|
Re: Do you have a mental illness?
Yep. I have been diagnosed. :|
|
Re: Do you have a mental illness?
I'm getting a timetable next week for classes to help me with my depression, plus I'm still suffering from Anxiety.
|
Re: Do you have a mental illness?
i havent be diagnosed but i think i am bi polar
and have depression. |
Re: Do you have a mental illness?
I haven't been diagnosed but it wouldn't shock me if I had social anxiety.
|
Re: Do you have a mental illness?
I was diagnosed when I was 9 with a mild case of Tourettes Syndrome and again when I was 14 and it is back again. Not fun.
I have been made fun of my whole life from it. Because I use to clear my throat constantly, then i would blink hard, and now I twitch a lot. I have learned to get through life with it. I can't control what happens. I just have to live with it. I always believe (and so do my friends) I have depression, but I wont get diagnosed. |
Re: Do you have a mental illness?
Yup. Depression & Anxiety.
But they're thinking it could be Borderline Personality :/ |
Re: Do you have a mental illness?
Well, I've been diagnosed with depression, and I think I have an anxiety disorder, too, but I'm looking into help with that one. I'll just have to see what my psychologist says.
So I put yes, but if I could vote again, then I'd put a "I think", too. |
Re: Do you have a mental illness?
i think i have depression and PSTD...
|
Re: Do you have a mental illness?
I've only been diagnosed with Social Anxiety Disorder, but I strongly suspect I have others.
|
Re: Do you have a mental illness?
Well, I have been diagnosed as having a depression, but not very strong. They hesitated, but didn't diagnose me as having Autisme Spectrum. My psychologist said me he's nearly shure that I have it. Beside, he said me (not long time ago) that I have the elements of Dissociative Personality Disorder / Multiple Personality Disorder, but there are no trauma's clearly involved, so it's probably a combination of MPD and Autisem Spectrum.
|
Re: Do you have a mental illness?
I've never been tested, but I've dealt with depression and suicidal thoughts so if I were to get tested and it came up negative for depression I would be very surprised.
|
Re: Do you have a mental illness?
When I was 15 I was diagnosed with Chronic Depression, and when I was 16 that diagnosis changed to Mood Disorder NOS because I fit into Bipolar I and II.
|
Re: Do you have a mental illness?

(sorry about the bad spelling in this thread i can't spell as good as i use to)
|
Re: Do you have a mental illness?
i have not been diagnosed and do not feel i have depression.
I think everybody has there downer times and some just are longer than others. Unfortunately my times would be in the longer spectrum |
Re: Do you have a mental illness?
I honestly don't think that I need a person with a BA or whatever to tell me yes or no you do or don't have this or that illness. I've studied psychology a lot and I'm positive I do.
|
Re: Do you have a mental illness?
I think I have depression, anxiety, and maybe some form of delusional disorder.
I don't know, though. :( |
Re: Do you have a mental illness?
Some kind of anxiety/panic disorder, but it's relatively mild. I'm learning to manage the symptoms with breathing and thinking techniques. For a while I was seeing a therapistperson but I'm on my own now - I've had public breakdowns and stuff for years and it tends to happen in new situations, so I just have to control them when they come up. It's always a battle. Whatever. I'm constantly getting it under control.

Re: Do you have a mental illness?
I'm farely positive I have a mental illness, but I've never actually been diagnosed with one.
|
Re: Do you have a mental illness?
Have you had a mental illness?
Yes. Have you faced any discrimination for being mentally ill? Yes, from a teacher in high school. Are there any positive things you have learned from having a mental illness? Very many. |
Re: Do you have a mental illness?
Was diagnosed with GAD a while back, don't know if that counts now.. I am feeling different about it now anyway.
|
Re: Do you have a mental illness?
I have a pretty good chance of having Bipolar II, Borderline Personality Disorder, and Social Anxiety Disorder. But I can't go to a doctor, long story. I've done research after having the prospects suggested to me by an online friend with BP2 and BPD who said that her and I are alot alike, with our reactions, thoughts, feelings, etc., etc. I went for another opinion to another close friend and he agreed. :/
|
Re: Do you have a mental illness?
I have bipolar type 2 and OCD. Maybe anxiety so I went yes
|
Re: Do you have a mental illness?
I have been diagnosed with undifferentiated schizophrenia.

