You can tell by going to a psychologist and being diagnosed. You're certainly not going to be able to tell by asking on a message board, knowledgeable and well-meaning though the members are. Listing symptoms and experiences is useful and interesting, but they cannot express the degree of distress or the impact on functionality. I could go get my DSM and list the criteria for you, but you can't self-diagnose, and even if you did, what would be the point? You can't give yourself therapy or medication. It seems to me like you're probably feeling quite distressed about how you're feeling or behaving - the very best thing you can do is go talk to someone who has the knowledge and expertise to help you through it.
