What mental disorders have you been diagnosed with?

[SHThrowAway213]

I've been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, PTSD, BPD and Psychosis
It's an utter shit show in my brain and I sometimes drink to cope with it

 

[Rukia]

Schizophrenia

 

[TimeToDie]

Social anxiety (disabled by it), OCD, generalized anxiety, treatment-resistant depression, ADHD-primarily inattentive, insomnia, excessive daytime drowsiness.

I used to be confident that I was the most fucked up person my psychiatrist has ever seen. That was until I found this board, which has patients that rival me.

 

[jade]

depression & borderline personality disorder

 

[Sailfisher]

None.

 

[Sunset764]

Depression, social anxiety and psychosis.

 

[GoneWrong]

Psychosis but the meds have given me horrific side effects which have been labelled as anxiety and depression etc... Cue more meds to treat these. They're only make things worse. My mind is shot!

 

[peacefully31425]

AvPD and ADHD. It's almost impossible for me to get anything done and I'm afraid to reach out for help.

 

[Final Escape]

I was never officially diagnosed with anything besides ADD, but I was put on meds to treat depression starting by age 20. I self diagnosed BPD and complex PTSD when I became more knowledgeable about the role of childhood trauma in the development of psych disorders. I still can't believe how incompetent the psych doctors are and how long it took to figure out that mostly I suffer as an adult because of childhood abuse and neglect. I think they try to suppress the truth because if they admitted that most people with mental health issues had been abused then u couldn't sell the idea that these issues just arise out of nowhere, and it is treatable without medication probably. At least a large portion of it. I'm not saying all psych issues are related to childhood trauma but probably a high percentage.

 

[Irishsteve88]

Bipolar
Major anxiety disorder
Personality disorder
ADHD
insomnia sleep disorder

And most importantly a mad bitch

 

[Morphinekiss]

There's the ACE (Adverse Childhood Experience) research which demonstrates the impact of childhood trauma on mental health. Unfortunately, even though the impact of trauma is huge, it doesn't make it any more treatable.

[andy69]

Major depressive disorder

I wonder if I have borderline personality disorder. The last psychiatrist to diagnose me spent around five to ten minutes to come up with it.

 

[Thorn]

With the data protection laws here, they don't even tell me. Clinical depression is one.

 

[andy69]

Major depressive disorder

I wonder if I have borderline personality disorder. The last psychiatrist to diagnose me spent around five to ten minutes to come up with it.

P.S. I have dyslexia and alcohol dependency, even though I gave up drinking months ago.

I am STILL losing all of the Seroquel weight. Almost there.

It was so frustrating for me. Still is. Now I have some loose skin that I must get chopped off.

So many hugs to you. Seriously. Seroquel sucks.

I am actually looking at weight loss surgery now. I gained 65kg. A PERSON WORTH OF WEIGHT. I was prescribed it for sleep. Not psychosis. Fucking sleep. Could've given me something that maybe didn't make me gain a person of weight.

[GinaIsReady]

social anxiety disorder

 

[Rocksandsand]

It stands out in this thread that so many people are here at SS because of trauma... It's horrible to think that so many people have so much pain. But you are all amazing for surviving so far, and even if you end up deciding to CTB, it's still an achievement to come so far. I have so much respect for all of you.

Trauma is a cunt and has a death toll to prove it.

 

[Larez]

Major Depressive Disorder, Mild Depersonalization (luckily it went away in time, but it left a neverending sense of extreme derealization. Not as horrible as dpd though), social anxiety disorder.

One guy told me I might be autistic, yet he spent like 80% on his phone when I was telling him about my juvenile ctb attempt and showed him the scars on my throat. Didn't tell him to fuck off mainly because there might be some truth to that, but I was never really diagnosed. I know this isn't about mental illness now, but hey...welp, I don't know. The last psychologist I ever visited, from the crisis center, said there's a good chance I have AvDP.

 

[RM5998]

It took 3 hrs for the college psychologist to diagnose me with "an inability to socialize to the same extent as most other people due to being an only child". For context, the only thing I didn't tell him about was the suicidal ideation. The rest of it - the self-worth issues, the desire for approval, the lack of ability to find meaning, the desire to stop doing stuff because of unexplainable lethargy - he heard, but failed to understand. I'm not surprised, because he failed to grasp the idea of me being asexual as well.
Needless to say, I don't plan on attending another session. I'd say my untrained armchair psychology skills trump whatever he's doing.

 

[Raggas]

Depression
Schizophrenia (not psychotic).

 

[lilyeehaw]

Diagnosed with social anxiety and Depression.
pretty sure I got Schizophrenia but haven't been diagnosed with it yet, guess you can also throw in PTSD due to childhood abuse.