Thought we could share...
[Edit by Katrina: I'm merging your thread with the already existing sticky titled "Do you have a mental illness?" which basically exists for the same purpose.] Dunno if anyone wants to, and there may be a post for this already and I apologize if there is, but I thought it'd be cool to see what mental "disfunctions" or whatever people have. I include ED's, SH, etc. I'll start:
I have... Depression PTSD Anxiety Migraine Headaches Severe concentration and focus problems Borderline Anorexia (overcoming this finally!) That's all I can think of. Please share! |
Re: Thought we could share...
Grasshopper, PTSD is an extreme form of Anxiety disorder...depression comes with it too in most cases.
Even so, that's a lot to deal with. =/ You're welcome to PM me anytime if you would like someone to talk to who will listen. It's very likely I had Social Anxiety Disorder, I'm trying to find somewhere I can get an appointment so I can be diagnosed formally. I've had clinical depression in the past, I've come a long way since then. |
Re: Do you have a mental illness?
Compassionate Soul...
I figured they were at least in the same range, if not diagnosed together. However, my psychologist always separates them, so I did. Thanks for the offer. I may take you up on that. -Grasshopper |
Re: Do you have a mental illness?
self diagnosed with: Bipolar II, (Social)Anxiety, PTSD, Seasonal Affective Disorder, and maybe GAD and Borderline. I'm a mess..
I need the official diagnosis, three months to go, yay. |

Re: Do you have a mental illness?
yeah, i know, but i just had to do some research to get some idea on what's going on with me, and i have symptoms of those i wrote, but as i said, i need the official diagnosis from the professional, this is just cheap guessing, it means nothing.
and that's not mean, that's honest :) |
Re: Do you have a mental illness?
I'm glad you don't find it mean. Just that a fair few mental illnesses have overlapping symptoms as well. Like, pretty much everything you said could JUST be PTSD, instead of being PTSD with a cluster of other things, and BPD has a bunch of similar symptoms to BP2, SAD could explain why you feel BP2, and so on, so forth. Maybe when you see your doctor, make sure to talk about your feelings, and try to avoid them catching on that you've done your own research, or else they may think you're exaggerating, or looking for drugs. Trust me, talking about your feelings, and saying how you feel concerned about your mental well-being will get you further than saying "I searched Wikipedia and found I may have this, that, and the other". You know? :)

Re: Do you have a mental illness?
i voted yes i have a mental ilness
|
Re: Do you have a mental illness?
I voted yes because I have been diagnosed with at least 1 mental illness and I personally think I may have a few others as well :?
|
Re: Do you have a mental illness?
I am fairly sure that I have bi-polar type 2.
|
Re: Do you have a mental illness?
I voted that I think I have a mental illness but have not been diagnosed. I'll explain.
Everytime I eat something, I sometimes have to chew it alot and have a hard time swallowing, like I can't swallow, I have to force myself to and I have a fear of choking on it if I do swallow it at certain times. I do swallow my food though, it just takes me longer to eat it. I told a friend, she had the same problem, and her doctor told her it's all in your head so that's what I try to believe. I've never asked a doctor about it personally but maybe I'll bring it up one day. Also, I worry needlessly about irrational things. I worry about people messing with my stuff in my room or doing something, or something breaking and such things, but I've really been working on that and training my mind not to do that, not to worry, and I've been having a good effect with it so far. It's been successful. :) |
Re: Do you have a mental illness?
Yes. Depression. Everyone I have confided in has made used it against me in some way. Mostly my parents.
|
Re: Do you have a mental illness?
Yep, Depression (And Boderline personality disorder Apparently according to a pcycologist I have never seen before in my life. I think she had the wrong room at the hospital.)
|
Re: Do you have a mental illness?
Yup, depression and Borderline Personality Disorder as of yesterday :\
And yeah, tons of people say stuff about it and it sucks. |
