We were discussing "hoarding" in the "Throw It Away" thread and now we are curious about disorders.  Are there more now than there used to be or have we just learned to define behaviors after examining them under a magnifying glass to the point of obsession (a disorder in itself?).  People used to do much more physical labor ... did that help?  Does it matter that we now sit at computers and, many of us, get little exercise?  Too much time to deliberate about our psychoses?

I laughed recently when my son said, "I'll get my homework done soon....I have to get my ADD under control."  He and his friends have decided that everyone has ADD to some degree, and that every person is responsible to recognize his "ADD Moments" and learn how to manage them.

Anyway...here's a place to discuss disorders, their management, enabling, general mental quirks and the like.

OH...what I meant by the physical labor...not the exercised helped them..but they had to work more toweards the survive or die goal and didn't have time to sit around worrying about which set of initials was crippling them that day...
(wow that sounded mean...I didn't mean it to.)

Uh...yeah...I knew that.  (really, I did).

Let's see.

I have an unhealthy obsession with cults, an unhealthy attraction to teenage girls, an unhealthy attraction to older women, and an unhealthy interest in paranoid styles of thinking. I drink too much, and am uncomfortably curious about what taking heroin might be like. I tend to be a perfectionist about things that dont matter, like playing guitar or writing 6000-word reviews of stupid monster movies, and terribly lax about things that do, like performing my job well and paying bills on time. I accumulate useless items.

Oh, and I sorta think I might be a woman trapped in a man's body.

Hey! this would make a pretty good personal ad.

Well sure!  Someone had mentioned doing a 00s Dating Service.  The profile questions could include a thorough description of all disorders.

I'm obsessive, but can be kinda, how to say.. flakey kinda.
I'll get obsessed with things, that'll be all I think about, then I gradually come down from it.

Oh! And I admire inventively bizarre forms of sexual perversion. Can't believe I forgot that one. My favorites are nasophilia (sexual attraction to noses, which to me makes perfect sense, as noses are quite beautiful) and industrial fetishes (for instance, a man once fell in love with a small Caterpillar earthmover after repeatedly using it as an aid in autoerotic hanging).

I have no idea why so much pornography is so repetitive and boring when the human race is so wonderfully creative. Mark me down as a proud nasophile.

Gotta agree with that.

Won't go in to some of my errrm.. niche areas but let's just say creativity is missing.

I dunno if those would be a disorder or not.

Auto-Erotic Asphyxiation? I mean.. you're doing damage obviously, what if you couldn't stop?

There's a brilliant mr. bungle song about goofing up autoerotic hanging. People are always goofing it up and getting found dead, hanging in their basement dressed like dr. frankenfurter.

Which is why I only do it on public beaches with lifeguards present.

Hey, me too, Captain!  ;)


Good company.

Maybe it's human nature, I dunno.

I will literally not stop thinking about whatever it is, everything, will relate to it.

You the same way?

I'm not obsessive. Ummm...Con, help me out. Can it be possible there is NOTHING wrong with me?

well.. ok besides the vanity and the laziness and ultra-top-secret-privacy.

Well, I can be intensely focused on a project and its every detail.  But then if I must turn my attention to something else, I can totally forget about the first thing.  Completely dismiss it from my mind even if at one point I thought it was the most important thing I could do.  So it's very important for me to write things down.  Then, I remember what I've been up to (that is, if I remember to look at the list). ::)

OK...(actually this is faster than me just saying this in an IM that would get sent to everyone anyway)
lets see...
little trust issue, chronic procrastination (mike, i can't believe i actually mailed you something!)
intermittent hopelessness and irrational fears...a poor command of the language, vagueness...

AND a bunch of stuff you guys said too:
an attraction to cults and ufos and sheer fear of both (okay, a pinch of what you guys said)
i never pay bills on time and have pondered heroin as well. i approach them both the same way, with utter fear
few goals and a rediculously bright outlook that is bound to collapse on me at any time...welll, it did last week but it's back and better than ever.
and i used to think i was a woman trapped in a mans' body too.

I happen to know for a fact I'm more well-adjusted than, like, two-thirds of the people on this board, which makes the silence particularly galling.

Funny, that.

Here's my hesitancy.  I keep having this sneaking feeling that one of my kids will show up here.  It prevents me from revealing the complete story  :-X

For the most part, I've worked really hard to be free of my worst junk (they don't let you into grad school for counseling psychology if you haven't worked through your own sh**).

I have a similiar fear of people in general finding me on here - revealing thoughts they never knew about me, or just realising what a real nut cake I truly am. I guess I've got a bit of paranoia in me.  I may have held back myself on things I'd like to explain better, but sometimes I feel some things are better left unsaid - just to feel you're not dishonoring someone or revealing personal things to others who don't know you too well. I suppose I'd want the same.

Sure.  Like that.
This forum has a wide range of ages and my oldest is 16.  It wouldn't be that weird for him to end up here.  And it wouldn't take long for him to figure out who CeeKay is.  On other forums, that are more specific in topic, I might be more comfortable speaking the full truth.  But then again...on other forums, I wouldn't be considering whether or not to describe my psychological dysfunctions or sexual curiosities (if I had any, of course  ;)) .

p.s.  I will say, though, that I have never felt like a woman in a man's body.  I've never been manly in any way.  Which is neither here nor there but it's being discussed so I might as well jump in with my two cents.

Hmm. Maybe I'm just heterosexual. That hadn't occurred to me.

