Introduction Thread

[Darin Yamazaki]

Hello, I'm Darin. I'm 16 (going to be 17 soon) and I live in San Jose, California. I was diagnosed with ADD and Bipolar I. I'm on 40mg of Adderal, 200mg of Lamictal and 1mg of Risperidone (but I don't really like Risperidone).  

[intentionally blank]

Hello everyone. You guys can call me Leeny or Scabby. I'm going to be 21 this year and I've been depressed for a long time, and I've also been interested in mental illnesses, disorders, and psychology for a long time. 3nodding  

[Infomaniac Girl]

Heyo, all. My name's Laur, but you can call me Sinishi, Sini, or Shi if you'd like. I'm sixteen turning seventeen next June, and it seems that I have a multitude of problems affecting my mental health, some of which are basically unexplained symptoms. Since my mom's a psychologist, I've been in therapy for at least ten years, yet only a few of my problems have been explained. sweatdrop Oh, and one psychiatrist described me as 'creative, but alexithymic', mostly because my emotional intelligence is really low and I have an extremely hard time describing how I feel.

Anywho, I've been diagnosed with inattentive ADD and 'intellectual giftedness', and anxiety has been added to the list as of late too, which I think might be turning into agoraphobia.

I also have some issues with perfectionism, compulsive behavior, hoarding, and executive functioning, and recently an occupational therapist said that the left and right hemispheres of my brain have some trouble communicating.

I've been extremely bored with schoolwork, and my anxiety is worst at school due to the amount of other people there, but I'm working through that. Xx' Anyways, I have a natural curiousity for anything dealing with mental functioning and such, which is another reason for my presence here.

I think that about sums it up... Yeah. Okay, the rant is over, you can uncover your ears now. blaugh

This rambling has been brought to you by a severe lack of sleep, overdose of caffeine and anxiety and... umm... oh yeah; me, myself and I. xd

Oh yeah, and I'm on 75mg Adderall, umm.... three Klonapin a day and one and a half Zoloft. I don't know the exact doses of Klonapin and Zoloft because my mother still controls my dosages, so yeah. sweatdrop Shutting up now! *hides*

[TheUnendurableRapture]

Hello, my name is Raven. I am 19 years old. Late last year I was diagnosed with ultra-rapid cycling Bipolar II and borderline personality disorder. Despite my medication I'm still haveing a very hard time battling depression and mood swings and these have caused a lot of problems between myself and my fiance and friends. I'm here hoping to gain some knowledge about how to keep control of these disorders and help others that may have the same problems.  

[Phoenix_Gray]

Hello biggrin
I'm Trinity and I'm turning 21 in May. I have Aspergers Syndrome with a mild case of OCD. I'm very interested in psychology but I plan on majoring in English since I'm so good at writing. Anyway, my interests are reading, writing, anime, rock music and horror movies (generally). I did some research on autism and want to meet others with autism.

認識您們我很高興

Why hello there! I'm Ligier, and I turned twenty-five in February. I was diagnosed with General Anxiety Disorder, although I suspect that I have Schizoid Personality Disorder. I'm presently seeing a therapist, so I'm going to ask about it when I next have an appointment (in a week or two).

Looking for work has been incredibly difficult because of these impediments, as they limit what I can handle, and there isn't very much available of what I can handle and what's available. So, instead of putting me in a looking-for-work government aid program, the government people put me on social assistance instead. Which is fine with me, as it takes the pressure off to find a job right now, and I have time to find ways to deal with my problems. sweatdrop  

[maybebaby888888888]

Hi, I guess. I'm celestasia. I've been diagnosed with lots of things almost diagnosed with more. I don't honestly think anyone really knows what the matter is with me. I had to miss an entire of semester of school. The one time I was actually willing to go to counseling my parents refused to send me. I've had bad experiences with counselors and the like, so I refuse to go to any more.  

