how many disorders do YOU have? :D

[freestylemonster]

I have social anxiety disorder, depression and dependant disorder. That makes 3! And I'm currently on 3 medications taking 7 pills a day!

Beat that!

I'm just trying not to let it get to me by thinking of it as a good thing or something lol

 

[Celephaïs]

Dysthymia with an occasional mania.
SA and agora
Ocds that come and go. odd yes.
The book is still open though, I've not had good luck with meds.
The one thing that made me feel good was a legal narcotic but it made me look like I had parkinsons when paired with the anxiety.

 

[marciaX3]

confirmed diagnosis: social anxiety, major depressive, generalized anxiety...

ones that i possibly have: PTSD, OCD, suicidality (can that be considered a disorder?)

meds i have been on: zoloft, prozac, celexa, wellbutrin. none worked.

 

[freestylemonster]

I duno if suicidality can be considered a disorder, I kow that it's a symptom of some disorders though.

Too Many!! Happy Smiles yay!! I ♥ happiness. I totally am in love with the attitude of this thread, like seriously it's amazing.

Hmm. I have Aspergers, social phobia, ADHD, OCD, Panic attacks, and agoraphobia. Some a lot more severe than the others. I also get headaches like ever other day, and that is almost one of the worst things of all because it just makes everything you can do sooo limited. I know it isn't a disorder though, but it almost sucks as bad as one. I also have a lot of weird other problems, that aren't important.

For Medication right now I take - Adderall, Topamax, pexeva, trazodone, and sometimes xanax. So I take like atleast 7 pills a day, but often 8 or 9. I'm really good at swallowing them though!

 

[Ubersonic]

I have aspects of everything, so I just count them all as one. I call it Hardcore Social Anxiety.

 

[TheWall]

I have social anxiety, clinical depression, and various eating disorders.

I've never taken any type of psychiatric medication on a daily basis. They kinda freak me out.

I have aspects of everything, so I just count them all as one. I call it Hardcore Social Anxiety.

ha. I like the sound of that, Hardcore Social Anxiety.

 

[Off The Wall]

8 pills a day? damn! don't you feel drugged up all the time? I couldn't even handle being on 1 pill lol.

I have Social, General, Depression, Panic Attacks, Agoraphobia (still dont think i can spell that properly? lol)

I tried meds and lasted 4days.. i felt so drugged. i feel drugged just taking panadol lol. I get constant headaches also. so i mean i can take like 2 - 4 but if i take 6..man i feel drugged as. haha

 

[Psychedelicious]

Not really, it's only the xanax that can make me feel drugged up sometimes. But I seriously feel like I could swallow handfuls of pills at once, and that still wouldn't even fix everything. Just like grab a whole bunch and shove them all into my mouth. I can totallty picture myself doing that. I never would though lol, unless I knew it wouldn't kill me. Oh how I Wish everything came in pill form.... I'm at the point where I can't function without them though x.x.

 

[j_brown2]

^^ how you can look so normal in every pic I see from you is beyond me, I got most issues you got and those nasty headaches, I look like Iam drugged up on heroin all the time... I guess the drugs you take make the difference, coz I don't, or maybe Iam just really weird

SA,ADHD,OCD,no agorophobia anymore... that's what I call progress, I hate the way I look so body dysmorphic disorder, some personality disorders, not to sure coz not clinically diagnosed but I believe some form of mania, borderline and/or narcistic personality disorder coz I keep switching personalities way to often.

 

[Remus]

Over the years I've been diagnosed with:

SA, GAD, PD and agorophobia, of these only SA still tends to linger a little.

I also thnk I have PTSD from a childhood trauma.

meds: I've been put on propropanol, ciprilex, ciptopram, prozac and in the early days valium.

apart from valium nothing worked (and you dont wanna go down that road!)

CBT and self help books, trial and error and basically riding it out and being brave have been the things that helped me recover

 

[kayelle]

Hmm..diagnosed SA, agoraphobia, panic disorder and depression.
I think I've OCD aswell but that's undiagnosed.

Haven't taken any meds and don't plan on it...CBT, therapy, self help books, and lots of exposure. That's ma thing!

 

[gmg]

Bipolar disorder (or so my shrink thinks) in between type 1 and 2 which makes it all the more confusing that is the current diagnosis and SA
before it was social anxiety general anxiety!, dysthmia (mild depression) and depression.
I have had 3 relapses (2 hospitalisations: episode 1: psychotic depression (had suicide attempts and also major delusions, and then episode 2 was: whO THE **** KNOWS. I was in Germany and I paced up and down the psychiatric ward not been able to sleep, I might have been manic???? I know I had delusions cause i thought my BF was the reason I was in hospital as opposed to he whole immigrating to another country might have been the cause hehe lol. anyway I guess my overall diagnosis is Bipolar affective disorder either 1 or 2 not sure. onging SA as well. But this is all the medical model so dont now how much of it I believe, dont want to be put into a model.
medication: epilim,seroquel,lexapro, have taken shit loads of different meds even ones that had hallucination as a side effect that med was awesome......

 

[StonedBob]

I've been diagnosed with SA and depression. I'm taking 40mg of citalopram every day and it's quite effective against my depression.

 

[Lea]

If I mix psychical and physical disorders, it will be: Asperger syndrome, often depression which is result of it, anxiety which is of course also connected with it, some OCD which is in fact part of the AS, eating disorders which I guess are connected with OCD.
I was born with intestinal disorder I had surgery for some time ago. I also have anaemia.
Otherwise my body is quite healthy (thanks god at least for this), I am not clumsy, on the contrary I think I´m quite trained due to lot of excercise (I need moving and sport a lot, otherwise I feel frustrated. Guess I support lack of excercise much worse than other people).

 

[Lea]

I forgot to say, I´ve never taken meds yet, only Fluoxetine 1 month which I discontinued for trembling, not being able to sleep etc. I´m not really keen on chemicals, I think even if they maybe help immediately, who knows which detrimental effects they can have in the long run. I don´t want to end up with some Alzheimer or dementia, I want to be able to take care of myself in the old age (in case I get so far), because I´ll have no pension and will need to work till death (be it cleanings or so).

 

[lyricalliaisons]

I have Bipolar 1 disorder. My doctor thinks my social phobia is tied in with that, although he's wrong. If it were, my anxiety would decrease when I'm manic & increase when I'm depressive. This doesn't happen. It never gets better, despite the mania (which I luckily rarely deal with anymore since meds).

I just saw my official diagnostic chart the other day for the first time. Apparently there are like tiers of diagnoses. My main diagnosis is Bipolar 1, but the second tier is Avoidant Personality & Dependent Personality. I do agree with Avoidant personality, for the most part, but Dependent personality is DEAD wrong.

I also am fairly certain that I have Asperger's Syndrome or some other form of high functioning autism.

 

[newbie]

oh wow all this is so interesting

i guess my problems are light..

S.A, i personally think i have panic attacks but it dosn't happen often and my psychiatrist thinks i have underlying depression but i cant feel that i do...

she wanted me to go to a proper teenager psychiatrist to get a proper examination but i haven't been and not planning to go

 

[kayelle]

newbie you should go...what's stopping you from going? Honestly, I would really recommend it, I only had very mild SA and panic attacks at first too, that's how it starts for most people! I wish so much that I had told someone when I was like that and had gotten proper help, so I think that you should if your psychiatrist thinks it would help. What have you got to lose? Why wouldn't you go? It's totally up to you of course, but I would recommend it! Good luck with whatever you decide anyways!

 

[Generical]

I've always wondered whether anything really is wrong with me, either way i freaking love wasting my life!
