Mental instability.

[Thetwistedendgame]

Psychiatrist diagnosed me, mum and my younger brother with Asperger's syndrome. I got out of the draft because of it, which was nice - and I am quite capable of leading a healthy life despite of it. If there was a cure found tomorrow I'd probably stick with Asperger's.

Wooo, Another one of "my kind". Seriously though, they're making a big deal about autism. The only reason you can notice it is because we live in an age were we get to choose. People have theories about famous people having a form of mental illness. And their points make sense too. Autism has been there since enternity. But now you have those haters and psychiatrists out for money to go look for it.

My ex-girlfriend is mentally instable. Does that count?

 

[loc978]

Psychiatrists never know what to call me, exactly. They're never even sure whether or not I have PTSD, much less exactly what personality disorders I have (aside from schizoid & schizotypal. Everything else seems to fluctuate from doctor to doctor)... but they tend to agree that I'm more emotionally stable than most "happy" people. I just have a lot of hatreds that aren't going anywhere any time soon.

Aspergers symdrome, yeah the usual here, other stuff I'd rather not say here but if I've told you then you'll know what I mean.

 

[bob-2000]

I have extreme anxiety which causes frequent, intense panic attacks. Fun!

 

[topwomble]

Why is it that you're only ever diagnosed with the cool mental disorders?

 

[Doclector]

I have aspergers syndrome, I'm also hugely paranoid and distrustful, including a massive amount of caution taken to avoid the number...erm..."one and three", I am admittedly misanthropic, but every time I try not to be, something always seems to "prove" that I was right alll along, I have not too frequent, but frequent enough to bother me nightmares related to my experiences of severe bullying, I have no self esteem, I often punish myself for mistakes by biting my hand, and tend to panic over things too easily.

I'm a wreck. I don't need a psychiatrist to put it on some database that I'm a wreck. I'd rather the next employer I apply to not find out I am not perfect enough to meet their standards before they even know me. Oh wait...they do that already. Every. Damn. Time. Sorry, I got mixed up there, but an employer being one NI check from finding I have aspergers doesn't help my chances, so having a big label that says "NUTTER" there would excacerbate things.

Hello mates! Do you have somekind of mental instability? and if you do how do you handle it? Or do you have somekind of "contact" with somebody that suffer from a mental instability?

I know this questions are a bit odd but I'm mostly asking cos' two days ago I got diagnosed with that I'm a sociopath, I suffer from post traumatic stress and I got some "version light" of schizofrenia. I really don't bother any of the 3 things, I really couldn't care less really but it got me thinking how others handle and live with their mental instabilities.

I also hope you don't feel offended by the questions, have a good day.

"Sociopath" isn't in the DSM-IV and I don't think it's in the Euro equivalent either. I'm curious as to what they actually told you. What event do you supposedly have PTSD from?

Are you a sociopath? Are you not acquainted with Jiminy Cricket? Is that why your avatar is nazi love?

I was diagnosed for depression, Attention Deficit Disorder and Asperger's. The key word being "diagnosed", as the QUALITY health professional reached these conclusions after a whopping fifteen minutes of talking to me (after which he charged my parents several hundred dollars for the privilege), and the criteria for Asperger's is so laughably vague I could seriously diagnose my cat with it. Then he spent the next year or so handing me a varying array of pills that did precisely jack shit until I finally decided to stop swallowing his physical and metaphorical bullshit. The depression thing is probably real though, considering I?ve been suicidal for a large portion of my life and the only reason I haven't actually done anything is because I?m too fucking lazy even for that. Probably a sociopath too, but as my interpersonal interaction is close to null that doesn't mean much.

Also:

I'm not going to self diagnose myself. And $15 saying anyone the calls themselves insane, isn't insane/mad. Because it's a lot worse than TV and movies make it out to be.

Also being really sad or upset about something =/= depression. Please PLEASE don't get this mixed up.

Saying you're depressed or insane doesn't make you cool. Really, it doesn't unless you're talking to 13 year old girls.

Pretty much this. My father volunteers at a nursing home and some of the patients there have Alzheimer's or dementia, and it is as far from appealing as physically possible. At the very least, having some actual sense of perspective allows me to realise I'm nowhere near insane, just a garden variety idiot.

i have Bipolar disorder. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder

 

[KaosuHamoni]

I wanna be one of the counter-counter-culture people here to say that I have no mental instability whatsoever. But ignore the naysayers. *Cough*

Freak!
I bet you even have a healthy social life, 'My Lord'.

Men who are already dead, have no need for a social life.

OT: Well, I have Asperger's Syndrome, if you can call it a mental defect.

Why don't you read about skinheads and you'll know? Real skinheads are not Nazis, they who are are idiots, same for the other political skinheads like SHARP and RASH. case closed.

And now back to subject: They told me that the way I act towards others and how I look at my relations to other humans are correct to the mind of a sociopath, I personally have hard trusting others no matter what role they got in my life and I see everybody as traitors and I don't have any symphaty with other humans no matter who they are also I look at other humans as consumable, no matter in what way. And that's just the begining, theres a lot more to it, but I'm not discussing that...

And who the fuck is Jiminy Cricket?

 

[Monkfish Acc.]

One time some doctor tried to diagnose me with schizoid personality disorder. Then I started acting up so he shifted me to another dude who tried to diagnose me with manic-depression. Then I got shifted to another dude who was baffled at these reports of an unresponsive, curmudgeonly asshole when in front of him was the sweetest, most open lad he'd ever met.

Acting is so fucking easy.

 

[Sorafrosty]

Separation anxiety. It hampers my life quite a bit, and more so of my significant other, but I have had counselling, and I am currently working through it. It is not so easy to live with at times, but this summer I have extensive... well, 'training', or 'practice', I suppose you could call it, to go through, so I am aiming to get much better at being on my own a little.

I truly found all of that insightful until I got to the end. That is priceless.

Jiminy Cricket is the character from Pinocchio who serves as the conscience. I dated a woman who was a sociopath, and Jiminy came up quite a bit in reference to her, or rather his lack of presence in her life. I doubt, based on what you've said, that you're truly an antisocial personality. You may have problems trusting other people, you may even try to screw them over in anticipation of being screwed by them, but this alone is not enough for me to consider you a sociopath. I could be wrong, of course, but the sociopaths I've met would never ever discuss their condition, or even acknowledge it, and they felt an extreme sense of superiority over all of us conscience-bearers. They would be incredibly offended by the mere idea that the psyche community or anyone else would have a name for them.

Some crazy thoughts, sometimes of suicide (often, whatever), can't speak for shit around people, feeling all alone in a threataning world, wild mood swings, the usual shit.

Seriously, were people always like this and we are just starting to find out thanks to all the communication, or is all this crazy a new development?
