My Personality Just Changed! (Mental Health Check In)

My Personality Just Changed! (Mental Health Check In)

I recently had a change in my personality. I had a hunch that it was changing because my personality has changed before. So I decided to self-take the PID-5, a test that measures personality traits. I'm not a clinician so I can't perfectly say that my personality is out of whack but the results showed that I was really close to having a personality disorder.

I wanted to discuss this because it's part of my mental health check in. How has your mental health been lately? What things in your life might be affecting your mental health? Take this time to reflect on it.

Your life matters. Nobody can question your worth. Whatever it is that you're going through, however it is that you're feeling: It's okay. You are loved.

Dont be too hard on yourself Ryan. Breathe. Make lists of the things you need to address and start with the easy things. You are a tower of strength for me with your perspectives. You help me. When I hear your voice its like sitting down with a warm drink on a cold day. You are comforting. Keep safe my brother.

Btw, I love your channel. I haven't followed you from the beginning, I was a little late to the party, but, if it makes you feel any better, I don't really miss new videos. I already feel like those 'in my head' and 'head over heels' are jewels on youtube. I rewatch them sometimes and I've sent some of them to my friends. Even if you stopped posting, I'd still have your channel as one of my dearest channels, who have helped me immensely.


I also 'don't miss new videos' because you mentioned in one of your most recent ones (I checked, it's the NO ONE cares about me) that you were feeling a little lonely. Anyway, I imagine you taking care of yourself and doing more stuff with other people, living your life, etc. So it's not bad to be without new videos for a while. The important thing is that the videos you already posted will all be here for us to enjoy again and for new people to see, and that you are treating yourself kindly and enjoying your life out of Youtube.

I understand where you're coming from Ryan. I started a new job 6 months ago, started dating 4 months ago (after being single for 18 years), got dumped last weekend after coming home from an international trip (I guess that was my "welcome home" gift), and just moved into a new apartment (needed to exorcise bad energy). I think my personality has changed in reflection of the last few months. I was trying to please the guy I was dating and was living a codependent life of preoccupied and obsessive thinking. It sucked, but I wasn't ready to break up with the person. We also work together and that's another stressor. Luckily I have a great therapist who's been helping me move forward. My personality and attachment style tests changed over the last few months too, but I think that's normal. I suffer from C-PTSD and attachment disorders. Take care and keep truckin' friend. =)

My check-in:
So I broke up with my ex in 2016 and we remained friends right away. I thought we could still try again because he was dealing with depression and I thought he'd want to try again when he felt better. He kept on giving me mixed signals afterwards and I felt really bad when I was with him, because that situation made me really confused all the time. Even small things he did or said made me confused. I started wondering if I had borderline personality disorder...I didn't know if I was so uncomfortable with my feelings at that time because I was really exaggerating or if it was because he was so blunted that any emotion at all seemed exaggerated.

Anyway, we finally decided to cut contact with each other this year, in April. I've started hanging out with 3 other friends and I've realized I was worrying about having BPD basically just because of this awful relationship with him, who would always give me mixed signals and basically have no emotions at all. When I opened myself to these other friends, they'd tell me how they had gone through something similar, or how my reaction was natural, for example. And with my ex I even had periods of feeling insignificant, as if I was invisible, like nothing I did mattered or had an effect in the world, because I'd say things to him and in the future it was like I had never mentioned such and such. With these friends I stopped having these feelings, because they always mention things I said, they remember my routine, things I like, when I say I'm sick, etc.

So now I've been feeling like I'm a very cool person, and I admire a bunch of things about myself, like the fact I'm sincere and sensitive and how much I value my friends and being vulnerable. I look back and think 'HOW on earth would I NOT act as if I feared abandonment when I was with a person who would treat me as if I was important one day and replaceable on the next?!'. So yeah, it seemed like my personality changed, because my situation changed and my behavior changed very quickly these last two months.

You are perfect to me Ryan. I was always anxious when I didn't have a partner in my life. I have learned that I have to take it slow when finding a mate. I have a lack of trust now big time. Take care of yourself. Love you friend.

I was recently asked by my new partner if i was recovered from the nervous breakdown that lead me to learn im autistic. Legit question but I did not have an answer at first. That lead me to do some research and conclude that i have worked hard over the past 3 years and i have indeed recovered in many areas. I asked the question to myself in each area i have challenges. Im still autistic and always will be but by identifying and adressing my weaknesses ive been able to educate myself and alter my beliefs which drive my behaviors in large, dependant personality disorder, ocd, ptsd.

hi Ryan.. my partner of 5 1/2 years has BPD.. BIGTIME!!!... at times it is unbearable...im not a therapist either, however we have been to a few different therapists. I believe there are actually 9 characteristics, and my partner has all 9.. its a roller coaster ride sometimes. As you said sometimes people simply wont put up with BPD, but I also think that understanding the disorder is also a large part of the battle. Due to childhood trauma, my partner seems to use anger as a defense mechanism. I dont hear anger in your voice at all. I do appreciate you talking about this disorder from your perspective because often ppl who have this often cannot or will not talk about it, especially in an articulate way as you do... I thank you for that. When he is good and happy I feel like the luckiest man in the world... when he is angry, I wonder what the hell im still doing with him. When there is an anger episode I do 2 things.. 1. I never reward his anger/bad behavior with anything good.. 2. I remember that song.."storms never last", and soon we are back to normal.. thanks for what you do.... Pips
