This. For my Autism I'm sick and tired of people saying stuff like "Do you suffer with Autism?" or calling it a "disease". People like that think they're way above anyone.

Just for that reason they changed it from roughly translated "Mental Illness" to "Mental Phenomena(?)" here in Sweden. So psychiatrist dont disrespect anyone.

Well, they call stuff you're born with disability here in Canada, which I get kind of annoyed at. Another thing I get annoyed at is when I go to a disability organization for groups, the staff don't treat us like normal people. Some of them I've quit for that reason. Also the fact that it's called disability where I'm from, I don't really feel comfortable disclosing about it with my school friends.

As far as I know I don't have any mental disorders. Although I've always been a very anxious person and worry about everything. So I've always thought I may have an anxiety disorder, but not bad enough to the point that I feel the need to be medicated.

Re: How many here have a Mental Illness?

I've never really gotten around to actually checking in with a psychotherapist or any of the sort. So, I don't know.

I've been having these recurrences where I sit in my computer chair in the dark for almost all day for at least a week of every month or two; playing a plethora of ambient music while having suicidal thoughts. Makes me feel uneasy just by the thought of going through it again.

I was diagnosed with Aspergers in 2001, does that count?

Re: How many here have a Mental Illness?

Haven't been checked, but I wonder sometimes. lol.
They tried to put me in special ed when I was first starting school. Glad they didn't.

Re: How many here have a Mental Illness?

Mental illnesses are inferred from behavior, called into existence artificially. They only are names to refer to certain behaviour types that psychologists see in people. They don't actually exist.

(This is true for everything)
Yes, but especially so for something that is made up by people in the first place.

Hahaha funny joke

Oh wait.

No.

Re: How many here have a Mental Illness?

I have extreme anxiety, and "vertigo" as the doc keeps saying. They put me on lorazepam & meclizine for each. When I was younger I had adhd. I think everyone has some sort of medical thing or another. Nobody's going to be "perfect."

Sorry for replying to this thread late, seeing as how its within the same month, not too big a deal? If there is a prob what's an acceptable time-frame to properly reply to a thread?

Re: How many here have a Mental Illness?

i would consider vertigo something you experience, not something that you're diagnosed with lmao
