Anxiety Disorder question?

When I went to a therapist to treat my depression and anxiety disorder (general and social phobia) she told me I had a fractured personality ( but not MPD). She told me there were some inconsistentcies in my behavior and thoughts probably due to my anxiety. I guess I'm looking for a more thorough explanation, everywhere I look on the internet, "fractured personality" always shows up with sites related to Multiple personality disorder. I would like to know how I can deal with this without medication and without therapy (if it's possible). Thanks

I've never heard that term before - it might be under the personality disorders category - something like borderline personality disorder would probably be the closest thing. Depends on the therapist too... if it's a psychiatrist or psychologist (someone with a PhD) I'd be more willing to trust them than if it's a social worker or an LPC. The therapist might be just using that term to say that your behavior is inconsistent. If depression and anxiety are your main problems, then there are a number of things you can do on your own. St. John's Wort is a good herb for mood enhancement. Avoid caffeine and other stimulants like energy drinks - that will make your anxiety worse. Practice relaxation techniques, do yoga, make sure to exercise - it releases endorphins that help with the depression.
With the anxiety, keep track of what triggers you, and just being aware of it can help you be more psychologically ready to deal with it. Anxiety is just your body overreacting physiologically - you just need to train it to calm down.
Medication isn't really necessary unless your anxiety and depression are really interfering with your life, and even then, they should only be used temporarily, until you can learn the skills you need to deal with your symptoms on your own. Therapy is great. If the issue is money, you can always ask your therapist if there are some short-term options, or if you can be referred to another therapist that can do short-term.

I have anxiety myself, and sometimes its pretty severe. I have not seen a therapist but I have been to the doctor. All they want to do is put me on sedating drugs. I know when I get anxiety it messes with my personality. It is like I am a completely different person! It has got much much better know that I have built a personal relationship with the Lord...so there is a way to deal with it without meds. I strong walk with him I personally believe is the best treatment, but that is between you and Him. Just wanted to let you know that there is hope and you should turn to meds as a LAST resort. Good luck!
