ENTP - Do you think you have a mental disorder

**CJ99** · 04-07-2010 01:26 AM

Basicaly I struggle to stay awake and focused and I've figured out that Its not sleep as I recently cut my sleep from 7-8 hour a nite to 6 and Its made no difference other than giving me more time for LOST!!!!!!! XD

So I'm looking at mental disorders to see if that the problem and I'm curious to see if other entps think they have mental disorders!

So far I've looked at:

ADHD - distinct possibility!
Bipolar disorder - Makes a lot of sense.
autism - the resistance to change does quite fit

i'm curious as to why you are questioning mental disorders before anything else....
i'm bipolar..type 2

I'm questioning mental disorders because many of them have exercises, tasks etc to cope with the so called disorders so if I could find some of these excerises designed to help bipolar disorder or ADHD then I could use them to help my lack of concentration, mood swings etc.

Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to label myself but to use the labeling to my advantage! a bit like I do with typology!

You can't be an extraverted autist.

Really I could see a weird ENT being autistic. As to bipolar from research there are quite a few well known people with it who are probably T and probably ENTP. Stephen Fry is the best know one.

From the description of bipolar it sounds very NP.

I'd rather say :
NP sounds very ADHD
I could see a wierd INT being autistic

Beside the 3 disorders you mention are so different to one an other that's it's wierd that you mention them for yourself in a raw. Please tell your symptoms, maybe someone could help you to see more clearly through. What makes you anxious about yourself? Do you really have social, school, work repercussions of your difficulties ?

Stephen frye is listed as ENFJ in some websites. Not sure how accurate this is but the funny thing is that I better relate ENFJ and bipolar disorder. Fom my own experience, some ENFJ friends are bipolar...
