Re: How many here have a Mental Illness?

i have OCD which gives me a perfectionist attitude and makes me really obsessive over things
that, combined with anxiety disorder gives me a lot of nervous habits: i've done everything from nail biting to obsessive hair pulling (trichotillomania)

i also have hypothyroidism which came with depression when i was younger but i've now gotten over it, but it still leaves me with very low appetite & low energy/chronic fatigue

Re: How many here have a Mental Illness?

I was medicated for anxiety back in 2012 when I was living in New Jersey, mostly because I was having trouble with focus and emotions. Cognitive tests did not indicate any real mental issue, and I eventually just weaned myself off of the medication.

Re: How many here have a Mental Illness?

I was diagnosed as having A.D.H.D. and autism when I was four-years-old, but it's very minor and I've matured enough so that no one can tell I have either of these diagnoses, and I haven't taken any medicine for it since the end of middle school. However, I am overwhelmed when I'm near a lot of people in the same room, and I have trouble making friends sometimes.

Re: How many here have a Mental Illness?

Something like OCD is probably not too far off. It's really random to see what kind of things set me off, but when something I don't like isn't perfect I just have to fix it. Or move away from it.

Re: How many here have a Mental Illness?

i was diagnosed with bipolar depression in high school, about 4 years ago, and i hate the pills they gave me so i quit taking them after about a year. the depression is easy to self-medicate, but bipolar disorder is something i just had to learn/am still learning to cope with.
i also don't think depression is a "mental illness," it seems to ALWAYS be an implication of societal conditions, akin to alcoholism.

Sounds similar to me. I wasn't diagnosed with it until I was 12 or 13 though cause I guess it wasn't noticeable until then. My ADHD and autism is also minor. I never really took meds for it either. I also had depression (not self-diagnosed) for a while mainly during school, because I moved around alot and that didn't really help make me friends either. But I'm over that depression now since I got done with high school 3 years ago. I have been diagnosed with anxiety a few months ago, and do take pills for it, but I haven't lately cause I've been very forgetful of taking them.

ADHD (non hyperactivity) -Adderall
Anxiety Disorder NOS - Remeron
Depression - Remeron
Insomnia - Ambien
Alcoholism - Dos Equis

Eugh, Remeron is horrible. I hate it most of the times but on rare occasion it'll feel nice and mellow, and dreams are intense on it.

I've been suffering mostly from insomnia and bipolar disorder/manic depression, though my depersonalization disorder is still intense now and again. Synesthesia in my case is sometimes a big problem, so that might classify as a mental disorder aswell (big problem when it comes to social communication, along with the depersonalzation)

i also don't think depression is a "mental illness," it seems to ALWAYS be an implication of societal conditions, akin to alcoholism.

It really depends man. Some depression is manifested in so much irrationality that it's pretty well impossible to budge. Circumstantial fo sure. But in most cases I'd say I agree.
