Do you have any condition/syndrome?

[RageBurner]

I'm not sure if labelling ourselves is very productive

What do you mean?

 

[DrunkOcelot]

I was going to say: We're all broken, no need for a pissing contest

But then I started to think, I'm engaging with this thread and I'm having a positive time sharing my bullshit, and I'm only putting up a tough front to shield myself from pain

Fuck it. Let's have a shrink session boys

I understand what you mean, but I don't think it has to do with labels. I see it as a form of productive breadcrumbing, at least. It is our nature to classify; you are correct, of course, no one is a mere sum of acronyms and issues, it's much more nuanced than that, but if we know where the pieces go, it's easier to put ourselves back together.

Probably a naive way to look at it, but I do think something good can come out of this.

I think you're bored, and it's amusing to see people bearing a bunch of bullshit. Not that I don't agree. But you haven't shared anything about yourself yet.

 

[RageBurner]

I have, actually. I do believe I have a high degree of OCD and probably courting high functional autism, but I never had a formal diagnosis, so I'm just deducing things from my own behaviors. And no, I don't think there is amusement in seeing people open up their frailties; it certainly offers perspective, though.

Throwing out you're autistic here is like saying we all like big boobs. Hahahaha. But alright. Cheers

You aren't wrong, we all do, haha. Well, I have quirks and behaviors that seem to point towards it, at least.

 

[NobodyHere]

I'm pretty sure I have undiagnosed ADHD. The standard symptoms are extremely familiar to me, especially as a young child. I grew up juuuuuuust before testing for stuff like that became more common and accepted.

Never too late

 

[RashFaustinho]

A very very mild form of Epilepsy

I can't complain, it's the only condition I have and it's very tame, so I'll take it

 

[Parasite_Steve]

AuDHD, depression and I’m also trans if that counts. Albeit transfemme despite my user name and pfp (couldn’t let that dumb joke pass)

 

[LeoTCK]

I don't care about conditions anymore. Not that it matters now. I've had plenty in the past. then became a lab-rat and a fugitive and soon its gonna start again if someone won't help me!
they sure won't care. they will just subject me to torture because I can survive a lot somehow.

I can't afford any failings to stop me or break me down, i can't think of myself and my body i have to sometimes live with an untreated broken bone and such, been through that plenty last year.

 

[RetroLaw]

ADHD.
Thankfully without the impulsivity.

Also acrophobia.

To the point that I actually have trouble in some games (the tower in Infamous )

 

[MistHunter]

-_-;
Narcolepsy.

post/extra: (I'm ok. I know how to deal with it)

 

[The Almighty Hamster]

ASD, dyscalculia, mildly cognitively impaired, clinical depression and ongoing ADHD diagnosis.

I've accepted I'm never going to live like the average typical adult would. Cannot tie my shoelaces or read analog time, but good at literature-based subjects and got A-grades. Probably never going to be able to learn how to drive. Never learned anything beyond very basic algebra. Took a cognitive test and it showed my verbal IQ is 90th percentile while matrix reasoning, problem-solving and numeracy is <15%. Don't drink, smoke or go out on my own. I ask questions to my college classmates and they just laugh at me and say "I'll tell you when you're older".

I need someone to look after me and that's okay. People don't realize how hard being an independent adult is - let alone when you're disabled. It's not that I am not ready; just simply not capable. I tried my best and I learned to stop blaming myself for circumstances outside for my control. Don't think I would last living on my own, at least not without financial stability and experience first. Although I am an 18-year-old adult, I am emotionally and mentally stunted in a lot of ways that limit my capabilities. My bedroom for the most part is still very bright and colourful with posters and decor, and I have a lot of plushies and teddy bears. It makes me feel comforted and safe.

 

[Retrodyte95]

I've never visited a psychologist (mainly because where I'm from), but I'd bet my life that I have ASD and OCPD. I've struggled with both my whole life, but OCPD has been REALLY bad between the ages of 17-19. Thankfully I've gotten it mostly under control, even to the point it sometimes feels more like a perk than a curse

 

[dr grim]

Have hyperactivity since i was a kid, took a lot of meds before, stopped as a teenager, wanted to feel free and not supressed.

Red/green color blindness.

I have a similar thing but I never bothered to be diagnosed with it. Just a different way of seeing things, I just learned to compensate or use computer to tell me how much of rgb something has, etc.

I also don't see much into distance, I used to wear glasses but got rid of them for practicality and cost...over time

so I just ask someone or get closer to something instead

 

[AnonymousCookieMonster]

Asperger's here...
along with chronic depression, and sleep apnea.

Though after being in the military, the autistic nature of having Asperger's is less noticeable than it used to be.

 

[The Missing Link]

For example, I have Asperger's syndrome.

I have OCD. I've been learning to live with it...despite how annoying it can be.

 

[Prism_Red]

Never been professionally diagnosed before, but there are many signs of PTSD as of late.

PTSD was almost exclusively to soldiers returning from war. Some called it shell-shocked, but any stressful situation can sufficiently make you jittery and exhausted.

A number of people shouldn't have PTSD today, unless they are in cities where gang violence is prominent.

I see, perhaps that's not it then? I often feel on edge when it hits, and there were several bouts of flashbacks too.

Chronic Depression

Had it since the 90s, got it professionally diagnosed and had the record sealed (basically the guy worked in the same hospital as I did)

Mind you, some forms of meditation can exacerbate it; I didn't know back then and got even worse. Funny though that the very same meditation became my coping mechanism for more than a decade...
