Do you have a disorder?

[Ehingen Guy]

I'v been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome when I was younger, but I'm not autistic. I do have a muscle coordination disorder (one hand mimics the other hand's movements, without me wanting to), though. And I have terrible balance.

I' I'm wouldn't say I'm violent towards other living creatures, but I have broken and smashed things on occasion because sometimes I honestly feel like I cannot help myself. I felt really stupid today. I was going through a kitchen cupboard, and this small box fell out twice. It wouldn't stay on the shelf, and when it fell for the third time I smashed it where it fell before forcefully stuffing it back into the cupboard. I was so relieved that it didn't fall back out. I feel really silly about it now that I think about it. No one was around to see it though, so I'm thankful for that.

i have the exact same issue. but i'm still a teenager so... i'm not going to promise you that it's normal, but i think it is. i don't know how old you are though, probably older. but yeah even if it's not a big concern i think you should go unless you're not comfortable enough to & i'm glad you have more freedom

the only disorder i think i have is sleep paralysis? ._.

and i think it may doesn't even count at all as a disorder so...*shrugs*

Age isn't always the issue. I just think it's more common for teenagers to have issues, but that doesn't mean it's just a phase. I'm not very old either, only 19, so it's possible that it's just some sort of really long hormonal rage. But given my current life situation and environment, even I can agree with my family that I probably shouldn't get as angry as I do at times. And thankfully I have enough self control that when I allow myself to act like an idiot because of my anger, I do so in private. I have saved myself a lot of embarrassment, but I have still acted very poorly in front of my family. I often raise my voice, scream, and use extremely foul language when I'm angry at home. But it's the only place I can really vent and let loose comfortably.

Sleep paralysis has always sounded so terrifying though. I pray I never experience it.

that is some intense **** right there man, i've had friends who've had that and my god the stories sound horrendous.

I have multiple disorders but I would rather not talk about them because I don't romanticize having mental disabilities unlike a lot of people I know

 

[lostineverfreeforest]

Nope, and if I ain't lying I'm very glad. Having a friend who has lost the genetic lottery and helping her cope is an exhausting burden at times, but I'm still glad she's a good friend. And seeing what it has turned people in this very community into (though they have for the most part really calmed down since then) it's good to see it getting better for others too. Wouldn't wish mental illness on even my worst enemies. If you have issues, get professional help. It's not a battle you need to fight alone.

 

[Frostbite2002]

Wooooo I'm like the first person here who have said they have an eating disorder... I'm quite glad of that actually. I'm still not at a recovered, in fact I'm in a bad place right now with it. I have been diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa and Depression (no I didn't take some stupid test online and act like its an actual diagnosis, I got this information from professionals.) I hope everyone is having a good day today, and if they aren't, tomorrow is another day! I hope everyone knows its okay to talk about their feelings sometimes, and that they should seek help if they need it!

Oh dear Lord, I had that as a kid and it was horrifying. It definitely is a disorder, please keep an eye on it and be safe!

I find the mere thought of that to be terrifying! I hope you are able to deal with it well! ^_^ I've never experienced it myself, and I don't want to!

severe paranoia (which has been getting better)

That's good! I don't think I have paranoia, but sometimes I get really nervous. Whether I'm in a room crowded with strangers, or walking on the sidewalk all by myself. People are scary, and so is a lot of the world. Trust no one.

yea i'm like a total germaphobe so i get really freaked out if i think i 'touched something' that could initially get me sick or hurt me later, and i get paranoid over a lot of other things (where my relationships with people stand, etc) it gets super annoying sometimes. and yeah i totally get you, i get tons of anxiety when i'm in a room with a lot of people (even if i know them or not) but like only when i have to go up in front of everyone and announce something or present a project or something. sometimes i just leave the classroom or whatever because i literally would prob have a stroke right then and there loool..

but yea i totally get you, and you're right, trust no one because there's wayyyy too many snakes out there

 

[DoctorGallifrey]

I've been diagnosed with General Anxiety Disorder and with depression.

 

[Mariah]

I've been diagnosed with things I don't even have. Psychiatrists love to push medicine on you for no reason.

 

[nintendofan85]

I believe I have OCD.

 

[acmohn]

I have not been diagnosed of anything, but sometimes I wonder. I've done some very questionable things, and thought even more questionable thoughts. I'm also extremely forgetful, and I also cannot help but pick at things. My hands almost always need something to occupy them, which leads to me picking at things. I hate leaving scabs alone, sometimes I pick my lips bloody when they are chapped, and I often pick at my scalp even when there is nothing to pick at there. And I won't even get started on how angry I am irl. My family thinks I have some serious anger issues, but I keep all of my problems at home. So, I don't think there's anything really wrong with me except that I'm a nervous and angry person who can't handle many situations very well. I don't think any of my problems are serious enough to go to a doctor for, but they're noticeable to myself and others.

im the exact same way, my thumbnails/cuticles are always bloody and scabbed and i bite at my cheeks and lips. it's something to distract myself with.

 

[acmohn]

also to add to my previous statement, i have a really bad habit of picking at my acne/skin. if i have a zit i'll pop it and pick at the scab, which in turn leaves acne scars (which i hate).

 

[Mega_Cabbage]

I've only been tested for depression, which I don't have. I've always wondered if I had autism or if its just in my general personality to have autism like symptoms (being shy, not being empathetic, being fidgety when sitting still or bored). It's not too much of a problem to where I would need to get tested and receive medication though.

 

[Metal Scorpion]

Depression and severe social anxiety are a couple disorders that I have.
