(Sorry if this is on the wrong forum)
The question is pretty self explanatory, does anyone have any Personality Disorders and/or Mental Illnesses? Well, I do. I have mild Schizoid personality disorder, although it's getting stronger. It's basically that I don't really "feel" emotions, I like it when I am alone a lot, and as such don't have much friends. I also tend to feel threatened or intimidated by people, and as such I am very shy. (Although this could be another thing)

I actually have Melancholic personality that is by default described as: shy,bad social interaction,tendency to be a genius,depression,pessimism,create an imaginary world,weak self knowledge,hard forgiving,good memory,like order and beauty,very creative(creativity also makes you like Rock and Metal more,and like drawings,paintings basically art).

So remember if you are shy does not mean you are ill (because I thought I had some mental illness because I was shy) it means you are an Melancholic personality(most of the times).

Does being addicted to chemicals count? You name it, I have most likely been addicted to it at some point. I am currently struggling with a 3+ energy drink a day habit. However, I have been addicted to some pretty bad stuff in my life if you think energy drinks are weak. I refuse to go into further details because I want to leave all of that in the past where it belongs.

I have trouble posting in most of the serious threads because my entire life is one gigantic broken mess. I used to blame people for my problems (and on a random day I can still lean in that direction) but deep down I know the fault lies solely with me. There is some debate in the medical community as to whether addiction is an illness. I think that in certain people the addiction gene is present and it becomes active when these people use for the first time. 

I just don't want to get altered anymore. I don't like what or who I've become.

Anyway, that sucked.

Autism is not a mental illness. People's ignorance about it increases the chance of mental illnesses but that's a whole different ball game.

Autism is more "Wire X is connected to plug Y instead of to Plug X". It's the brain being wired differently.

Sometimes you can get personality disorders that can co-morbidate with Autism but one doesn't always mean the other.

I have antisocial personality disorder and minor OCD.

First of all, I'd like to point out that "disorder" is a subjective term. Some things that people consider to be "disorders" I actually think are strengths to their character, and some things that people typically consider to be good character traits I find to be big negatives.

Anyway, My family has a history of serious depression and anxiety disorders which I have certainly not been immune to, but fortunately these days there are serious depression and anxiety medications you can take , though medication can only do so much(and self medicating only made it worse).

Depression is a HUGE problem that's growing bigger, and I think the worst part about it is that it's taboo to talk about it, and that goes with any mental disorder.

The shrink said something but I forgot what it was and I dont see her anymore. The army doctor jabbered on about something too but it was not enough to get me discharged.

Memory loss of some kind maybe?

Well I don't know if we can ask such questions but I do not have any . But I have been calle crazy and mad ... but I know I am slightly crazy . It is not an illness though . Just me being me

Touchy subject this is. 

I don't know if ADD and ADHD count, but apparently I cant focus on one thing forever because some noise or something in the corner of my eye moves an I focus on that instead. This is why I don't like to participate in TDV because I don't have the attention span enough to do so an actually win (Yellow Jersey is mine right now. I don't even know how I got it. I've become addicted to posting. LOL). 

If not then I actually have an social anxiety issue. That  is why I tend to be online more then outside. I can be with small groups of people that I know, but the mall, no. I want to get in and out as fast as  possible. I hate places where the people are foreign to me. I cant stand it. XD

I have ADD. Might be ADHD, not sure. Attention deficit disorder i think? Or something among those lines :/

I was thought to have ADHD but I don't believe I have anything of the sort, I just got really bored and I didn't like school so I goofed off. I do, however, have a problem where I can't stop moving. If I am not really doing anything (sitting in the car, not really paying attention to what the teacher is saying or what is on the TV, etc.) I start to bite my fingernails or I pop my knuckles or something. Right now I am tapping my foot on the desk I am sitting at and I didn't even realize it until just now, I don't know if this counts but it's called something like self-stimulation. 

Well I have not been diagnosed with anything, but I probably have OCD and ADD. I have trouble concentrating at school sometimes and I am always playing with my pen or whatever else happens to be near me. I also get uncomfortable about certain things like if the volume on the TV is at an odd number.

