Are you diagnosed with a mental illness?

[Halfhourdays]

Are you bipolar, schizophrenic, etc.?

 

[Namelesa]

I am diagnosed with depression and anxiety. I was also diagnosed with an eating disorder but I have recovered from that. Multiple doctors have also suspected me to have BPD but not confirmed.

 

[GhostInTheMachine]

I have never been diagnosed for anything outside of gender dysphoria, mainly because I avoid therapists like the plague. I don't think I'd accept any diagnosis that they would've given me anyways.

 

[worthless creature]

i got my discharge paperwork from my last pysch stay.
i am diagnosed with BPD, GAD (just generalized anxiety disorder), ED (ano), and MDD.

 

[northevelyn]

I've been diagnosed with BPD, PTSD, C-PTSD, GAD, and MDD

 

[Nobody'sHero]

When I was a teenager I was diagnosed as bipolar after a suicide attempt and got recommended pills. I never took them and have not seen any type of therapist. I believe they don't know shit and cannot help as they do not know my situation and cannot put themselves in my shoes. I also believe psychology is a spiritual weapon designed to seek for outliers and keep them in check. Being "normal" is not questioning your reality, not seeking further, accepting what you are told. When you diverge from this you are diagnosed...

That being said, I do understand that some people genuinely need medication, but I think that is rare and not needed for most cases...

 

[BloomingAzaleas]

DID, BPD, double depression (persistent depression x major depression) is all

 

[Forever Sleep]

Only mild to moderate depression years ago. Not sure I'd even fit the diagnosis now.

I've more or less diagnosed myself with issues that aren't exactly healthy though- social anxiety, limerence and borderline eating disorders in the past.

 

[allmylife]

Nothing more than mild depression.

 

[Ariii]

Nope, never even had my mental health evaluated besides those depression surveys they had me fill out as routine check up. In a particularly bad period of my life when I was 14, my mom almost forced me to get actual help. I wonder if things would be different if I'd just accepted the help

 

[Arrival03]

Anxiety, but that was almost a decade ago so I don't know if it still counts.

 

[dead dav]

Clinical depression and anxiety 5 years ago

 

[OptingOutSmiling]

Depression years ago, after an attempt, but don't think it was valid. Haven't seen anyone since or about current issues.

 

[pauly369]

Clinical depression, anhedonia, CPTSD, depersonalisation, derealisation disorder.
Im fucked.

 

[Apokryphiel]

I've been diagnosed with a few different things. I suspect there's more I'd need to see a therapist for, as nothing makes sense to me anymore. But things are long past the need of that.

 

[Spicy Tteokbokki]

Depression > Bipolar II > Schizotypal > ????
Always been told I have a lot of other things too but not enough to warrant a diagnosis as everything under the sun fits under schizotypal (with a ton of traits from autism to adhd to borderline to...), except recently where the psych suggested DID I guess, but cannot get DID diagnosis here anyway as it doesn't exist in this system so kinda rip in that regard.
I've been fighting my schizotypal diagnosis for some years as well as I heavily disagree with it and even my psych said that so far while I have some few traits from it I don't exactly seem to fit it that well, especially as I lack kinda the core things about that diagnosis..

 

[whiskers]

Not diagnosed, but I might be on the autistic spectrum

 

[EvisceratedJester]

I was diagnosed with GAD, OCD, and MDD, though these are all misdiagnoses made over the span of a very short-period of time back when I was around 15-years-old. The more I learned about these disorders, the more it became clear that I did not suffer from any of them.

 

[FoxSauce]

I've been diagnosed with MDD BPD and GAD

 

[TotalEclipse]

Severe MDD, DID, ptsd

 

[Mary Janex]

Agoraphobia, depression, dpdr (a dissoative disorder)

 

[Grav]

Anxiety, major depression, autism.

 

[1997]

I was diagnosed with Autism and ADD when I was little.

 

[BeyondOver]

bipolar

 

[Dark Moon]

Autism and depression. I don't want to share anything else.

 

[lostintheloop]

Been treated for depression in the past , everyone was talking as if i had it, was on antidepressants for it, had therapy for it, even saw a specialist for treatment resistant depression. Later found out mh services never actually diagnosed it as they said my presentation was too complex to fit depression but that they couldnt decide on any other label
So never had any 'formal' MH diagnosis despite being under services for several years

Not a mental illness but do have autism diagnosis

 

[Pluto]

 

[Zoro1029]

Anxiety and MDD. I had an episode of psychosis that my pysches thought may have been schizophrenia or Bi Polar but they didnt end up thinking it was one of them. On lithium know which is helping so I'm wondering if that means Bi Polar is still a possibility.

 

[loser4ever4life]

Autism is the only one thats diagnosed.

I have frequent depressive and anxious episodes, but then also euphoric states right after. So some kind of personality disorder but could bipolar/borderline

Don't care to stick around and find out anymore lol

 

[NonEssential]

No, because I don't even know how I'd even go about getting checked out for any of that. I'm only diagnosed with epilepsy and that's because I had to be taken to the hospital via an ambulance after I had a seizure during sleep.
