| Nope, none that i'm aware of anyway. I do get anxious about things quite often, but not to a debilitating degree. I wouldn't go as far as to call it an anxiety disorder. |
| Been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, and ADD. Which really cultivate into a beautiful result. I suspect there is others but I can't be bothered. |

At the end of the month that should change though if everything goes well. But it did have its one benefit which was being able to go to the service center for a psych evaluation. The big problem was that there were so many patient they just kept prescribing me meds to get me to go away which led me with different medication combinations. I gave up on getting therapy there since it was so shit but that's what I get for relying on the California government. @traed Bipolar II so my manic episodes should be shorter than my depressive episodes. And I don't even know what they put me on. Some of the anti psychotics though made my Bipolar anger so much worse while the mood stabilizer I was one was going to kill me. You ever look into the various types of affordable housing I brought up in the thread you made about being homeless? How could you not know? Were you at an inpatient clinic and given your meds in a plastic cup? Had you been given lithium the following should have been brought up -maintaining same salt intake -maintaining same caffeine intake -regular blood work -if failed other medication |

Not that I could name the medications they put me on, lol their names were pretty long. |

| There's a lot wrong with me. I've been diagnosed with ADHD but my last psychiatrist seems pretty convinced that I have Asperger's. I'm pretty sure I suffer from an anxiety disorder, as well. |

| uh, i hope not? i'm not really sure, i actually don't really know the mental state of most my family anyways apart from my aunt who suffers from alzheimer's. |

| I was once suicidal due to depression, but I have never been diagnosed because I heard going to psychiatrist was expensive and I didn't know where to find them here. So I didn't really know what I had been through. It passed already, I guess. I still think negatively sometimes, but I can get rid of it immediately nowadays. Taking a deep breath, moving and laughing are enough. |

| If haven't gone to see anyone properly myself and I don't plan to until I'm 18 and living away from my father's house. Most diagnosis needs to be of a certain age or they won't even consider some mental disorders, and I want to go somewhere that has a proper specialist that will actually do their job instead of random "assuming". Diagnoses need much more than just a couple physical observations. Brain scans are actually really beneficial to help with diagnosis. I probably have BPD or something related, but it's difficult to control whatever it is long-term since they're not really a choice. Apparently, I have minor Asperger's and Dyspraxia and have officially been diagnosed with them. Although I feel as if I was misdiagnosed just because I was very mute and found everything so embarrassing to the point that I would intentionally mess up and hide things. |

| I probably have some kind of social anxiety, but I was never diagnosted, because I never went to psychiatrist, because of the said probable social anxiety. |
| Diagnosed with depression. Only thing I'm diagnosed with, but I'm probably fucke din the head in some other ways too. |
 |
| I keep coming back to this forum. That's got to count for something, right? Seriously though, when I was younger, might have been almost 10 years ago now, I took anti-depressants because of how I was having trouble dealing with a life-long medical condition (which I have under perfect control now). I don't think they helped, and from what I've read / heard from others, they give placebos to most people the first time anyway. I also used to get serious paranoia issues from smoking too much weed. But only sometimes. It would be fine for months and then really bad for a few weeks and repeat like that. [EDIT: I quit all drugs including alcohol and tobacco about three years ago. I'm no fun at parties...] Nowadays I'm sure there's something "wrong" with me, but my attitude to mental illness is that if you're happy then why care. I wouldn't want to be normal anyway. |

| I haven't been officially diagnosed (can't gather enough info and courage to find a decent specialist, like - not religious, not discriminating, not nuts, progressive), but I am a textbook example of heavy depression. Most likely I also have PTSD, anxiety, and, I think, there's some developmental issue as well. |
FlowersInTheRain said: Maybe, but I wasn't the one that chose to go; it was my mother that sent me, and I was unsure what status they even had because it was in our local hospital. I don't even think they were a psychiatrist and I only met up with those random people about once. They must've been paediatrics.Bunille said: If haven't gone to see anyone properly myself and I don't plan to until I'm 18 and living away from my father's house.

Well at least you know that it was your own fault that you got misdiagnosed. You’ve clearly been giving this a lot of thought. Will you go back and give it another try? My mother's a bit too overprotective, but it's not like I dislike that. Who knows; I may have them, but I don't think so. Nobody even seems to recognise. The two actually share a bit with BPD, but that's not the reason why I think I have it. I've thought I had it for years and nothing else really gets near to what I do. And like I said, I'll wait another 5 months and do it properly. Ngl, now would be much better, but I'd rather not involve my parents and want to step out from their roof before I do it... but then I'd have to wait 8 months. |

| i didn't check any of my mental illness but i believe i had Asperger's when i was a child but now i'm okay tho as adults, and PTSD due childhood-bad environment. |

| I have major depressive disorder and anxiety and have had it for most of my life. As I am older now I have gotten pretty good at managing it with meds and other types of exercises than when I was younger. I have tried going to multiple therapists as well because meds and therapy are supposed to be better together but it just did not work for me. |

FlowersInTheRain said: Seems to be a lot of females in this thread. I’m wondering why that is because usually females have an extensive support network and are more likely to talk to others about their feelings and their troubles. I think that's why. Women are probably more open about talking about mental illness so that's why there is alot of us sharing. |

| When I first starting going through puberty I got hit badly with bipolar, but after getting diagnosed and getting medication Im pretty much better, it never "goes away" but i barely ever have a manic or depressive episode anymore, plus getting counselling on CAHMS has stopped my from self harming during these episodes (CAHMS is far from perfect but its helped me anyways) Alpha_Tranny said: FlowersInTheRain said: Seems to be a lot of females in this thread.

