What is your Diagnosis?

[Inignem]

Life is not a pain contest. I have no desire to one-up your pain.

Get therapy and pain medication. srsly.

I take fluoxetine and pinaverium.

And yes life is a pain contest.

 

[Mexxy]

I'm not sure. My parents took me to a psychiatrist when I was a a wee little lad, but I'm ptetty sure I was just mocking other people's ailments to get more medication to put up my nose.

Ive had this terrible habit of putting stuff up my nose...

I'm my own doctor at this point.

No, I WILL GIVE ***YOU*** THE DRUGSSSS >;3

Mentally:

Severe Depression

Really? You always seem so upbeat on the forums.
Not spreading a negative, pessimistic atmosphere around the place... *cough*

The depression has really improved over the last few years, but there was a point a few years back where I was institutionalized twice for attempted suicides.Oddly enough,I improved when I stopped taking my meds.

 

[Mexxy]

That's Western medication for you.

"No, just pump her full of this drug. She'll be FINE."

Depression sucks, Ive had random bouts of weird crap happening to my brain where all the sudden it was like all the dopamine just got flushed out all at once.

Yeah there's SSRI's and MAOI's (not for me) and opioids and benzodiazapines but when you get down to it, there's probably a reason or two behind the depression and you could probably un-fuck yourself better without medication than you could *with* it...

Well, that's good to hear.

just today I discovered I had a very mild case of Cutis verticis gyrata, witch is a scalp condition that forms ridges on the head: http://i.imgur.com/bdpU80t.jpg <- my head!

I also have ADHD, and was diagnosed with mood swings and depression, but the mood swings was a side effect of the ADHD medication (stimulants) and the depression was side effect of the mood stabilizer for the mood swings.

so I basicly said "screw your meds, Im dealing with this my self" and ever since I never felt happier

[Cchytale Murilega]

Well all I know is I was diagnosed with Aspergers when I was eight.

I also have slight scoliosis.

I have eczema, which is an annoying as fuck skin condition thing; has the areas around my sides of my nose get inflamed and itchy. I also have psoriasis dermatitis or seborrhea or whatever, which is another similar skin thing, but with my scalp.

I don't know of anything else that I might have other than those three... I feel I have social anxiety, a bit of a learning disability and mood swings. But those aren't official, just things I feel I have.

 

[zanian]

Chronic migraine; not much else to say.

 

[Kit H. Ruppell]

If we're going to list non-psychological diagnoses now, I have nothing noteworthy.
There was a period while I was having some arythmia during sparring in Taekwondo, and testicular torsion another time with no explanation.

 

[Alexxx-Returns]

Of course, how could I forget being diagnosed with Asperger's at the age of 10? Some professional came into the school and did some test and that was the result, apparently. I resisted this for the next 9 years until I went to see another specialist at the age of 19 who said I definitely didn't have Asperger's. I was pretty happy about this because that label had taken over my life before. It was all anyone cared about.

So I guess that's a diagnosis-not diagnosis, but just a little story.

 

[Volkodav]

Social Anxiety Disorder, Depression, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

I'm as healthy as can be!

This is kind of a dick thing to say. It implies that those of us with disorders are unhealthy and kind of that it's something that can be cured or fixed like the common cold.

 

[sniperfreak223]

Well, that's good to hear.

It does have it's downsides though, my songwriting has really suffered as my depression has improved, apparently I need to be either really depressed or really pissed off to be creative.

 

[dialup]

ADD, severe depression, anxiety, and I have a narrow urethra (I tell you hwhat).

I also had a scare where my doctor found precancerous cells in my cervix and thought I was developing cervical cancer. Thank god it cleared itself up and didn't develop further.

 

[Crystal_the_Vixen]

My mental issues are caused by my brain chemistry & my fucked up shitty ass childhood & tween years.
My past causes alot of issues in the present, trying to think differently about how people are is hard.
It's like instinct for me to be really suspicious & have huge trust issues, because that has always protected me in the past.
But now that I'm around good people, my instinct causes major issues.
People tell me to move on, but this instinct is so wired in my brain.
But I'm getting better everyday with baby steps.

Its good to trust, but its better to not trust.

Trust is something people have to earn. but you still shouldn't distrust people immediately.

 

[DeCatt]

I have a minor eye problem, besides that I only have very mild self-diagnosed OCD and a really shitty case of acne.
Does furry count as a social disorder? If so, then 3rd degree furfaggotry. :V

 

[Troj]

What would be the point of life being a pain contest? First prize is pain. Second prize is slightly less pain. Third prize is slightly-less pain.

Oh, goody. I can take that to the bank!

I have the same problem. My best drawing is one that I drew when I was having a bad day. I't just a really depressed looking anthro tiger, but somehow it managed to be my best drawing to date.

 

[Kit H. Ruppell]

Forgot something.
I had surgery for mild strabismus at age 5, eliminating the need for glasses. Being expelled from one preschool for dealing with bullies my way was enough.
My arches are pretty bad, and my ankles snap all the time.
One psychiatrist suggested the 'possibility' of obsessive personality disorder, but I don't quite feel it.

 

[Batty Krueger]

I have chronic kidney disease and migraines. Aside from some other common conditions thats it for me.

 

[Carnau]

Schizophrenia. I wouldn't say I'm suffering from it.. It took years and a lot of mental power to even begin to cope with it, but I'm doing much better now. I'm considered high functioning these days so no supervision is needed.

 

[Kitsune Cross]

I'm going to see a psychiatrist tomorrow, for a bit more of a year I been feeling really good but after a sudden flashback to my past I been feeling terrible, I'm pretty sure there is something really fucked up with me

 

[Symlus]

Dermatograpia, which basically means that my skin will swell from minor scratches and very, very light trama (imagine bumping into someone.)

And chronic bronchitis.
