Hi.
I`m a 19 year old girl living in Norway. I have not be diagnosed with anything even though I was receaving therapy for two years after a psychotic episode.

I have a strong feeling that I`m bipolar. I get manic and I get depressed. I hav started the process to get help again, but the system her is ******** so I may have to write a very angry letter to the district so I can get help. I really want to finish highschool...

Other then that, I`m really into music, anime ond RPG with my friends. I love coffee shops and bars. Its a grate place for me and my friends to hang out an discuss different aspects of life=)

I'm Deanna, and I have been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, paranoia, avoidant personality disorder, schizoid personality disorder, ADHD, and an extreme anziety disorder. Yeah. I'm effed up. And medicated. Its a long story on how it all came to be, but to make a long story short, I have problems with my alcoholic mother. I'm 18, attending a community college and transfering out soon!

I'm Rachel, also known as Hershey.

I'm bipolar and ADHD, and I've been on almost every med out there.

I'm 19 and attending a community college in Southern California.

Hey, I'm Ares, 18 years old.

I haven't been formally diagnosed because my therapist can't technically diagnose me, but I am in the market for an ACTUAL doctor now. My therapist believes that I exhibit strong ties to borderline personality disorder, depression, rapid-cycling bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and generalized anxiety disorder. Although, there is a bit of a problem that my therapist doesn't know about. I self-injure.
Other than all of that, I try to live a normal life. No one but the people on Gaia know about my self-injury. I am so good at excuses it scares me. But, most people just see me as the hapy-go-lucky girl that I pretend to be everyday. It's sad it has to be that way, but it truly does. And that's really the sad part.
Other than all of that, I'm extremely interested in psychology, and contemplating minoring in psychology in case the whole "artist" thing falls through, because no one thinks I'll make it. I suck, but I can live with that. I've been told I can read people, and I believe that. I think of people as a puzzle, and just figure it out. I'm currently honing my skills. Hee hee.  

[Ursus horribilis]

Um, okay, well... I'm a fourteen year old girl, I live in Texas. I don't like it here. Not a bit. I go to a school full of ignorant jackasses who have little more to think about than everyone else's sexuality and who likes who. I mean S-H-A-L-L-O-W. Anyway.

I haven't been diagnosed with any mental illnesses, though I do go to a cousilor. About a year ago I cut myself twice, though they barely broke the skin and I stopped, realizing I have absolutely no tolerance for pain. My mom found out I was depressed and was sobbing everyonere n' s**t. Anyway, I was sent to a counsilor, thought I was better, then a few months later was filled with suicidal thoughts a lot. I went as far as planning it, though not on paper. No, leaving a trail wouldn't be very good.

I'm pretty much better now, though.

I have an incredible fear of hypodermic needles; possibly a phobia, I'm not really sure. Seeing one or even a picture of one makes me incredibly scared, and being near a real one or seeing a picture of one actually entering the skin and I start hyperventilating. I mean, everything about it makes me freak out big time. Then when I get a real shot, I nearly pass out. It doesn't matter what kind of shot they give me.

I have these really annoying quirks. I have to put everything down on my right, press buttons to the right, and either I want to turn something clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on what mood I'm in. Still, it's never both. Ever. It's really annoying, and often my fingers or leg or elbow or something feels off, so I move whatever feels off, like swivleing my arm around over nad over and over, just trying to get comfortable, but it just gets worse. I don't really know what this is, though it gets worse lately. The sounds of tapping, though especially the rapid tapping of fingertails being dropped on a table like drumming fingers, the sharp click, it just drives me crazy. It's bayond annoying; I ended up scratching up the back of my hand before I realized it just to keep myself from stabbing one kid in the arm. Same thing with really fast foot taps on a hard floor. There are just some noises that drill themselves right into my brain, just driving me completely crazy.

I haven't gone to a real psyciatrist (sp?) about this stuff, nor have I talked to my counsilor. I just don't like talking to her; I can't get myself to talk to her really, and I don't think it really matters.

Anyway.

I'm pretty interested in learning abuot psycology (sp?). I have been always, but especially since I did a report on DID for health class.

Anyone who says 'teen angst' is a complete jerk.

... Anyone who doesn't feel like reading all that, but wants to know at least something about me: I like kittens. Yay.

Edit: Ah, yes, I'm also annoyed by people who keep saying anyone under sixteeen claiming to be bisexual is either a slut or following a trend. That's just stupid. I lurk so much just to avoid some of those people. GAH. >.O Annoyance.  

[Ares]

I like kittens too!

But, yeah. I live in Oklahoma, so I know how you're feeling.

Heh, yeah... I'm going to move to either Canada or Japan when I grow up and deny my roots.

Anyone asks?

I'm from Atlantis.

...Kittens are so cute, but their claws and teeth... They're like needles...  

[Ares]

But when they're really young, they just have gums...

Howdy! I'm 26 years old and holding steady.

I've been dignosed with depression, which is quite severe. Um, I haven't been diagnosed with alcoholism, but hey, when you drink a few beers to calm your nerves before going to court to deal with your public intoxication charge, I think that's a pretty good indicator. sweatdrop Sooo, there it is.

But, I don't really consider myself crazy. Nope. Labels don't stick to me.
