What mental illnesses or disorders do you have?

[JustinTheGreat]

I have trichotillomania, which falls under the OCD category. It’s the obsession of pulling out hair.

I’ve been doing it for almost 10 years now. I will sit here and just pull out my hair for hours. I try not to pull out my head hair because I don’t wanna be bald, so i try to focus on any other hair on my body. Mostly my leg hair. One time one of my legs was almost completely bare because I plucked them all out. Do you know how many hairs are on an average leg? 1 million…I’ve literally pulled out a MILLION hairs individually within maybe a week. I’m fucking insane 💀

i even get the urges to pull out OTHER peoples hair…like my husband is so over my shit lmao. he’ll just be sitting there minding his business and I’ll just rip out a piece of his facial hair for no reason 💀
He gets so mad about it and I’m just like “sowwy, that hair was curlier than the others so I HAD to pull it out 🥺🥺”

Or even things like pulling out feathers from a pillow or blades of grass gives me the same satisfaction.

this is why I had to throw out all the tweezers in my house. Once I get a pair of tweezers in my hands, it’s OVER. I’ll literally sit here pulling out hair till the sun comes up

I need therapy lmao

y’all ever see an old man with one really long eyebrow hair sticking out?
I’ll notice it on a complete stranger and my intrusive thoughts will tell me “pull it out, pull it out 😈”

my Brothers ex actually had trichotillomania. she had the most beautiful, long hair i had ever seen. she tried to focus on the lower back of her head, so it didn't show. he tried to distract her with fidget toys & stuff but it didn't help much.

personally i have chronic depression & bulimia that i am trying to recover from currently. also had some ptsd symptoms in the past but i got over them.
sometimes i get panic attacks but i think they're just part of my depression and not their own thing.
i'm actually really stable right now. i learned a lot about myself in the past few years & although i still have bad weeks here and there i manage to live life mostly unaffected by bad moods.

I have stress, anxiety, depression, ocd.

[NathanDavis]

just good ol' depression... which has been mostly dormant for the last 16 years, which is great...

although, as of late (last five years or so) I've started to feel some anxiety when/with high levels of stress but nowadays the effects of that are more on the physical side rather than the emotional/mental affairs and, fortunately... it is not as bas as it used to be, as long as I work on it promptly and if it can be helped, of course

Just Depression and PTSD

had both since a teen, the PTSD is lovely layer cake these days lol.

Linked into the above is lack of sleep and full on nightmares, which are always a giggle.

However, that has not stopped me actually getting on in life, it did take a bit of 🩸🩸 on bathroom floor though lol

I was diagnosed with Severe Anxiety and PTSD. They also said I have mild depression but it isn’t as bad as my anxiety And with that I get so embarrassed telling people because I feel like they would just see me as attention seeking and I just feel so bad for having it sometimes.
My boyfriend of 2 months noticed I always shake my leg, it’s a habit and it helps me to focus on that instead of my worries, and he immediately was like “anxiety?” So he knows. But it is so bad that yesterday when I went to pick him up I didn’t have no service and I was very anxious that I might have to go knock on his door. It sounds so stupid but that’s just how my mind works.
On a different note I also have Hemophobia (the fear of blood). It doesn’t really affect me if it’s my blood, unless there is a lot that reminds me of the consistency of blood, but when I see other peoples blood or even smell the iron in the air (like at a blood drive), I will get really anxious and nervous and I will lose my appetite.

I’ve autism diagnosed at an early age. It ain’t a mental illness/disorder, but I put it up so You will know. I also have TBI.

I wondered if I really was bipolar (I get depressed and giddy sometimes), schizophrenic (I’m often paranoid), and ADHD (I find it hard to pay attention sometimes). I later was diagnosed with bipolar-type schizoaffective disorder and OCD. My mother didn’t believe it. Later when I perceived being sexually assaulted by my stepfather, I possibly have gotten PTSD.

and that OCD thing with the hair-pulling obsession, I might have it a bit. When I get really stressed or enraged, I pull my hair or beat myself up like Dobby.

My mum also calls me antisocial. Sociopaths are antisocial, but I don’t think I am, according to many comrades.

[Blackcosmo]

Honestly the way you said yours was really funny lmao.

I have never been diagnosed (because my mom keeps telling me there's nothing wrong with me and I can get over it) but I know I have anxiety and a severe stress disorder. Some time ago I suspect I had (maybe chronic) depression and I never told anyone but it somehow faded and I'm glad. I was miserable.

[Guy13]

What about my ear hair... are you busy? There is a way to make money here... ;-)

[JustinTheGreat]

[Guy13]

If yo move to West Palm... pretty much anywhere in Florida than Bonanza

[Rockstarrrrr]

I was diagnosed with OCD and ADHD... But most people I know don't have a clue.. I try to not make a big deal out of it

[exitseven]

I am an undiagnosed sufferer of depression.

[Marianna546]

[Anonymous]
