Mental Disorders You Have (Or Think You May Have)

[The Virgo]

I talk to myself.

Hardly a mental disorder, to be honest.

Talking to yourself is okay. Even answering yourself is okay. It's when you say, "Huh? What did you say?" that there's a problem. ;-)

I'm pretty sure I have social anxiety disorder or something like that. Social situations fill me with fear and I don't think I've talked to anyone outside my family in weeks or months...excluding things like buying food but that usually only requires a word or two...

I know I'm a hypochondriac, and with that in mind, I think I have mild OCD, mild Social Anxiety Disorder, and mental disorder tests I've taken online (when bored, not seriously) seem to think that I have very mild mania and schizophrenia, but I don't think so.

So you're a self-diagnosed hypochondriac?

I haven't been diagnosed with it but I am a bit dyslexic. Mostly just with numbers, but I also notice it with some words too.

Normally I'd just write those instances off, but seeing as how my dad was dyslexic, I'm pretty sure that's the problem.

And I chose to go into Physics. Work takes twice as long when I have to go through every single calculation and double-check that I wrote all my numbers down right.

Sometimes I wonder if my emotional range is a bit limited. I can't remember ever being really sad or really happy. I'm content, though, so I don't mind too much. Sometimes I just worry a bit because a "feeling of unfeelingness" (not sure about the proper phrasing in English) is considered an aspect of depression. But then I probably wouldn't be content at the same time. Maybe I'm just a bit emotionally dull.

I have been diagnosed with Asphergers(Ibetthat'sspeltwrong) (so it's somewhere on the autistic spectrum) and I have OCD like tendencies.

Probably have something else, but meh.

-I'm hard to motivate
-I think about suicide every now and then, just too lazy to actually do it. I rather just randomly drop dead.
-I don't trust people easily, I always consider possible hidden intentions.
-I hate, or really dislike, humans in general. >.>
-Little things can make me feel great or terrible, but that's probably cause my life is really average.
-There's probably more,

Let me put this in the "what's-it" machine and see the answer
Ok we just press this button..and....ah..here we are.It says here your..a pussy.
Only joking.
Me myself,i used to be depressed sometimes, mainly because i don't compromise or act different around different people.So i was lonely(that was me just being a teenager).But considering my situation i think i'm rather positive.But sometimes i get these waves of depression, where i don't feel like doing anything and suicide just seems like a load of bollocks.And sometimes i think i will spend my life living in this shitty town and there's no escape or all the things i hate about myself, mainly when i going to sleep because i feel empty and like i'm going to die.But those are just the little things.

a tad bit of schizotypal/OCD like the OP. that wouldnt suprise me. on the record i have nothing, but i probably could be diagnosed with those, probably some depression/bipolar disorder, my social life is a P.O.S., but i dont consider that a "disease" or a "symptom", just a fact. maybe even some Aspergers Syndrome my mom thinks, but i could care less unless it'd be convenient in some way. maybe potentially keep me outta the military if a draft ever came around, but im just not counting on it so i wont worry...

is Boredom a disease? because im so effing bored 24/7 xD

and im addicted to music and women.

I have been diagnosed with bipolar type schizoaffective disorder. A combination of Type I bipolar and schizophrenia.

Its debilitating and really frustrating. I try really hard just to get by. Sometimes i wonder if i'll ever recover....

Anyhow. I hate all this self-diagnosis. The problem with these things many of the people in this thread are self-diagnosing themselves with is that they are severe enough to impair functioning. It isn't enough to just feel certain things. It has to be to the point that they affect your ability to function.

Its really hard living with a mental illness. Especially the stigma. People believe that they have the symptoms when they really don't. So when they encounter someone who does, they just expect them to be able to keep on functioning without help. Just tell them to cheer up and work harder. This is wrong and disrespectful to the people who suffer through it.

Speaking from professional experience, if anyone here had severe mental difficultys, they wouldn't be posting on forums!

 

[Canadamus Prime]

ADD, Major Depression Disorder, Social Anxiety if that's a disorder.

Speaking from professional experience, if anyone here had severe mental difficultys, they wouldn't be posting on forums!

Shows what you know.

 

[Cockney_Jesus]

I'm just a bit weird. I would actually like to be able to call myself something so I could explain the various weird things I do to people but unfortunately I haven't found anything yet.

Um, kindly how do any of the following, all examples of mental disorders mentioned somewhere on this thread, stop you posting on a forum: the less servere forms of autism, OCD, depression, bipolar, any paraphilia, schizotypal disorders etc

 

[BlueMage]

Do you know why your sister felt that way? Probably the same reason I felt the way I did about the ritalin. Because it goddamn works.

No, she doesn't need it. The only reason she thinks she does is because she's goddamn addicted to it, that's why! Her brain tells her that needs it, so she thinks she can't live or function without it.

God, I hate her ... ><

You ... hate your sister, because she took drugs that were officially prescribed to her?

I think you really need to get your priorities right.

 

[Rooster893]

ADHD. I'm a hyper little son of a gun.

I'm almost positive I have bipolar disease, but I never really talked to the doctor about it. I suppose I should, but it doesn't seem to be hurting me, so I don't think its necessary.

Avoidant Personality Disorder. It resembles normal social anxiety outwardly, but the reasoning is different. With social anxiety, you're usually afraid that you'll say something wrong or people are overly critical. Avoidants tend to think they are so low and insignificant that no one would ever find them desirable, and they find rejection more terrifying than a lonely life/death.

Some of us, like me, are also agoraphobic, which is actually the fear of being caught in a situation you can't escape from rather than fear of "wide, open spaces", though that is obviously a subset.

So yeah, a lot of being alone and indoors. I go to work and the grocery store, but that's about it.

 

[VladBlok28]

People say i'm paranoid, but i know they are really just trying to get me. I have irrational fears of losing people and things of value to me. I am extremely afraid of not being 100% in control all the time.

I was diagnosed with asperger's syndrome three years into school, on a related note first two years of school sucked.

I also have this thing where if I feel a sensation on one side of my body I have to replicate it on the other side, even mild pain.

I like to play small games with my surroundings when I'm bored, like trying to step inside the tiles on a tiled floor, always discreet though. It?s like a game to see if anyone notices as well.

I like having a good conversation with myself, helps me think.