Women are probably more open about talking about mental illness so that's why there is alot of us sharing. This is also why although mental illness is more common in women, men have a far higher suicide rate. Its never talked about and its easy to assume that one of the factors to such a high male suicide rate is because sadly in society when men try to talk about feeling low theyre told to "man up", you know the saying "boys dont cry?", from young age men are taught to bottle up their feelings.

Guys, don’t seek help to begin with. I don’t go to a doctor for anything unless I have no choice or my fiancée is pushing me to go. Well I never seeked for help in my teens. I was ashamed of myself 24/7 cause of myself and was alone with my problems. But that's not good. I mean, everyone can do what he wants. But you will suffer hard in an state of isolation. Especially if you're a moron without knowledge about what's going on inside of you like I was back then. I'm absolutely glad that I survived and received help. |
| @Seijatachiiii That's really good medications and counselling are helping you. Especially since you are so young getting it under control now will save you alot of headache later. |

Well I’m glad that you are okay Fancy J 😁 Haha thanks :) I think i've done pretty well for myself considering some pretty terrible things i went through at a young age. I must just be stronger mentally than i give myself credit for. |
| @FlowersInTheRain Thanks, but I probably won’t show it. I usually speak from scratch, anyway. My parents in that situation would still consider me an oddity to get benefits off of. She was given money for my conditions, but none of it went towards me. And I’m unsure whether or not it’s a mental disorder (most probably not in my relation), but I’m pretty much emaciated. And no, I don’t choose to throw up and I’m not insecure about my body weight like the bunch of weird girls out there. I actually want to gain weight, but the food is so scarce that it’s impossible. I’m on the 1st percentile right now (my weight and height is a bit outdated but I’m unable to weigh myself at home anyway), so I’m pretty much the lowest of the low. I’d usually be 2, which is still bad. My last records, I was 172cm and 46kg (I want to be at least 50kg+). Weight is more recent. Ew. *cough* tall on average my age, and the average weight of a 13-year-old girl. And that’s excluding the bunch of symptoms and how weak and bony I am. Funny thing is, I look thin, but not emaciated. I might be malnutritioned. Most of the time I’m unable to eat any snacks due to either no money or none in the house, skip breakfast, and have tiny portions of lunch and dinner; lucky enough if I actually end up eating what my father can burn. I like seeing my mother because even if they’re still microwave meals, she at least cooks me real good dinners sometimes! Another physical illness goes hand-in-hand with how I get full easily and cannot eat that much (but getting full is so rare anyway because I usually only get fed a few mouthfuls in a meal. Have you seen how tiny some kids meals are at restaurants? They’re just like them and I have no choice over it). I wouldn’t usually vent about this, but I like being open and I don’t really mind what happens. I’m way too enigmatic for myself so I like to go into as much detail without it overflowing. It’s not a choice and it sucks. My friend’s there being treated with food, wishing she was my weight. I’m like please, let’s swap. I’d so rather be overweight. At least I won’t look like a rib cage and feel faint most times I do manual labour. You should see me gawk at someone eating good food. It’s funny because everyone says I look pale when I feel faint, and my parents reply with “Oh, she’s usually really pale like that.”, as if I’m no different. Pff, I’m pretty sure their first meeting with me wasn’t with a faint version of me. They can tell the difference. My parents try to undermine my problems. My family is pale yet I’m even paler, and that kind of worries me in itself. Sitting with your friend and then being the only one able to eat because they got food from their house, and good and healthy food at that, is disappointing. Especially when they won’t even share with you. To be honest, my friend withholds so much drama that I also get put into because I hang out with her. She’s done things with at least 5 guys last year, and because of it, she’s been considering me way less. We would usually at least buy each other food but now she’ll eat with another person, and I’ll just be there, not even on my phone, bored. And probably feeling shit, unable to ask her for money or to share snacks because she does it with someone else instead. She became too codependent on me last year, that I’ve kind of become too codependent on her now. I don’t have the courage to speak to someone else. |

| I hope things turn up for you guys in this thread, seriously. Mental illness is far from a joke. I believe in you guys. I’ve been diagnosed with severe anxiety/social anxiety, depression and I don’t exactly have a diagnosis for this, but my therapist and I agreed I’m definitely going through an identity crisis of some sort (leaving it there I don’t like to go into detail ) Fortunately, things have been turning up for me a bit, I finally got a therapist last year, and I was put on medication a few months ago. Of course not everything is peachy still, but since then I’ve been able to kick my self harm addiction and my suicidal thoughts have lowered a lot since then. And I haven’t been isolating myself from the world as much as I used to (wouldn’t leave my house weeks at a time) Had I answered this a year ago, I probably would have said there was no hope for me. You may not always see it, but good things can still happen to you. Love you dudes |

| Yeah... I´ve been diagnosed with depression since my late teens. Also anxiety, which I´ve had as far as I can remember. I´m on the autistic spectrum, though I just discovered too late, which messed up my social and emotional life a lot... |
| "Could you not talk with me? I'm busy breathing." |
| I am really lost in my thoughts lately and I'm pretty sure I have some type of anxiety but I'm too embarrassed to talk to a psychologist about my problems. I just feel uncomfortable. So I'm completely unaware if I indeed suffer from a mental illness or not. |
| Quite a lot of people on this thread are mentioning that they have autism (which is whatever) but I thought it was a neurological condition rather than a mental illness? If i am wrong can somebody please educate me? sorry if im being ignorant lol |
