do you have any mental health diagnoses ? (1 Viewer)

[litc]

Yeah, mine is ADHD.
Doctors thought I might have BPD or be Bi-polar at some point but I think my current therapist said they were full of shit. Which I agree with LOL.

I have adhd too and I have such a love-hate relationship with it, mostly hate nowadays

 

[raymondchouku]

But since everyone is sharing I might as well:

Attention Deficit Disorder (Age 6) back when it was considered its own disorder

Autism Spectrum Disorder (Age 10)

Epilepsy (Age 24).

Given symptomology likely undiagnosed Bulimia Nervosa and Social Anxiety Disorder.

Thankfully my ADHD isn't too bad and my sensory issues that come with it haven't been effecting me too severely. They used to be REALLY bad.

 

[Ahsoka]

Anyways I do but I’m not sharing

 

[Yuzuru]

That I know of no.

 

[Lovely_Cornchips]

when you say doctors, do you mean like psychiatrists or like PCP?

Therapists I was seeing were trying to give me a diagnosis. The one who said bi-polar I was WAY too young to be getting a diagnosis like that.

When I was an actual child, like in elementary school, I used to be bullied for being "dumb" because of stuff I would do impulsively and socially dumb stuff I would do (I have combined type) and ignore me like I didn't exist, while talking about how annoying I was in front of me but not saying it to my face or telling me what I was doing that was annoying, and making me cry and still continuing to talk bad about me like I didn't exist

Now it's mostly not social stuff but the day to day stuff, and mental effect and sometimes the sensory stuff, like I legit cannot listen to stuff above barely minimum volume

Also please why did they always make the kid with adhd the leader in group projects in hs

I wasn't annoying in the typical sense? I had emotional outbursts due to my emotional dysregulation symptoms that made me really hard to be around and it would isolate me as a result.

Also, I don't think I was ever the leader.


Right now my biggest thing is the executive dysfunction...that shit fucks me up so bad.

I had that too, I'm still really impatient, and get upset easily, but I literally cannot EVER stay mad and become happy in like 10 min after for most things?

I didn't even know what I did that was annoying, I literally tied myself to a basketball pole with my jacket impulsively cause I could once for example. It tore down the back and I fell down, and no one even told me, my mom got mad at me for ripping my jackets and I had no clue why

I literally hate the lack of planning and time management skills, like I've been trying ...

It sucks that I'm a super independent person too but I'm just sucking at it. I literally could not go shopping and one day only ate half a bag of carrots bc I literally couldn't go shopping, bc I would go shopping after doing "this", which I would do after "that" and then just Everything takes longer, time between tasks I got distracted. I literally hate structure and I'm a free spirit, but I need structure?

I hate how I get distracted super easily too, literally it doesn't even have to be studies, I struggle so much

It feels like my brain doesn't even work a lot of the time, every day being an off day

But when I'm in the zone for something I'm hyperfocusing on, I'm so good

And luckily winging things is a skill of mine, maybe cause I'm impulsive

LOL I think I'm lucky in the way I'm currently studying for a degree I really want and as a result, I've been able to hyper-focus anytime I try studying.

Tbh I do really like some of the classes and when I start an assignment for some of them I can hyperfocus - but the hard part is starting bc of the other stuff I have to do and just sucking at planning

I genuinely really do like some of my classes (but not all)

But sometimes I'm doing smth and hyperfocusing and I'm like, why can't i do just this and get paid

But I'm studying cs and game dev, art and cs combined major, my fave part is the art for sure

In all honesty, I would rather do something where I don't have to sit still the whole time, I have too much energy for that

That's why I'm becoming a vet tech hopefully-lost of activity and using your brain so I don't get bored.

Just going to put this here since people have preconceptions of what "neurodivgent" means. I myself have problems with the phrase, but its being used, so...

guess im neurodivergant, i didnt know bpd and ocd were under the term.

 

[dark_tranquility]

Schizophrenia, Depression, Anxiety Disorder and Epilepsy

 

[Wingfrost]

[Dreamer_of_Songs]

Yes.

Anxiety
Depression

Autism

Spoiler

Before officially getting my autism diagnosis at 19, my psychiatrist and psychologist originally diagnosed me with ADHD at the age of 10.

 

[DearEagleZ]

AFAIK I have no mental health diagnoses, but in terms of developmental disorders I've been diagnosed with autism.
