Personal Physical or Mental Frailties

[Beffudled Sheep_v1legacy]

This place is a kind of bastion, just being able to share thoughts in this way and have people respond and actually understand me.

I agree with this sentence more than anything else I've seen on this site. This place is wonderful and full of many great people that have problems and can help each other through them. I myself can post my thoughts here and interact with people without ever feeling threatened or violent. Also I respect your (drunkonestus) ability to persevere through the the family problems and your own, personal issues.

Stay strong everyone.

Schizoaffective disorder mixed bipolar type. Yucky stuff because I can't take anti-depressants despite fairly strong depression.

Generalized anxiety disorder makes me feel fairly shitty.

All that bothers me on a daily basis.

 

[Trololo Punk]

Couple things. I have spina bifida occulta so my back hurts every once in a while. I'm told that if i do not have simple surgery to correct a part of it, the back pain could get worse.

Also, because of a birth condition I had when I was born,
(If your interested in the actual rare disorder here's a wiki link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoplastic_left_heart_syndrome#Surgical_management) I have to take diuretics to help me pee normal and none of my organs really function properly.

Asthma that varies in severity.

Colour blind in my one eye (the left one) because of brain surgery I had when I was younger.

Finally, more a part of my personality and that is I have a pretty shitty self-confidence.

I have a type of anemia I inherited from my Dad, but it's nothing noticeable. The most advice I've ever received from a doctor about it was "uh... take a multivitamin?" I also have psoriasis, again genetic, but aside from one REALLY bad flare-up when I was a kid it doesn't cause me any problems either.

I do hate exercising in most forms though, and the few forms of it I enjoy aren't practical for everyday physical activity. As such, I'm not very fit, though I'm keeping up with the Navy standards well enough.

Mentally, I'd say I'm fit as a fiddle. Not much gets to me, and the only thing I can think of that causes me some grief is my poor memory, but I can't really do anything about that, so I don't mind it much.

I have Chrones disease. It was under control, until I turned 18 and the children's hospital I had been going to decided to stop treating me. I've been handling it fairly well while I've been looking for alternative treatment, but it still sucks.

 

[natster43]

Physically: I am out of shape.
Mentally: I am easily stressed out, and get overly pissed off or upset about the most insignificant things. I also have low self confidence and am awkward around people.

This person right here, that first sentence got me hard for some reason. I'm really glad this thread exists, I wish I could elaborate but it would seem dramatic. Keep fighting, people. You're alive and it means you have an opportunity to discover or even create the ideal you and work to make tomorrow better than today.

 

[Angie7F]

I have arrhythmia.
Everything else is pretty much fixed or under control.

 

[A Satanic Panda]

I have an unnatural resistance to medication. This tends to be an issue in the case of numbing agents, sleeping agents, and pain relief.

This here. Could be muscle pain, headaches, vomiting, sore throat, coughing and nothing ever goddamn works. Three 500mg Tylenol have about much effect on a slight headache as banging my cranium against the oven. The only thing I can ever do to help said symptoms is sleep, but thank god I never get sick.

Other than that, I'm perfectly healthy, which is a miracle in today's world.

I'm there with ya. Cold medicine that helps you sleep in fact keeps me up all night. With a clogged nose.

One oddity I have is every couple months or so I get debilitating stomach cramps. And for 12 or so hours I won't be able walk or do anything. I go and dry heave ever half hour or so during the 12 hours and I become extremely dehydrated and hungry. I just curl up on the couch and wait for it to pass and drink as much water as I can to ease the dry heaving. I've almost passed out while dry heaving it's gotten that bad. Being dehydrated doesn't help either. The pain killers do nothing. (Mainly because I throw them up before they can do anything.)

Last time it happened I was in the middle of getting fillings. I was able to hold it down until the drive home and I just threw up in the middle of the road. For like a week afterword my stomach was sore for the strain it got put under.

I'm somewhat healthy. While I am not obese but I can do with going to the gym (I get tried easily from playing sport like Football whuile back in High School I was fine).
Also I am mentally sane as far as I know.

 

[shogunblade]

I want to be verbally abused (I cannot explain this one at all), I want people to tell me I am worthless, and when people don't, I get sad.

You're WORTHLESS! WORTHLESS I TELL YOU.

I bet you'd probably prefer it if a hot girl told you that you were worthless though. That's kind of a commonplace quirk.

That depends: Are you a hot girl? If no, then no. If Yes, then Yes. If in-between, then, kind of, I suppose.

I want people to tell me I suck at things, instead of telling me that I am good at what I do for the time being. I don't really want try if nobody tells me to do better.

 

[Jolly Co-operator]

I get cold very easily. My lips have turned very faintly purple in mid-50's weather, just because of a slight breeze. I wouldn't mind so much, but there are times when cold doesn't bother me much at all. I'd like some consistency, I guess

I think my vertebrae are a little over-pronounced. When I have to lie on the gym floor in P.E. to do sit-ups, my vertebrae grind on the floor in a very painful way. It's gotten to the point where people near me can hear an odd "grinding" or "crunching" sound. Kind of embarrassing, but mostly just painful.

I'm fairly certain that these are just inconveniences, rather than actual medical issues, but it's all I could really think of at the moment.

 

[lord Claincy Ffnord]

Well I'm going to be nice and original =) and say I have anxiety, in particular social anxiety.

physically I have mild asthma, vertebrae in my neck occasionally lock together, occasionally one of my wrists or ankles will inexplicably become very weak and hurts if I try to put any strain on it (no I don't have any past injuries that could cause it, thats part of why it confuses me).

Also every now and then when my neck stretches when yawning or whatever, something in there dislocates slightly, and I can't really breath till I click it back in by swallowing, but it always presses against my throat when moving adn apart from being kinda painful it always terrifies me that whatever it is that is moving will damage my throat or something else vital.

all in all though, I'm fairly well of.
