NOTE: I understand if nobody wants to talk about this. Mods can devour this thread if they'd like.
Does anybody here have a mental illness? I mean, I look around, and see that just about half of all the people I know have a.d.d. or something. I even have one (not a surprise if you look at my signature) I have either an extreme anxiety problem or depression. It's hard to tell. Every moment of my day is spent worrying about something. Most of the time it's about grades or my ex-girlfriend, who dumped me WITH A NOTE. Other times it's about my friends, who constantly argue, or any other random thing that comes to mind. It's tough. Small things keep me awake at night. I can remember one full night's sleep for about a month. When my gf broke up with me, things just got worse :-/ Anyone got a problem of some sort like this? |

When I was diagnosed with cancer, I fell into a major depression that lasted for several years. I felt like I lost everything that I identified with and couldn't engage life for the longest time. It wasn't until I left Cali and quit looking backwards that life began again for me.

OMG. ![]() I was also diagnosed with clinical depression 5 years ago (I'm on Zoloft), and then I was diagnosed with ADD just a year and a half ago. I honestly don't believe in ADD though. I view it as a mental variation, not necessarily a mental illness. I've also been diagnosed with a sleep disorder and I'm on medication for that (Trazodone). Does that count as a mental illness? And because of my sleep disorder, I can never get a good night's sleep, so I have to take Provigil to keep me awake in the daytime. And I've been showing symptoms of bipolar disorder, so I'm going to have to get that checked out. Ugh. My brain probably looks like a smashed grapefruit. |
