns are
consistent with the ego integrity of the
individual), and therefore, perceived to
be appropriate by that individual. The
onset of these patterns of behavior can
typically be traced back to the beginning
of adulthood, and, in rare instances,
early adolescence.
QUOTE: Social Functioning means going out
to do shopping, Going to the gym 3 x per
week Swimming twice a week possibly going
out to the pub and finding a nice young
woman to start a relationship. I used to
be a barman in my town and lots of girls
after me it was unreal but I was happy. My
last g/f was 6 months ago we split as she
was in a mental institution and phoned my
mobile 154 times so I got the my friends
in the police force to phone her and put a
stop to the phone calls immediatly or
action will be taken. Never heard from
her again
I notice this post has attracted alot of
attention and your still try to determin
my exact medical problems keep guessing as
I know the truth and will not backdown
that I carry 2 spirits in my body. I
guess the pair of them will be coming with
me to Tenerife in early December. I dont
mind as the spirit that demonically
possessed my body mean me no harm and it
has put a stop on the abusive spirit and
lots of things that used to happen have
now stopped and as long as he
keeps it under control I am not bothered
anymore.

How do you define that
(function in society)? You are encouraging
to a lot of people in this online
community, I have already noticed that.
Helping others by sharing your experience
really is important.
Are you in therapy too? Just my thought,
might help you with your religious
inklings about buddhism being evil.... I
have to say, growing up in a
fundamentalist household, I totally
understand why you would have those deep
feelings that anything is evil. The
illness can't help,
either.
Well, I guess it's not really me that
worries about the "lack of function in
society" but the voices and the evil which
is harassing me to get a job and be part
of society, whatever that means. I agree
that posting here is being part of society
in a small way, but that's not enough for
the harassment to stop. The voices used to
say that I will regain my health if I
work, but they won't make me healthy
enough to actually start working. I would
like a job if I was healthy, but feeling
broken and all it's no fun. I'm also
scared that I will get into conflict with
people and that they will hurt my
feelings, be mean to me or get me fired. I
am negative and passive agressive, which
is something I can't control, and I think
lots of people at work (esp. bosses) used
to not like that I have a higher education
than they do. I would watch myself to not
say anything too intellectual, but they
would pick up on it eventually and start
disliking me. I must say I enjoyed
university a lot more than the workforce,
because in the former I used to be
rewarded for intelligence instead of
punished for it.
As to therapy, I agree I would like to
talk things out, esp. hate issues, but the
medical plan (government) doesn't pay for
it. I get my doctor for free and the pills
and the dentist, and that's all. The
doctor just prescribes pills, I stopped
trying to talk to him, it's all just
"psychosis" to him.
I'm definitely stagnating here, just
watching life go by, with issues
unresolved. By the way thank you for
reading, it helps a lot.

Are you in close communication with the
doc who prescribed you the meds?
Sometimes it might come about that they
need to be adjusted a bit to keep the
voices at bay. Sometimes all it takes is a
little bump in dosage or a switch to
something else. You'd be amazed... It's this way with
every medicine from anti-depressants to
birth control to anti psychotics.
And I'd have to argue that contributing to
this online forum really is contributing
to society, heck, I'm learning a lot and
you are an inspiration to who knows how
many readers who are in the same situation
as you (thinking that a lot of people just
lurk and read posts without responding or
registering) and you can give them hope.
Keep it up, and remember, baby steps.....

