Hi! I wanted to make this thread for anyone who has or exhibits symptoms of things such as (and this is not excluded to):
Anxiety(social, general anxiety disorder, panic disorder, etc) PTSD OCD Anything on the Autism spectrum ADD ADHD Learning disabilities Sensory processing issues Bipolar Schizophrenia And anything else. (:
I myself suffer from all three anxiety disorders mentioned above, a few things on the spectrum, discalcula (sp?), ocd and sensory processing.
I want this thread to be a safe haven where you can find inspiration, support and advice. You do not necessarily have to have a mental illness, disorder or syndrome if you'd like to join to help some people. If there should be any disrespect or slurs or undermining others' problems I will warn then report if it continues.

I suffer from anxiety. I've never payed attention to which type it is specifically, I've always just known it as "anxiety". It's been so bad for the past month that I've been unable to go over to my dad's house because I always get a huge anxiety attack. It's made me feel really bad (Though I still talk to him and occasionally go out and do something with him.) It even started affecting me during the end of the school year, at one point getting so bad I had to get my dad to come pick me up. Anyway I'm done complaining for now, sorry if I bugged you.

i have panic disorder, emetophobia, social anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder i have experienced halluncinations and depersonalisation i have been in hospital twice for my mental illnesses and i am currently taking prozac
i also used to take propranolol, ranitidine and promethazine along with prozac but that was when i was at my worst and nearly got detained under the mental health act i've been restrained multiple times and wow i won't get into the stuff i've done because it's probably not forum appropriate (-:
my panic attacks can get so bad that i faint, can't stand up and can't feel parts of my body.

Sour Candy: no don't apologize this board is for venting and getting some support! I want to be able to help any way I can. Do you have bad memories attached to your dad's place that maybe sparks the attacks?
Sea Cat: I am so sorry you've been through so much...is there anything I can say or do to help?

Would it be okay for someone who isn't officially diagnosed (because they can't get help) to talk here?

Well now that I think about it, there are some stressful memories. My dad isn't a bad person himself, but in the summer for a few years I'd be dragged to events I didn't want to go to, more specifically this one party a guy would throw every year. I hated it every single time, because it was always scorching hot, I had to sleep in a tent in a bug infested field, the music was insanely loud from the band preforming, it was always full of drunks, there was never any water to drink (just soda and beer), and there were a bunch of idiots/drunks. It was pretty stressful.

Sour Candy; perhaps your brain reacts negatively to going there because it fears that situation happening again.

Okay thank you
I deal with some form of anxiety and depressive issue that I've been struggling with for at least four years which has led to some problems such as self harm which I hated and because of a friend I stopped but it's still tempting.

I understand Val. I self harmed for years before I finally got help and stopped. Congratulations on stopping!

Okay, um, I haven't been officially diagnosed but all the signs are present that I have bad misophonia and severe OCD and probably some (more mild I guess) anger issues, if that all counts

Alright I think I need to stop talking about my anxiety because it's actually making me anxious

Draco; why isn't she? Does anything trigger the attacks?
SourCandy; that's cool. You do as much as you can handle.

I have ADHD, or so my psychologist says; I don't feel like I actually do though. I feel like I'm more on the Autism spectrum. I have a good friend with Asperger's and it feels like my symptoms are more similar to his than they are to other people who have ADHD
Idk though

I don't know what types, but I definitely have anxiety and depression. I also have sensory processing disorder, more specifically, auditory overload. There's some other stuff, too, but I'm going with these ones for now, as they are the main/worst ones.

I'm pretty sure I have depression of some degree, some other things that I have no idea what they would be, and probably some anxiety stuff. I am diagnosed with ADHD but it heightens my senses rather than want it does to most people so no one believes me when I tell them I have adhd. I never talk to my therapist when I had them so I never got diagnosed for things I'm pretty sure I have. I was once diagnosed for bipolar disorder like my mom and I might have it a bit since I tend to flip a switch a lot but not that noticeable. I could become an alcoholic cause when I have had some I wouldn't know when to stop and I just wanted more until I couldn't get any but the urges to drink are still there when I feel really depressed. I did also have encephalitis when I was seven and it was viral so if the virus mutates or something I could get it again. I think that's it for me

I have been diagnosed with Depression, Anxiety, and severe anger difficulties (there's a word for it and it is not bipolar, I just can't recall it at this exact moment). I self-diagnosed myself successfully with chronic depression five years before I actually received my official diagnosis. It would not surprise me if I did struggle with some form of PTSD, I match up with a lot of the symptoms but that could also be my anxiety. And if we're all for sharing life stories (aka our struggles with these happy-experience thieves), I have been suicidal in the past and use to scratch myself but it's been three years since anything has happened. So on the bright side, I'm on the road to recovery

WARNING: kinda dark stuff: I have no idea why, but one moment I'm laughing with my friends and the next I feel as if there is no point in living. I have no idea what this is, but I feel like I'm hanging by a thread, and the only reason I'm holding on is because of my friends.
