I'm a musican and a poet. I wrote more about myself in the 'diagnosis' section of the forum.

Hi...I'm Kea...I'm 15 and I've been officially diagnosed with depression (but I'm on meds now) and unofficialy self-diagnosed with social anxiety and ADHD, from my own research.
As for why I joined this guild...partially in interest of my own mental illness, and patially because I've always found human behaviour and psycology interesting. So yeah, hi.
PS: I'm a little hyper, so forgive me whee

Well, apparently I have not posted in here yet.
I am 20 years old and in my third year of college majoring in psychology and sociology. I really would like to enter the field of high school counseling, I really like the counselors I had in high school and though I could add to that field. I may have to go into the corporate field though, because California is cutting its funding for schools.
I have TTM (trichotillomania) and I have pulled my hair out for the last 10 years. I have a friend who is bipolar and as a result have joined the BP guild.
PM or email me (which is faster) if you need or want anything!

Hi everyone. I'm Amber, 19 years old and a psychology major. I got interested in psychology becasue my mother has schizophrenia, and has my own life. Because of it I grew up without a mom since she was always in a hospital or board and care. I didn't get a chance to know her and now that the disesase has taken over I never will truly know her. So that's why I'm here, to learn more about my mom's disease and see just how difficult it is for her to live with it.

Hello, my name is Kelsey and I am currently 14 years old. I will be 15 this year on July 22.
Uhhh... let's see... I'm kind of a boring person. I enjoy debating [it doesn't mean I'm good at it sweatdrop ], Gaia, animals, massage therapy, psycology, anime, manga, swimming, running, listening to music, and playing various musical instruments. I love music. It is so relaxing and fun to play. I play flute, piccolo, oboe, piano, harmonica, recorder, guitar, and a little bit of banjo and clarinet. I just can't get enough!
I like to help people, but I could NEVER be a doctor for many reasons. First, I would never make it alive through medical school. Second, I can not stand needles. Third, I would have too much of an emotion attachment to my patients. I am still doing a medical career, it is in Massage Therapy. I know that it is not a main one... but you do work along side with doctors and help ease other peoples pain and stress. When I help people, it makes me feel better about myself.
My mom is an alcholic, has anxiety problems, suffers from depression, and a drug addict. For a long time, I have had no mother around... but I could handle everything from doing the laundry to taking care of my sister. Since the day after Christmas (when my mom was finally admitted to therapy), things have been extremely hard.
I know that I suffer from depression, but for the most part I can handle it. I just have to keep myself busy. Lately my friends have been concerned that I am showing some syptoms for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). One girl's step sister has it (I have never met the step sister) and she thinks that I might have it. They also are thinking I might be bipolar, but I doubt it. I am going to hold off seeing a doctor, because my mom just lost her job Friday (May 27) that she has had for about six years. I just want to find out how severe it is and if I should get help now or wait it out.
Well, that't it for now. I am sure you will hear more from me in my post to come.

Hi to all.
My name is Paul. I have a mood disorder (was considered possibly bipolar) linked to psychosis. I've only experienced one very weird episode but it was certainly something I and anyone who saw me won't forget. Day to day, I take a mood stabilizer, and if things aren't looking good, an anti pyschotic as well (which I hate because they can give weight gain which is a pain to lose).
My condition is triggered by intense stress, and lack of sleep: which I do my best to avoid.
I'd feel some what presumptious to call myself an artist... it's something I wish I had more time for and I really need to focus on getting something showing my IT skills for a job first... But I would really like to be working in digital art if I could.

Hi everyone. My name's Ryan, I'm 19 (soon to be 20 in September) and I'm diagnosed with depression, bipolar, and possible Borderline Personality Disorder. Not quite sure what to say about myself. I'm going through a very rough time right now. Not sure where to start, so i wont. Any questions, IM me or whatever. There is no question in the world, or anywhere else for that matter, that i will not answer truthfully. Guess that's it.
~Ryan

My name's Nicole.
I have been diagnosed with depression.
I have been on two different medications for this (Paxil & Zoloft). I took myself off BOTH after an amount of time.
I've seen a psychologist. I guess I'm real messed up because nothing seems to fix me. XD Lol.
I've self-diagnosed myself with OCD. (I have it. No doubt.) I've been suffering with OCD longer than depression, but only by about a month.
I've been suffering from depression for over 3 years now.
I've done ALL sorts of self-injury/ODing and I'm left with scars.
And for the record, I've attempted suicide more times than I can count. But only 3 times I came close. -shruggs-
Yeah. Lol. This is my mental health record.