Grandiosity is a symptom of mania or
hypomania in bipolar disorder (aka manic
depression). In the American Psychiatric
Association's Diagnostic and Statistical
Manual IV (DSM-IV), it is used in
combination with several other symptoms to
confirm a diagnosis of this disorder. This
symptom also occurs in children with early
onset bipolar disorder.
Roget's II: Thesaurus defines grandiosity
as "boastful self-importance or display"
and offers the words "ostentation,"
"pomposity" and "pretension" to further
illustrate this definition. In short, it
is an exaggerated sense of one's
importance, power, knowledge or identity.
It often has religious overtones.
The term "grandiosity" is used to describe
the larger-than-life feelings of
superiority often experienced by those in
a manic episode.
An Example of Grandiosity
I am a committed mother and wife.
Yet I found myself embroiled in an affair
that I thought was the equal to Abelard
and Heloise, Lancelot and Guinevere ...
I'm so embarrassed and ashamed of myself
now.
I am a reasonably good writer and poet ...
I thought I was an amazingly talented poet
and writer. I composed music, wrote songs,
wrote poems, etc. I thought I could do
ANYTHING.

LOL @ you m8, star in a movie that would
be grand opening to my life, ponders over
what they would call it. If you know
any hollywood Directors approach them on
my behalf.
Being serious m8 I know whats going on,
but at this moment in time I have to live
with it until a logical solution can be
found. Medication is not the answer, I
wish it was, it would make me very happy.
But in my case its real and I know it is.
If it was made into a film it would the
biggest and most horrifying horror movie
to be released and lots of people who
watched it would be TERRIFIED. Especially
in the USA!

I hear you Shane but I believe the only
way to get free of this thing is to
realize that it being lesser entity has
clung itself to you but it does not own
you .Only God owns you and this thing
should be cast out...did you seek help
from the church ?there are some really
good deliverance ministries and some
really strong Holy people that can help
you and get your life back..Another thing
to look at is if you are skits then you
need to turn down the volume lots of skits
go through this and you probably feel
alone with it ...Do you have salt and
aBible do you have a cross to wear do you
read scripture??If this thing feels the
grace of God and the Holy word in you it
will flee .Start to read the Bible a bit
at a time and accept Christ into your life
he will hgelp you on a personal level and
plead the Blood of Jesus over yoyrself and
then go out for a beautiful walk in the
country Thank God for all of creation and
Glorify his name raise the roof on this
biting piss head and work >Do you have
a job get into the real world and forget
about shooting someone there is a lot of
that already ..it will just make you feel
worse ...this demon takes all your energy
and time when you could be free from it
..or your Meds. are not right you choose
God Bless keep us posted I will be burning
this thing out from miles away you deserve
better

Its not just me that wishes heart attacks
on people I have replied to lots of posts
and they feel the same way as me. Heart
Attacks are only for the Real Nasty people
in this world who don't care about us.
I am not a nasty man, but I know all the
people on here are not nasty either, but
quite simply we all know the government
doesnt care about us we are all banging
are heads against a brick wall. We need to
come together and put a stop to this
ignorance once and for all.
I felt sorry for a girl aged 14 on here
locked up for year as she hear reals
vocies in here head.
Been away for a while my pc locked me out
and I had to do a fresh install.
I am off to Tenerife 3rd December with me
Dad but I know I am a host for 2 spirits
so thats 4 of us in all. They won't need
passports as they are inside me.
One is a real nice Spirit, but the other
one is not. I also know when he entered my
body. I was locked up for a short while
and I was lying down, next thing I felt a
real hand playing with me private part and
I had the SHOCK of my life. I thought
what is happening this can't be real, but
yes it most certaintly was. Then a police
man came to release me and this real nasty
spirtit found one way in and that was
through my mouth. I felt his little hands
let go of me private part and was relieved
but he put me through hell for 6 months
while I was on a section in a small mental
hospital.
Lots of things have stopped thank GOD and
I have a sense of some freedom. When I
took a lethal overdose to try and rid my
body of this nasty spirit and almost died
I ended up in a crital state and me
neighbour called an ambulance and I was
rushed to hospital unconsious. I felt the
spirit been explelled though me back, yes
I did. I thought OMG I am free of him for
ever, but the little ******* jumped back
in through me mouth and I though OMG he
doesnt want to leave me alone and said
nothing to anyone.

Demons are not the cause of mental
illness. They are neurological disorders.
Do not discredit yourself or the
legitimacy of mental illness by believing
it is a spiritual issue.
