officially its mental disorder nowadays haha illness has too negative of a connotation its not like we are ill anyways, we just have a different way of thinking
PTSD anxiety schizo effective disorder and borderline personality disorder. Yay me! And I'm on paper too.
Eh, some social anxiety, fairly severe hypochondria, and depression is an on and off thing for me. It sucks but I feel like everyone has something they've gotta deal with like this
can you imagine if different disorders said illness instead so for example bipolar illness disassociate identity illness panic illness it just wouldn't sound right
Been diagnosed with depression, they gave me meds that didn't make me feel in any way better, even when they upped the dose. Mary Jane has and is still helping me get through the big bad world out there
all jokes aside......im pretty fucked up. but i dont bother talking to anyone to get diagnosed cause i don't like therapists. i know what they say to try to fix shit and it doesn't work. i probably should deal with it and get put on disability while im going through college so i wont have to work too bwhahaahaha
i have a depersonalization disorder anxiety disorder BPD PTSD and now my doctor is considering that i might be bipolar in the past i've been diagnosed some other things which i am not sure still apply so it's good to see other people have those too as well as other interesting disorders i am only taking prn klonopin so my mental health is interesting lately, to say the least i really am torn between my belief that i shouldn't take medications unless absolutely necessary and getting so distressed that i'd do anything to get better so i'm going to try it again after many failed attempts
normally i think your posts are pretty cool but that kind of attitude pisses me off and it's because i know so many people who genuinely struggle just to get through another day, who cannot function in society very well, and actually need help...and can't get it and then there's people who think that they can just exploit any disorder in order to be lazy bitch plz lol
I developed Spastic Cerebral Palsy due to bleeding in my brain when I was born. As a result, I have a learning disability in math and some areas of science. My right side of my body is much more functional than my left, my left hand is basically a "helper hand". Except as far as visual perception my left is 20/40 while my right is 20/200. My vocal cords tend to tighten as well, making it difficult to speak without stammering, but it's only really noticeable in high anxiety situations.
[quote name='"MariaJuana92"'] that must be difficult so what kind of adaptive things do you use in order to perform daily tasks[/quote] Oh yeah, I also walk with a limp cause my right leg is longer than my left. Fortunately though, I really only have to adapt when speaking. Like if words catch in my throat, I can't just force em out, I have to speak slower. And as a result, I'm incredibly self conscious. I feel like often when I involuntarily freeze up cause my words catch, that people think I'm mentally challenged, or feel uncomfortable around me.