Well im Jeanne and Ive been seeing shrinks since 2nd grade. as a child my mom thought i had autism but it wasnt enough to get the diagnosis..probly aspergers looking back on it and especially since one of my alternates is a 8yr old(we're guessing from certain clues) who (from my doctor hubbie and friends accounts) is about on the level of a smart 4 yr old but she gets spacy and doesnt talk much andstuff) . anyhoo it started getting much worse by the time i was a senior in highschool i started dissascoiating frequently and obviously and seeing things and being plane wierd..which lost me most of my friends. I had been depressed for a long time since about 8yrs old when i first startd cutting. i always identified 4yrs old as being my only time of happiness. I was abused by my mom all my life..my dad who never lived with us but was nice and was in so many ways my savior died when i was 12. about the same timei was raped which was shoved deep inside till at colledge when it exploded..i was also molested in my sophmore yr at the school..but being one of the freaks and being that he was student counsil rich preppy son of a b***h i shutup and endured it sevral times till he graduated out of fear. When in colledge i finally flipped my lid all the way and drove..literally into a cemetary ..i was stopped by the for ft high three ft thick concrete wall. I was commited to the hospital and diagnosed as schitzophrenic..i was labled this for 2 yrs till on my third hospital trip i was more accuraty diagnosed as D.I.D. and post tramatic stress disorder with major depression and scitzoascoiative tendiencies. I am currently on Geodon,Trazadone, wellbutrine and depakote. I am married with a young son and have just recently been discharged from my 4th hospital stay.

Hey everyone.
Guess it's time for my intro as I've already posted a few times in here. I'm 18, and I'm diagnosed with Bipolar II and Social Anxiety. I've OD'ed quite a few times, and as a result my stomach's pretty screwed up, but I'm still here... blaugh
Right now I'm on Depakote and Prozac, and in the past I've been on Lamictal, Lexapro and Desipramine. I'll probably edit this later, because I have to go now, but if anyone wants to chat PM me.

I'm currently a high school student, going to a transitional school, because I don't get along with other kids too much.
I've been diagnosed with ADHD and OCD, though I've grown out of my ADHD. I have troubles sitting on chairs, like cafateria and bus chairs, and some cafeterias I can't even go near. I'm very sensitive to smells, so if I smell something I don't like, I pull my shirt over my nose and use it like a gas mask. I aslo have to wash my hands alot, which is a pretty common OCD thing. I also have to take a shower if I go outside for too long.
I live in the Garden state, A.K.A New Jersy, though I prefer to call it the Garbage state. Though I live in a large house, with good freinds, I hate it here. The people in my school are ignorant fools, it's been that way since I moved here in second grade, from sunny California. BAAH. I've had quite a few problems in the past years, like suicide threats, which, in my mind, I know I could never go through with, because I'm horribly afraid of blood and pain.
My favorite things are biology, because if there weren't animals around me, I'd probably have given up long ago, and videogames, because they help me take out aggression, and are just something to do with friends.
I also like fishing, but I never kill the fish because I believe they have just as much right to live as me, though I will eat meat, because I also understand a cycle of life must go on.
The one great thing about my life is my family. I have one of the best families in the world, and they helped me get pretty far. I don't have a religion, because I don't think I should worry about what haoppens after life, If I still have so many years to live, and I also consider myself Asexual.

Yo, I'm Dorg Endo. You can call me Dorg or Endo or DE or Dorgy, et cetra...pretty much any nick name is fine with me as long as its nice.
I just recently turned 21 years old and a good bit of info about me can be checked any time in my profile.
Specificly for this guild I can say I officially have OCD, ADHD, General Anxiety Disorder, Mild Depression, all of which give to random Panic Attacks (thankfully its not that often). When I was seven years old I was diagnosed as ADHD positive by my Pediatrican, then when I was fifteen I went to Psychologist to be reevaulated when I was tagged with OCD, GAD, Depression, and my Panic Attacks in addition to ADHD.
Psychology disorders tend to run in my family from both my parents, especially ADHD and Tourettes and many Asperger disorders. So my own brother has Autism, I have several cousins with ADHD and/or Tourettes, and I suspect that many of my aunts and uncles have ADHD or Tourettes also but were never diagnosed.
So aside from dealing with and being surrounded by various disorders my whole life I am also taking up Psychology in college. Sadly I only have one semester under my belt so I'm still a newbie to Pysch (I guess xd ). So I have always had a great interest in Abnormal Psychology for personal and professional reasons.
Add-Ons--Not officially diagnosed but I've wondered if I have Tourettes. Because I do get random body and facial ticks, and vocal ticks. But thats completely not official.
If ya want to know more just ask me and I'll try to answer.
*Slides in an Edit*
Yep AT and GCD is where I can be found outside the Guild
*pokes down*
