Have you ever been diagnosed with a mental health condition?

[Kundalini Guy]

Paranoid Schizophrenia
Autism Spectrum Disorder

 

[Stormy Raine]

MDD, and anxiety. I'm sure there's more but I stopped seeing therapist and speaking of my issues once I was forced on a 72 hr hold! I felt so violated and I'll never go back! So no talking means no more diagnoses

Major depressive disorder and severe anxiety. I'm positive there's more. Some form of OCD since I frequently fixate on spiraling thoughts, hypotheticals, past events. Self image is shattered, I have no confidence or self-esteem, don't know if there's a particular disorder for that.

Just Autism (Asperger's syndrome to be specific). I hate autistic people, I really hate myself. I'm sooooo stupid when it comes to people stuff. Sometimes I feel like I make everyone's lives worse just by existing

I have a clean slate since I never went to the doctors about my mental health but if I had to guess depression, anxiety, OCD.

Major Depression & Anxiety. and maybe ...

Foreign Accent Syndrome ... My epilepsy medication gave me a French accent, .

This hardly counts, but a therapist once wrote me up for having 'anxiety.' But, while I am often socially awkward, I don't have the symptoms for generalized anxiety disorder and I do not have panic attacks. I feel like anxiety was just written down, as an explanation for self-harm (that's the reason I was in therapy.) I have never been on medication for a mental illness. I do wonder if I have Seasonal Affective Disorder, due to my mood shifts during the winter months. But, I have never been diagnosed. I still experience plenty of lows during the warm seasons too. I have had continual urges to self-harm, since the age of 12. Suicide ideation has been a regular part of my mind for a similar amount of time.

I take a drug (lamictal) in order to not have too many depressive thoughts, but nobody ever diasogned me with something, and not only one but 2 psychiatric and 1 therapist. The 2 doctors basically told me, you don't need real antidepressant because you really have concrete problems, so it's normal that you feel that way, even if you took antidepressant you would still have thes external problems. And it's true, i could take all the drugs of this world, it wouldn't change the fact that i have an abusive family, physical problems, no friends etc Maybe i could have taken them years ago now it's too late
So basically even doctors told me i cant help you, you have a very shitty life its normal you are depressed just accept it or CTB (they didnt stay this last sentence obviously)
