I don't think I have a mental illness...

[TheWizard]

I do but I don't care because no one else here cares. :)

[Tony]

I care, but anyway. I dont know what it is with me, sometimes I am a totally different person and I can never remember things. It sounds a bit like me myself and irene, but its not THAT different.
I am pretty pissed of with life as well, is that an illness, where you just want to end it all.

[Shaolin]

I do but I don't care because no one else here cares. :)

Josh, i and many of the members on this site care that you have an illness and enjoy your online company.

I don't believe your paranoid schizophrenic, sounds like bull to me. Since when was schizophrenia a split personality?

If you had an illness that severe, you would probably remember it, right? It's not like if i had AIDs i'd forget it anytime soon.

you didnt kill your father, cancer did. dont be so hard on yourself.

more like what mental illness don't I have!
I just got told bout it yesterday...it was a long word.disillusion......sumfin
it just a symptom of my depression.

[smashed glass]

argh, illness. where do i start???

Depression,
loads of ppl have it but as the depression form says, some people hve it worse than others.that being me.

Dissociative disorder
A dissociative disorder is the breakdown of one’s perception of his/her surroundings, memory, identity, or consciousness.
unfortunatly this is what causes my depression.
the kind of disorder i have increases chance of selfharm.

yup, this is what rules my life.

ok 4 your imfo, im not making it up, but i dunno what to actually call it. i have no money to get examined to see whats wrong with me. all i know is that i have a person, and someone said it sounded like it.

[Shaolin]

You know 99.999% of people who have schizophrenia don't actually know it's schizophrenia until they are diagnosed and even then they still might think they aren't ill.

Don't rely on what your "friend" says you have, a qualified psychatrist would do better.

[maximan]

hmm i think ill take part in this conversation!

I myself have been diagnosed with social anxiety and take zoloft for it. I tried to kill myself several times, and afterwards upped the dosage, and now im at a comfortable 50mg a night, and have no problems. in fact its been quite a while...almost a year! since ive felt and sadness out of the ordinary cycle of emotions called "life"

I'm also afraid of spiders. I saw one in my room one night and couldnt go to sleep until i killed it...i was up until 5AM until i gave up and just went and slept on the couch. yeah...that was fun :lol:

[angus]

oh i have obsesive compulsize (only minor) i am often washing my hands also fobias
this sounds strange (please do not laugh) i HATE answering machines some people i know have ben left messages of me screeming ang shouting over it I HATE THEM SO MUCH

[angus]

oh i forgot small places HATE THEM TOO i may sound like i hate alot but i like stuff to but that is a HUGE list

[kolte]

Look how old this is...almost a complete year! wow! anywho....I suffer from OCD but thats not why I first came here. I came to VT because my father suffers from a nasty case of schizophrenia and in fact he no longer recognizes me as his son. I was sad and felt like joining a site that helped me out.

[Whisper]

yes it is old.....and why is it in puberty

I'm sorry koler :hug:

[Ezz]

i think i dont.... i mean for now.....

haha

[grave]

I have bipolar.
