Do you have a mental illness/disability?

[Shuri]

Yes, I have a mental illness

Yes, I have a mental disability

Yes, I have both

I believe I have one or the other, but I’ve never been tested

No, I do not nor do I believe I have one

[SuperManiac]

Not to my knowledge, although I do have bizarre thinking patterns. I also used to be a member of Mensa (scored fairly high on official IQ test), and I sometimes wondered from meeting all the unusual people there if we all have something bizarre in the way we think and perceive the world.

But there's no mental illness or disability to my knowledge. I used to have a tendency to overthink when I was younger in a way that would make me prone to become upset or angry easily. However, while I haven't been able to slow down my hyperactive brain, I managed to overcome that tendency to veer towards the negative by learning how to challenge my negative thoughts as soon as they begin to occur.

[SuperManiac]

If I do have a mental illness, I think I've managed to learn how to make it dormant and not interfere with my daily activities. Nowadays I'm all mellow and low-stress and happy-go-lucky. There was a time when I was a teenager though where I used to think it was impossible for someone who questions everything and constantly lost in their thoughts to be happy-go-lucky. But I learned how to do it in spite of it. :-D

[SirRexington]

Mental illness is the same thing as a disorder...
I have Pervasive Developmental Disorder, a higher functioning autism spectrum disorder.
I have depression as well as mood and anxiety disorder.
I have tourettes.
I have OCD and ODD.
I have a math impairment called dyscalculia.

These make my life very difficult. I may look normal and seem normal. at first but I'm not. I'm not dumb. I've very smart and quite imaginative. I'm very devoted to learning about things I'm interested in and I am a very loyal person who works hard. I just can't work a traditional job. Especially after my break down 2 years ago.

[Shuri]

I didn’t use the word disorder, now did I?

[SirRexington]

I know you didn't. That's the problem.

[yoshi_wanna_ask]

Whoops, I got over excited and pushed the wrong option. I have both. I have (high functioning) Aspergers and Epilepsy. I'm not sure if you'd classify that as a mental illness or not.

[yoshi_wanna_ask]

A cousin of mine (female) has it too but because female autism is different than it is in guys at first she was diagnosed with Antisocial Personality Disorder then Bipolar and finally Aspergers which actually covered and explained all of the things she was struggling with.

[yoshi_wanna_ask]

Thanks for the MHO

[MemeSupreme]

Yeah I have multiple of mental illnesses unfortunately

[Haraald]

I have Add and probably some fragmenta of autism. Hard to say when they say boyh are the same nowdays.
I also might have something else mentally in that I hear audatory hallucinations, ever so often in a day. or so i think. Never checked it with a pro tho.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes i am mentally disabled , i don't learn things quickly , i am Bipolar , Schizo-effective
disorder , Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I have Diabetes, Arthritis, High blood pressure,
Supraventicular Tachycardia where my heart beats fast for period of moments at
the doctor yesterday my pulse was 140 and has went as high as 199 beats a minute.

[Atryn]

Major depression ( clinical depression) severe social anxiety, and borderline personality disorder. They thought i may be bi polar as well but they changed their minds about what was going on with me twice a week

[dragoblack]

I have long term and short term memory problems, damage to my mental processing, damage to my mental visualization, damage to my imagination, fragmented memory, memory loss, and slight damage to my muscle function part of my brain (my arms tense up and lock if i move my arms past a certain speed and the only way to undo it is to relax)

[ChefCurry]

That's a myth to keep people drugged, and insurance companies rolling in money. We're all fucked up. Some more than others. I used to see a doctor for adhd and I'd get adderall, was some of the best shit I ever took. Which is why I think diagnosis like those are just ways for doctors to peddle their drugs. If you ask me, that's really fucked up.

[AaronKrieger]

I have ADD, but I don't really consider it a disability or a disorder. I likey would be diagnosed with some sort of disorder if tested, but I don't consider myself to have one in general.

[Jackp0t777]

I have not been officially diagnosed but I definitely have Pure OCD and either ADD or ADHD I have horrible intrusive thoughts plus get distracted easily and go into that hyperfocus and OCD and the others can go hand in hand from what I read.

[brandommebrey]

according to the state of Iowa and the state of Minnesota from taking the mmpi which is the Minnesota multiphasic personality inventory I have seven different diagnosis

[legalboxers]

Plantar Fascists, Neuropathy, high blood pressure, chronic migraines. and I think some sort of depression and manic episodes which probably explains my cell phone collection, laptop collection and my build a bear collection

[SeattleSkyline]

Autism spectrum. Originally diagnosed with Aspergers as a kid.

[BestUserName100]

Depression/social anxiety and I hate my haters pretty much and it’s never going to change.

[FunkyMonkee]

Yeah, there's a blonde that lives across the street and I'm just CRAZY about her!!

[Anonymous]

I don't know. I just have trouble studying from a book/notes, and I have the mental state of a 19 year old.
Abd I have OCD and exhibitionist syndrome I guess

[Opinion Owner]

And voyeurism syndrome

[TheKack]

I've struggled with pretty severe depression for most of my life.

[Anonymous]

I have depression, which is fairly well controlled with medication.

[Anonymous]

I had depression but I beat that. I still have anxiety but I’m over coming it and it’s nowhere near as bad as it used to be.

[YHL6965]

Yes, unfortunately depression is still plaguing me, much less than before though.

[Fuentes]

You must live positive and stay away from what makes yiu negative

[Cruizer]

Hahahahahahabahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahaahahahahah

[SkipStop]

Mild epilepsy and selective social anxiety.

[Agape93]

Depression if that counts

[AngelLily]

Yes I have OCD ADHD an Asperger's.

[convo_king89]

Whats the difference?

[Shuri]

Mental illness is more about emotional response whereas mental disability is more about cognitive response. So bipolar disorder is a mental illness but retardation is a disability. Sometimes, depending on how severe a mental illness is, it can also be considered a disability. Depression for example can be both.

[convo_king89]

How is retardation a cognative response?

[Cruizer]

All the self diagnosis is fascinating.

[zagor]

OCD, but I've mostly got a handle on it now.

[AcidT0y]

Never checked but I doubt it

[Dsg1193]

I think we all kind of do to a degree

[devil_8888]

Nope... I am absolutely fine

[God-vs-Satan]

My mental acuity is very high.

[ivanhunterjo]

What does ADHD count as?

[Anonymous]

Yes add, ocd and adhd

[Iron_Man]

No i do not
