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? |

QUOTE(imafreakinazn @ Dec 13 2005, 3:09 PM) 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.  YEAH I KNOW ABOUT!!!!! "dont mind me i'm just crazy " |

QUOTE(Lo Mein @ Nov 21 2005, 7:03 PM) 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. Agreed. No one knows it though. I wanna get some help.. but whatever.

^ But arent kids who are born autistic diagnosed at a very early age? I think they would have diagnosed you a looong time ago if you indeed had it.
Maybe its something else? Alot various problems share the same symptoms.

Hmmm.. I don't have a mental illness that I know of. But, i might for all i know, considering they're highly genetic and my Mom and brother have one and my brother's is pretty serious.
If i had one, it would probably be an anxiety disorder because i worry a lot.

ADD, ADHD, and I have diagnosed myself with depression. None of it is extremely bad though. I think there are always ways of coping with these things.

hmmm, yes I suppose adhd is add except with the hyper part added to it...so saying ADD was overkill.
ahhh...and I have feared have bipolar dissorder... after watching the movie "girl interrupted" I was convinced that I had borderline personality dissorder. I believe that its easy to get carried away with all of these diagnosises and stuff though. Its a part of living...its just things about our character and personality...eh...I'm to tired to get into this... |

I have Attention Deficit Disorder. (A.D.D)
It's no fun. I wouldn't call it a mental illness but a Learning Disability. I hate when people make fun of A.D.D. Or I hate it when people "assume" they have it just because they can't pay attention at one time. I know i have it. I've had test a bunch on times, they're no fun. I hate it when people think just because I have it, I'm dumb. I'm actually very smart. The only problem I have is that I learn in a different way. |

Again, I think my A.D.D has gotten worse. I can't pay attention to anything.

I always thought I had slight ADD but I never got tested.
I just looked up the diagnosis, and apparently I fit just about all of them... |
