Discussion anyone else that has a rare mental illness or physical condition?

[kosmischerunfall]

does anyone here have something special about them? like so rare that almost nobody has heard about something like that?

the conditions where your met with questions marks???

i feel so lonely, i have something called avpd(not diagnosed)
but it makes my life a living hell, FUCK, socials skills are so integrated in human nature, and i had to be the odd one, that has none.

i'm even emberassed to talk about it, im scared people will downplay my suffering

"its only social anxiety!!!"
no. no it's not.

being seemingly alone with such an overlooked mental illness makes me feel lonely and it feeds more of my costant negative only fucking weirdo in this world mindset.

yeah.

I have avpd too. Didn't know there was a name for it until now though. Neurotypicals don't know the name of like any conditions besides anxiety and depression so them not knowing it doesn't it particularly rare. My condition, DPDR, is not known by any of the doctors I've seen

Omg hey someone else with AVPD! Yeah it also ruins my fucking life. I didn't even realize I had it until a couple years ago. All the endless daydreaming, avoiding people because I feel like I don't deserve them, constant self-depricating, it all made sense. And ofc so much more.

Nobody has any idea what PNES is (psychogenic non-epileptic seizures) but that's another one I've got. Basically I have dissociative seizures and there's no cure, they just happen at random and I have to just roll with it. It could happen while I'm driving and I could crash off the side of the highway and die but like, who gaf, I'm gonna do that anyway. Although some anti-seizure meds do help reduce the frequency of them, so I have some suspicion that a few could be epileptic but fuck it we ball, I'll never know and don't care to know anyway.

Not as big of a deal but I also have dyscalculia, which is basically math dyslexia.

Bonus points for POTS, it's relatively well-known but definitely need to have more awareness spread about it.

I have 22q deletion also known as DiGeorge Syndrome. I have yet to find anyone who actually knows what this disorder is. Even doctors are confused when I mention it.
It's a disorder I wish I didn't have, as it comes with a bunch of psychological issues, as well as sleep issues.

I also had no idea that avpd was considered rare.
