Medical Conditions?

No physical conditions as far as I'm aware of. Unless if you count me often growing lumps under my breasts a lot, which might have been genetic. And also having extremely fair skin that means I can't go out during the summer without sun protection.

Mentally though, you may have all heard by now that I have Autism, which I think I might have been diagnosed with when I was 3 or something (sorry couldn't remember how old I was but I was very young when I was discovered to have it) and most of the schools I attended were specifically for students with disabilities or special needs, one being a school entirely for autistic students.

I also suffer heavy bouts of anxiety, due to my troubled past where I got bullied a lot. It's the reason I have a fear of going out in public due to fears of a bully attack and was also why I had to quit my job at a factory, I was simply not getting on with the co-workers, who were all like 20, 30 and even 40 years older than me hence causing an age barrier that I couldn't communicate with. My condition hasn't improved since because my brother still bullies me badly, but on a much scarier scale than my other cases because he calls me offensive names. Doesn't help that I'm physically not happy with my very unattractive look as well.

Oh, and I also suffer heavy anger episodes when I get bullied, the severity is very akin to bipolar disorder.
 
well i have depression and anxiety. it runs in my family.
 
I have some anxiety and OCD issues, but that's kept under control thanks to medication. I also have chronic eczema on my ears and forehead. I also have hand eczema, which gets really bad in the winter.
 
Technically, I have ADHD, anxiety, and depression.

Though, my depression I try to fix on my own, only took pills for that for a few months once, and my ADHD is somewhat better now that I'm older. Don't take anything for it anymore. I should do something about the anxiety, buuuut that requires money that I don't have. lmfao

I have nothing physical to touch on.
 
I don't have any serious medical conditions which I know of. My mother and grandmother has diabetes and my father has some minor cholesterol issues. I'm fine as of right now though.
 
I was diagnosed with ADHD & Bipolar as a child and Anxiety & Major Depression as a young teenager. I feel I have out grown my ADHD & Bipolar over the years though.
 
I hate threads like this but I always feel compelled to post in them. (；￣Д￣）

Physically, I'm pretty healthy. Except that time I 'effed up my ankle in the city last October. Heart conditions run in my family. My mom died three years ago from sudden Cardiac Arrest. So, you know, that only scares the living hell of out me. But no allergies or asthma or anything like that. No conditions that effect the "outside" of me. I did recently have a UTI though. Terrible. (,,Ծ‸Ծ,,)

Mentally, I've got my share. But who doesn't nowadays? Diagnosed, I have technically been labeled as bipolar, but I'm 100% convinced that this diagnosis came on the back of ill judgement as the hands of my psychiatric professionals and their very loose definition of manic-depression. I know I'm not bipolar and, even if I exhibited symptoms of it during the time of diagnosis (which, let's face it, what teenage girl isn't bipolar?), I am no longer. Yet, somewhere in the deep dark recesses of some abandoned hospital, there is a file with my name on it that says "bipolar". I am very much not okay with this fact.

Moving right along! I have, and very recently might I add, been diagnosed with severe (non-social) anxiety, which exacerbates a mild OCD. Although, I'm currently managing it on medication and doing exceptionally well. :) I'm actually very proud of myself. No one here is lying when they say that depression, bipolar disorder, or anxiety is hard to live with; and my anxiety is no exception to that. So I'm happy I took the initiative and found what I personally needed to heal. While I still have a way to go, and probably will for the rest of my life, I feel so much better as a person knowing I've taking the first step to better my quality of living.

Sincerely hope everyone finds their own path to recovery though. <3
 
Oh, and I also forgot to mention this, meaning I kinda lied about not having any physical issues. :P

I have hereditary sicklemia. That means that a little under half of all my blood cells are shaped in a crescent, known as sickle cell. Although I sometimes feel sudden pains in my arteries every so often, it's not dangerous, plus it makes me resistant from the malaria parasite. I'm also oddly resiliant to sickness in general. :D

The only downside is I can't have kids with a woman who also carries the disease without the baby being born with sickle cell anemia, where 85-95% of your blood cells are crescent-shaped. It's extremely painful and the blood clots will kill you without a transfusion every four months. :/
 
I don't have any long-term medical conditions, but I did have a cyst 10 years ago that required an emergency operation. Other than that, my mental state of being can change from time to time. Sometimes I feel like I suffer from subtle to serious signs of depression, but I've never been properly clinically diagnosed.
 
Social Anxiety along with Clinical Depression. But I make the best of it.

Physically I have something going on with my hair (I'm not sure if it's male-pattern or what) and I'm waiting to get that diagnosed. I also have a fairly weak lung capacity since I was born at 32 weeks. I snapped one of my wrists clean in half when I was 13 years old so that's ****ed up. I can't play tennis for example because the vibrations from the racquet are really hard on my wrist. I think that's it though.
 
I don't have any medical conditions physically that I know, but I have 2 mental conditions: OCD and Bradyphrenia. The OCD kicked in mysteriously around 2007, and as for Bradyphrenia, unknown. Bradyphrenia is where I have a slow thought process, so communication can be quite an issue.
 
Physical conditions? The only thing that I have are allergies to certain airborne stuff, such as pollen. Other than that, I'm the picture of health from that standpoint.

Mentally, on the other hand, is a completely different story. I have Asperger's, & it makes me feel as if my brain is poisoned, & that there's no antidote for it. I also happen to have this Bradyphrenia, as far as I know - I have a lot of trouble making my own decisions, & I have a hard time with real-life conversations, with regarding as to what I should say.

Lastly, I have a lot of self-hatred, which is stemmed from the fact that I don't like being a human. It has led to me being on the suicidal side of things, & the only reason why I haven't done myself in in the past would be my survival instincts holding those tendencies at bay.
