Mental Stuff
« on: April 03, 2014, 11:37:41 pm »

So, I got ADD, Anxiety, and depression.


What do you guys have?

And please try to keep this from being a "I have a more serious issue, PAY ATTENTION TO ME!" thread.

I have depression, and an irrational fear of vampires. It's odd.

Tourette Syndrome.

If you have to have a brain disease, I'd highly recommend it. Better than most (and more entertaining).

Oh, I also have this weird muscle spasm, but I'm still getting it checked so not sure if neurological or physical cause.

I have absolutely no idea because I've barely seen a family practitioner in the past decade, much less a shrink or counselor. I'm already past my recommended daily dosage of bullshit as it is, so I suspect indulging wouldn't be healthy.

On an unrelated note, why the flying inconsistent fuck has English reached the point where "advisor" is as incorrect as "counseler"?

Are fears listed here? 'Cos I'm starting to think I might be an agoraphobe (read: hikkokimori), but I actually have an irrational fear of sleepwalkers, which amuses my friends to no end.

Agoraphobia is the big one for me. It's difficult for me to go places on my own, though it's a lot better than it used to be.

I have a whole slew of other peculiarities of course, though they're either ones that I don't feel are actually a problem, or are things I have well in hand.

Pretty much this.  I've never been diagnosed with any sort of mental disorder, and have no reason to suspect that I have any.

More mundanely, I have pretty serious acrophobia.  I used to have arachnophobia, but I got over that for the most part years ago.

Depression and ADHD.

The depression ain't so bad these days. The ADHD is still pretty horrible though.

Over the last few years I've pretty much turned into a recluse. As a result crowds and strangers are a bit daunting especially when alone. I think it's something I could overcome. I might be considered a hikikomori if it wasn't for my job.

I don't think I have any mental or permanent physical illnesses but I have a crippling fear of roller coasters and centipedes

What about a roller coaster made to look like a centipede?
...That would actually sound like something that someone would make.

I am diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, but since this is the internet and every Tom, Dick, and Harry has it, I also have a pretty big fear of spiders.

Why is it that google throws up images of your fear when you search it up? That is so stupid.

Didn't we already have one of these?

I have depression, though it's actually under control these days. And I'm also a sorta late diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic.

And while it's not exactly on the same scale, I also do have a rather intense fear of scorpions. Thanks to a kinda really bad encounter with one when I was younger.

I'm attempting to work on something that should take an hour. It's currently 12:45 PM.


I expect to finish somewhere around 2 AM.


ADHD is wonderful. By which I mean fucking horrible.
