Do you have a disorder?

[KaydeeKrunk]

Depression, Anxiety, and ADD for sure, those have been diagnosed. It used to be ADHD but it's since calmed down and the H only comes out if I get riled up... I feel like a lot of my ADHD tendencies are more leaning towards something on the autism spectrum, but when I went to a therapist which was years and years ago now, it was when they decided to call everything ADHD and put all the kids on drugs, thankfully I yelled at my mom because I refused to take medication. I'm sure I have more disorders, I know for sure I have severe social based anxiety mixed with claustrophobia which makes doing a lot of things a super fun experience. When I was diagnosed I pretty much kept everything pent up and hidden, it wasn't a part of my life where I was seeking help but was forced into therapy because I had been outed as a self-harmer, so most of my problems I didn't discuss and thus are just inside me waiting to be diagnosed.

 

[MOON TRIPS]

been diagnosed with GAD, ADD, depression, and I'm on the autism spectrum. uhhhhhhhh. yeah life sure is great! :')

 

[Genjis-Mercy]

I have depression, anxiety, claustorophobia, agorophobia, ptsd (not like the kind of war stuff, this was an incident when I was younger), autism, adhd, and I suffer from derealization. I dont know if this classes but I refuse to eat more than one meal a day and thats at dinner time, I'm just afraid to puke and I don't like to eat much because I'm fat and I don't like to be.

depression, two anxiety disorders, asd and a dissociative disorder (not specified). talking abt trauma w/ my therapist and i might have ptsd tho this hasnt been diagnosed.

also ppl need to chill abt others disorders,, it's not a competition and it is ****ty to brag about them but it is also no other persons business or place to judge if someone is lying or w/e

 

[idiotdoomspiral]

but it is also no other persons business or place to judge if someone is lying or w/e

lying about disorders is watching people physically and mentally suffer and you go "haha hey **** those stupid little low-lives i wanna be like them but not really, only for attention and sympathy"

 

[Psydye]

I have been diagnosed w/ Asperger's, some years ago, I think?!

yeah and it is ****ty to do it, but it is not easy to know whos "faking" and who isnt. and it is usually not other ppls business what disorders or symptoms of these disorders people have, people shouldnt have to prove to ppl that they actually have that disorder. imo the whole thing about finding fakers is kinda weird because, sure, faking is bad and can be hurtful to the communities but accusing people of faking is also Not That Great.
i think that if someone thinks someone else is fakingvthey should just avoid that person and not confront them and make them prove stuff

that being said people who DO fake stuff for sympathy and attention are kinda bad and hurtful and should rly stop.

I was diagnosed with depression when I was 9, OCD at 15, and I just stopped taking meds this year (I'm 21). But I saw a new therapist about a year ago and he doesn't think I have those. Honestly I don't know and I forget that I was diagnosed with them honestly

 

[kindheartedhog]

Major depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, gender dysphoria, borderline personality disorder

All prof diagnosed of course, I really don't believe in self-diagnosis or taking some test online to determine an illness you have

 

[Antonio]

Not really sure if i do, does depression count? If so then yeah, i do.

 

[bigfootsboyfriend]

i have Way Too Many to feasibly talk about in a forum post here, especially since there is a current discussion about faking right now and i know just by the sheer amount of what i have being accused of faking is inevitable. basically though, im Pretty Messed Up

something to keep in mind: if someone genuinely feels the need to go so far as to fake a mental illness for attention, theyre probably mentally ill. there are quite a few of disorders in which attention seeking is one of the primary symptoms, and to go as far as to pretend to have a severe mental illness is definitely well-within the lines of a therapist investigating.
also, even if someone were to say outloud that they are/were faking a disorder, its impossible to actually know whether or not theyre faking because you dont know exactly how they feel or whats in their head. and in the end, calling someone a faker isnt going to help you, them, or anyone else in the community, itll be a short burst of satisfaction for you and possibly a life-ruining event for the accused, especially if youre wrong.

im trying to stay out of disagreements/arguments on here, but i felt it was important to speak up here. ive been accused of faking my disorders and lying since i was a tiny tot, and it psychologically damaged me. i would hate to see anyone go through that.

 

[Xerolin]

I've never been officially diagnosed, as my dad won't believe me, but I'm sure I have ASD and depression.

 

[papyrus]

depression & anxiety disorder, but I make do and try to live my life to the fullest, I have good & bad days.

 

[abbydoll]

I was diagnosed with depression when I was 13, I think. I was going through some things that I won't get into. They sent me to counseling, but it didn't help, so they prescribed me anti-depressants and they seem to help to some extent. ~

I also struggled with an eating disorder around that same time, even though I wouldn't of admitted it back then. But looking back, I definitely had something wrong with me. I never ate and I always worried about getting fat. But now I am healthy and at a normal weight, though I still worry about gaining weight to this day. :c

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)

It truly is one of the many things I struggle with every single day of my life.

Panic Disorder, I suffer from Panic attacks a lot during the night and I feel like taking stress relief. I have really bad anxiety.

 

[brickwall81]

I have been diagnosed with Major depressive disorder, Generalized Anxiety disorder, Social Anxiety disorder and Temporomandibular Joint Disorder.

 

[chibibunnyx]

I have depression & anxiety, panic disorder as well but it's been a very long time since I had a bad panic attack, I've been able to manage those with therapy.

 

[okaimii]

A few years ago I was diagnosed with clinical depression, anxiety and ADHD. They're under control now but it was really bad before.

 

[Nightmares]

Noo I'm lucky enough not to have any problems like that...

I have been told numerous times that I'm anorexic or something which really pisses me off, but it sure ain't true, fortunately
I'm just naturally small / skinny. And yeah I suppose I hardly eat anything but that's because it saves money and....I can't really be bothered...rip

Like OP, I have dermatillomania, though with the added part of trichtillomania. It's part of having obsessive-compulsive disorder, social anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder. I'm also addicted to the internet, and I don't mean that as a joke, I'm online 18 hours of the day (when I'm not working 4 of those hours) and barely sleep because of severe physical pain (from Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome). I have a learning disability that has not yet been diagnosed, but I have a lot of issues when it comes to reading and comprehension (of both written words and spoken words). My head's always in a 'haze', and a lot of the time I don't know what's going on.

My anxiety disorder has gotten a lot better over the years. I used to burst into tears after talking to people, or while still talking to them face to face because I used to be just so scared of what was going through their mind looking at me and talking to me like that. I'm still very sensitive and afraid of people but I don't cry as often.