Yep every sense I was a kid I have had major depression. I was also diagnosed with Bipolar disorder at age 5 later in my years re diagnosed with a mood disorder. I used to have so many problems.. it was hard for me to get along with others as well. It all started when I was about 8 really.. my major problems set in. My family and I were pretty much always abused by my father because he is an alcoholic.. I remember plates being thrown around and fights going on between my mom and dad. My mom stayed in the relationship with him for 18 years walking on egg shells it seemed. We finally moved and got out of it .. then when I turned 8 my mom met a guy who I hated then because I didn't understand who this man was and .. it seemed I just wanted my parents to get back together. I threw major fits .. caused problems.. the house was always in a up roar because of me. I had just made my first best friend in 2nd grade and the next thing I knew we had to move to Nebraska .. because my mom and step dad were gonna get married and he was orginal from Nebraska.. it was horrible.. I did make some friends there but I was always still a trouble maker.. I devoleped a crush on a guy and to find out he just said I was ugly and made fun of me in front of everyone.. this was 3rd grade year though so it was just kids.. you know. We finally moved back down to where we were from because that is where all our family was and we were missing them a lot. I then started to get very violent.. and I would hit my sisters my step dad.. I was just messed up in awe. Then one day I did something bad and punched my step dad because he wouldn't get out of my face which now I regret with all of my heart.. I was then put in a hospital.. I will always consider myself a lab rat growing up because they could never find something that would work on me until I was 12 even then I was still having problems. I to this day feel like that hospital abused me when it came to my medeicne.. yes I was young, yes I had many problems but I knew what I was talking about when I said.. to not give me my meds in the morning. Basically the medeicne I take makes me go to sleep and they decided oh lets see how it works even though I told them multiple times not to do it.. and look they expected me to do gym activities and be active .. what they didn't realize was that I was right... and I was not able to do anything.. as of my mediecne made me zone out and get very tired.. didn't sleep at night.. which leads me to think that is why I have developed my sleeping disorder. It seems now I never get any sleep.. and when I do it's way to much or way to little. The medicine I take is for my depression and mood swings and if I don't take it I stay up between 24-34 hours now. When I was 13 we started going to a church and I basically knew nothing about God I had so much to learn.. I didn't even know what being saved meant. I was taught all about it and one night we had a youth service. I remember sitting listening to the youth pastor preach and he called the alter. Then, I rememeber that I kept thinking I need to go up there and repent be saved.. god was starting to tug at my heart.. it took me a little but I finally went up there. I asked for forginess for all my sins.. and things I had did wrong.. I asked that I improve and start being better and doing better in the eyes of God. At that time I was saved.. it was like God had sat on me because I was face down and couldn't move.. even if I tried. It was the best feeling I have ever felt something that was amazing something that I wish I could feel 100 more times. After I was 13 and became saved I started changing my lifestyle.. treating others better and doing right. I still had so many mistakes yes.. but some of the things I was doing would be like for starters.. I never abused people.. and I started being so much more respectful to my family espescially. Things kept getting better and increasing with positivity. My step dad then left us when I was 14.. it was horrible.. I do still talk with him and I miss him so much.. sometimes I wish I could take back the past and re right it do different. My family has been in financial troubles for a long while now on and off it seemed... I even had to quit vizzed for several months because I had no Interent.. we could not afford to pay the bill. Things got really rough and are still rough but seem to somewhat be getting better. Me and my dad try to keep a cival relationship because the past was just bad between us.. I started living with him again when I was in about 8th grade.. I came home from school one day and was so upset because of how the kids at school were bullying me he had some whisky.. which makes him tick and tick easily.. I don't know what I was doing except crying because of the horrible day I had.. the next thing I know he is cussing me with every name in the book telling me how worthless I am how sad of a person I am.. and just made feel like nothing.. I was crying I ran up the road to my grandmas called mom and she came and got me.. It seems I just got out of a horrible relationship to but sense I have been out of it the past month it has been so great for me.. I have turned so positive .. looked so bright and have become so much happier. I strive to live for God and do better.. make better choices.. yes I make mistakes we all do because we are human. I will keep praying and talking with God every day because it makes me feel closer with him.. it seems my whole life is starting to shape up now that I'm 18. Things seem to be really fitting.. I never fight with anybody.. I never have many aruguments.. I love challaneing and opening up to people so much more than I used to! It's amazing how much more social I am! I can't wait until I'm so high on that mountain that I can't fall off no matter what. I have made so many great friends here with Vizzed as well and .. so many have encouraged me and helped me with things from my past to over come them and be better. I am so happy it seems these days.. yes I still have problems but at least I don't have horrible mood swings like I used to and I never get depressed.. unless something depressing happens which is not a lot and the only negative is my sleep.. I am like wat is sleep now... because honestly I am forgetting what it is. I hope you find my post some what encouraging or helpful.. you are not the only one on vizzed with disorders. <3
