mental illness, got any minor ones? Options

[waffles]

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?

I have been diagnosed with depression and it sucks. I mean, I honestly say I try to smile all the time, but it's just really hard. I don't take meds because I refused them. The funny thing is, my parents are the cause of this and they don't even know. It's a real long story, but to sum it up depression sucks.

I have anxiety, anger problems and depression.

I always get paranoid and procrastinate, like always. At house, there is no day I was in peace except when I am alone or the phone never rings. At school, I always think of me being the reason why some of those kids in my classes are acting unusual. And I get paranoid everytime I found something new that I really do not expect that catches my mind, and I procrastinate on it-think of reasons/solutions to ease it.. which make it worser for me. I have no f**king idea what to do.

I used to have Dissociative Identity Disorder (previously known as Multiple personality disorder). I was lucky enough to be messed up at the right time to get the proper medicines and treatments. <3 I'm all better now.

[*disco infiltrator*]

Do ADD and social anxiety disorder count?

[*mona lisa*]

Social anxiety disorder. Yup. Not very helpful to think about since it constantly bothers me. And ADD; it disrupts my home/school work. I really don't think it's a serious case, but I procrastinate way too much and it's really affecting my grades... :(

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

Manic Depressize Disorder [ Bi Polar ] . The doctors still arent sure if it really is Manic Depressive disorder though. I think it was just a time in my life that gave off all the symptoms Im fine now. But i still carry a lot of the symptoms.

OCD. A small case.My one symptom is i have violent or sexual urges. Mostly violent, occasionally sexual that coincide with OCD.
Im not sure if its OCD but if someone or something i want isnt on precise punctuality i feel suffocated and start hyperventilating until i black out. But those attacks have lessened.

[think!IMAGINARIL...]

does procrastination count?
i was in a state of depression a while back. that's why i wasn't on cb for a while. but now, i'm just like happy all the time!

Eww, old typing habits

Ummm, nyctophobia/noctiphobia (fear of the dark), phasmophobia (fear of ghosts), arachnophibia, catoptrophobia (fear of mirrors, but it's only more of a night thing and with reflections >.> and it's more related to the first two phobias..), claustrophobia (confined spaces, just slightly).. There are a lot more, but I can't remember.
Definitely anxiety. And I'm slightly bi-polar.

I've been diagnosed with depression. I'm going to be taking meds for it here in a couple of weeks.

[jackizzle]

eh adhd but thats about it. it gets annoying because it affects me greatly. but yeah thats it...

[aera]

i had a mild case of OCD, but i'm growing out of it. i don't care if switched aren't all lined up anymore... but i do care if something that doesn't fit is still there. my parents claim i have ADD but i don't think so.

[x3chrissyx3]

Yeah, I suffer from depression, anxiety (with PTSD)
Take meds, works great, I'm all good.

[*mipadi*]

I had moderate obsessive-compulsivness as a kid, although it's diminished quite a bit as I've gotten older.

[xBaBiEGrLx]

not any that i know of...

[illumineering]

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.

[imafreakinazn]

I have paranoia >_>
It's seriously as bad as people make it to sound.
I'm always looking around to see if people are watching me or looking at me, because that's what I seem to think/feel that that's what they're doing.

...>_>
Along with that, I have anxiety problems.

[uLoVeMikeRoch]

I have DSS
Dumb-Shit Syndrome

[MeLoNiSyUmMy]

yea. i have a.d.d.

and struggled with depression after my mom died and then after my best friend spread a rumor about me stealing fifteen thousand from my dad. she transfered it all over the school and everybody..knew about it.

i went to a shrink but then my dad kept telling me everything was fine. personally, i think my a.d.d has gotten better. you just have to know that you can do it and mke yourself concentrate.

[sharpandcuddly]

yes!
i have panic disorder/anxiety
possible agoraphobia [so they say, but im not afraid of people]
obsessive compulsive disorder
and depression.

i'm usually happy though, but sometimes i just get really depressed for no reason.

[*suddenly she*]

i think i have social anxiety disorder and depression.
sometimes it just goes wild and i'm sad and moping for no real reason, and then it happens on and off for days or a couple weeks. and.. i kill parties. or at least, social gatherings with more than about six people at a time.

[xheartbreaker]

I have depression, OCD, anxiety, anorexia, and minor sociophobia, but that mostly comes from the anxiety.