[Louise Brooks]

My name is Jessica urquhart.
I'm 15 years old/
I've been diagnosed with aspergers,depression,anxiety disorder & dysraxia.
I have never stopped and considered myself to be "depressed". I use quotes for that word to describe myself because I hate classing myself like that. To perspective things- If you are born with an arm missing, you are not going to turn around when you are thirty and say; "oh yeah, I really miss my arm". The same with this-the feelings that I had experienced from such a young age became me. Well, a side of me. There are two sides to my personality I suppose. When I strangled myself or went out with my mates, I never stopped and thought that something wasn't entirely right with me. I am guilty of the most human and the most common mistake- I never told anyone how I felt. I didn't realise what I was doing at points was endangering my life and others as well. In the last 3 years I have made attempts to kill myself. I have thought about it lately all the time and I asked myself if I really wanted to die then. And the honest answer is, yes I did. A part of me still wants to and always will.
I've been in two hospitals & since then things have'nt ever gotten better.
I just want somewhere to talk as I now have hardly any help.




 

[PsychAnomaly]

Hi all

My names Cat, I'm 18 am currently studying psychology at university.

I've been diagnosed with Bipolar II disorder, after about 6 months of being treated for depression only.

I'm on Molipaxin (Trazodone), an antidepressant which I highly recommend, and Epitec (Lamotrigine) which doesn't seem to be working just yet.

I'm relatively stable compared to where I used to be, and I hope to be able to contribute to this community in a positive way, by giving advice and support, as well as to learn from other's experiences.

I'm more than willing to chat to anyone who needs it. 3nodding  

[Rathlarias Moondown]

There's a time to discriminate
Hate every ******** that's in your way

Hello. My name's Tobias, but I tend to go by Rath. As I stated in the diagnosis thread, I've been formally diagnosed with GID, but think I have DID or something like it, and those around me feel I display bipolar, social anxiety, and/or obsessive-compulsive tendencies. I'm twenty-three, though I don't act like it, and male, though my genitalia say otherwise.

I'm getting tired of posting introductions since I've joined several guilds and whatnot lately, so if you want to know more about me, just ask. sweatdrop

 

[witchhunter123]

hi I'm April and

I have ADD and OCD

and am a young adult currently  

[Reginarosie]

I am 21, Friendly. loves to read, write, sing, dance, being on the laptop and hanging with freinds 3nodding

I have a disorder but im not sure if its G.A.D, S.A.D or both. Most of time I would get upset if you say something insulting. I usually don't say much because i am extremely shy. But there may be a time when i would explode like last week lol. I usually kept things inside because i hate fighting. I get flashes sometimes of wanting to hurt someone but most of the time the person is annonymous. Because i never had stand up for myself and currently trying to stand my ground. But i sometimes think about wanting someone to start with me so i can beat the crap outa them. i always try calming down because i really dont want to think that way. I have a little veangeance and some forgiveness. Me being remorceful is decreasing D:

Nice to meet you all, im a really nice person tho whee  

[Petrograd]

Hi!

I'm 27. I was diagnosed with PTSD in 2004 after an event in late 2003.

I think I have Asperger's syndrome too, but I don't have that diagnosed.

I'm interested in maths, geography and history. I study environmental science.

I'd like to meet new friends.  

[C a m e l l i a Xx]

Hii! I prefer to go by Camellia or Cam.

I'm currently 18 and thinking of majoring in psychology, because the subject has always fascinated me. ^^

I live in Ontario, Canada, and I haven't been diagnosed with anything-mainly because I don't really believe in seeing a professional. When I was little, I was taken to a lot of different professionals mainly for anger management and I remember just answering yes and no to every question and giving them the answer they wanted to hear. Just about every one of them seemed to ask me the same questions over and over again, and as a child I just got bored of it and it didn't seem to help much either. They were so predictable and they just asked the same repetitive questions.

Anyhow, I'm interested in mental illnesses because it sort of looks into the darker side of the human mind. However, I don't believe in classifying people as "mentally ill" or treating them as though there's something wrong with them because once you do that it's difficult to see them as a person.

I find that people in general are really interesting. I love meeting new people, although I seem to have difficulty maintaining relationships. Anyhow feel free to msg me about anything! ^^

I also love comments. <3
