Do you have any mental/physical disorders/disabilities?

Anger Issues, Allergies, Red-Green Colour Blindness, Vermiphobia/Helminthophobia. I get very emotional sometimes and can be happy the next and then crash and be angry and miserable. Doctors don't care though-my experience with doctors has never been kind
 
OCD, a mild perfectionist, anger issues with certain people.
 
I recently developed depression throughout four years (it's really bad, until I found my best friend who help me get through it). I also suffer from herniated disk for about 2 years now. (It's super painful) Herniated disk is when the disk on your back is out of position(bulged) and touched one of the nerves. Thus, creates an extreme burning sensation pain from the nerve. My disk bulged is at the lower back. It effects my left leg, and I can't really walk or move much in a long period of time, or I will it be painful for me to walk. I refused to do surgery because there's only a 80% chance to be successful. 20% might not,and I probably become blind or not even to walk again.

Due to my disabilities, I am unable to participate activities in school, and I can no longer play any sports any more. (I was super athletic)

T_T I'm only seventeen.

Oh man, let's see...Autistic Spectrum Disorder, Depression, Anxiety, Asthma, OCD, Poor fine motor control, Hypothyroidism..have I missed anything out? No? Okay.

As a side note, the above might sound like someone's tried to cram an entire copy of the DSM-IV/ICD-10 manual into my brain. I think that's what might have happened, no wonder I keep getting headaches! :p
 
I was really depressed throughout high school and my first two years of college, but I feel like I've been getting better lately
 
I have ADHD-PI (where PI stands for "Predominantly Inattentive") and have had depression in the past.

It's, in a way, a sort of "paralysis" of willpower since no matter how much *I* wanted to do something, it was just too hard to even start it, let alone carry it out. Coupled with the fatigue I faced pretty much daily, it got so bad that I struggled with finishing even the simplest of tasks, including ones pertaining to self-care. In the spring of 2012, I didn't know that I had ADHD... and in trying to manage the previously mentioned things on top of college classes and then on-going family problems -- all of it led to severe depression, resulting in one of the biggest mental breakdowns I ever experienced.

But thankfully, I was diagnosed by my doctor last summer. I've been on medication for awhile now, and thanks to it, I've managed to make a complete 180 on my life. Seriously. Thanks to the medication, I know what it feels like to be motivated... a feeling I've NEVER, ever experienced in my life. And my grades in the summer classes I'm taking right now are FINALLY starting to reflect that. For the first time ever, I *actually* made a B in a university level class. The other class I'm taking is actually going *well* for a change. I'm making good grades, going to lecture, taking notes, paying attention... it's just such a moving change for me to see.

I suppose with the confidence I built from school, my social confidence went up, too. I noticed that I'm a lot more social and open to everyone now compared to how shy I used to be. Meeting new people isn't some scary, overwhelming feat anymore... I'm actually able to carry out a conversation and ENJOY my time with someone. For the very first time, I can live life to the fullest extent possible again. And I'm really loving every single minute of it. It almost makes me want to tear up a bit. :')
 
The only problem I have is re occurring skin cancer, but it isn't hard to fix, so I wouldn't consider it bad. It could be much worse :)

I had to survive a 5-year depression due to bullying alone.

I don't know why you "competing"? Why would you want to compete who's suffer depression the most?
There are different level of depression, and people have their own depression experience.
I'm sorry, that you have to suffer alone. But was the "Beat that." necessary??

I agree with Intropella, don't make suffering a competition. Instead use what happened to you to help others and learn from it. Even if it seems unfair and you feel bitter about it :)
 
Depression for about two years now. I think it might have been longer, I just started noticing two years ago. Never anything close to suicide but there was self harm. And I had nobody who really cared. I told some of my close friends and I remember one night in particular, I was really upset and hating myself (I was also not sober... which worsened it) and I just remember pulling my best friend into the bathroom to show her the two cuts on my legs i accidentally made with my nails and I just sat on the floor sobbing and she said nothing. She walked back in the other room and went back to sleep and left me alone while I was dangerous to myself. That's when I realized how alone I am.

Morbid but you guys are getting more details than anyone haha

I haven't had a really bad episode in a while. I think it also has to do with me moving 1000 miles away. I get a fresh start away from all the horrible memories. It's finally looking up. c: depression is the worst thing ive ever experienced and I don't want to go back to how I was a few months ago, digging my nails into my skin and freaking out and feeling so alone when I make more... permanent marks. If anyone is going through what I am please contact me. Nobody should go trough that ever.

Also I have a problem maintaining body temperature in high temperature weather. I fainted in Disney world once and had to quit all sports when I moved to florida. Ahh.
 
I have synesthesia, a disorder in the brain that fuses senses. There are many different forms, but mine is mostly audial/nasal to visual. Certain smells/sounds make me visualize a color, though aromas trigger it less. Notes on a piano have different colors, from the bottom: black-red-yellow-green-blue-white. Vowels also have different colors, which is easily shown in the word 'abstentiously'. Also, I perceive time visually. Each month/day of the week is a physical location with a color/personality, but that's very difficult to explain if you don't have synesthesia too. It's not a disability, persay, but I often forget that not everyone's brain does this. For instance, n 20 questions, I might ask if the word is 'Red' when I really mean if it has a stressed 'A' sound.

I have eosinophilic esophagitis which means that my immune system mistakes food for a parasite and then basically attacks my esophagus. I also have postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (but we call it POTS) and so my blood pressure drops when I stand up, and my heart goes into overdrive to compensate.

Oh my gosh, how do you digest food?! 0_0..
 
Just social anxiety and low self esteem really.
School is really hard for me, I hate having to read aloud in class or go up to the board to answer something. When I have to present something I feel really scared. In my Language Arts class we were being assigned roles to "act" out a play and I was hyperventilating because I didn't want to get a lead part. I'm really scared to even order food at a restaurant or ask for help.
My friends think I'm just trying to be cute with the way I act but I can't help it at all.
 
Born with a bad heart, for the first three months (of life) before they fixed it i never ate and looked like a skeleton.
Fun :D