NO kidding...
Like what I just wrote isnt outrageously limited and edited and lacking.
HOWEVER, if i like you and you want to know, i might disucss things in private...
otherwise, that's all ya get.

Let's see...

I HAVE to be early for everything.  I mean, I can not be on time, in my head that's just like being late.  I need to be at least 15 minutes early.  Also, if I have an appointment in the morning I must get everything ready the night before so that I won't be late.

I can not wear anything that hasn't been ironed (except for things like panties and bathing suits).

I've never tried any hard drugs, not because I didn't want to but because I know that I'd like them too much.  I don't drink much any more because I enjoyed it way too much.

Also, when I was younger I had a borderline eating disorder (thanks to my mom and her fear of me being fat...she was overweight as a kid).  I would fast and take fiber pills to feel full.  I'm better now, more or less.  I still find myself not eating when stressed or sometimes eating way too much. 

Okay, seriously, I do have mild ADD, really.

And when my kids are not here with me....I usually schedule all my time because otherwise, when I'm home alone, sometimes I can't do anything at all but check e-mail or watch tv.  (which may be normal for some of you but I usually want to accomplish things but I'm not able to do it).

Also, there are some basic things I cannot do, like call the car insurance company.  Complete anxiety.  Therefore, my car still has a bunch of dings in the hood from a big hail storm two years ago.

I used to live in complete denial of my own anger....but I've been able to deal with that somewhat in the past few years and am doing much better now.

Is that a good start?

The little gender sign by your name says you're a male.  Are you sure you know what sex you are?  ;)

I don't think I have a disorder; which is wierd cuz I always thought if anyone should have one, i should...

but now that i'm reading all this, i realise that what i thought was incorrect.  how unusual and amazing would the world be if I were the sane one!

if you define disorder as a thing that disables you and interrupts your day, (and your sleeP)- and how you function...then i might really ahve to say no./

can this be right?

I'm pretty sure I have ADD as well.  I get sidetracked so easily, it's not even funny.  Although, I'm pretty good at multi-tasking....then again, I have a tendency to start something and not finish it.

I also have BDD and have battled some eating disorders.  The ED I pretty much have under control now, but the BDD isn't. :-\\

I can answer this but....not right now.  So I'm responding here to move it to the most current page and I'll be back later.  For now I'll give you this:

Personality disorders are mental disorders with inflexible, enduring, maladaptive patterns of adjustment to life that cause either subjective distress or significant impairment of adaptive functioning.

To some extent, I assumed our definition here would be a bit flexible.  But to be serious, for myself, my ADD (though mild) is legitmate.  And the most severe thing in my life has been a pattern of denial in response to certain types of stressors/traumas/emotions (which I didn't even know about for a long time because...well...it's DENIAL, that's the point!).

More on you later  ;)

About an erratic gait related to Asperger's?  No.  My understanding of Asperger's is that it's behavioral.  The person is usually quite intelligent but has trouble with social skills and relating to others.  They might have one or two subject areas or skill areas in which they excel and once they get focused, it's difficult to get their attention.  But the real key is that struggle with socializing.

that is hysterical...i had completely forgotten about it..
oh man.
i'm going to laugh all night about it.

One time at work, maybe 12 years ago or more, I had a panic/anxiety attack at work and my 2 friends/supervisors complied with my desire to go to emergency because I was *dying* or something bad was happening. Of course nothing was wrong, but i hyperventilated and the doc gave me a paper bag to breathe in which worked well in that situation until my 2 friends walked in and saw me breathing in the bag and with all the sensitivity they could muster, they broke into laughter and to this day we laugh our asses off when we recall that episode. It was quite embarrassing.  :-[

A guy I work with had that.  He kept making excuses for staying home.  We all thought he was up to something really bad.  But it turned out he was having anxiety attacks and was embarrassed to tell us.  When it all came out in the open, we said, "oh, is that all?"  He got some meds and now he's fine and we're having a great time. 

Sorry you had to go through that though.  Hope it's all okay now.

thanks, while this one episode can be looked back on and laughed at, many suffer from this disorder and meds and therapy are good things. I had em pretty bad for awhile and still don't know what triggered them, except my job used to be very stressfull, now I have a job i love and don't have the anxiety. I know others that have this and agree it can be quite crippling and hard to explain to someone what the problem is, but as long as ya got mother's little helper, everythings gonna be ok.  8)

Sometimes I feel that way at my current job. I'm in Sales and sometimes the pressures of being a "salesman" can be very aggravating, especially when goals are constantly given and you can't meet expectations - EVER! You have a drive for it and then soon you easily go on burn out. I'm on burn out. My throat gets a choking feeling now at times because it stresses me so much. I think I had a semi-panic attack 3 years ago which casued me to stay a couple hours in my car and get myself under control.

It is truly amazing how a job or career change can have such an impact on our well being. I know it saved my ass!! Stress is hard to manage if you have to be in a environment you don't really like. good luck with future job pursuits.

well, let's see....I suffer from stress/panic attacks....I let everything get to me, and then it ends up building up inside and I get way too nervous.

I know I have a bit of OCD....just ask Beth what it is like to be around me sometimes ;)

I know that I have hypothyroidism....I wasn't formally diagnosed...but I have 99% of all of the symptoms.

i used to have panic attacks in college, racing heart, shortness of breath, ineffable feeling of imminent death, convinced i was gonna have a heart attack, all that crappy stuff. funny thing is, i'd get em in class and stuff and what would i do? get up and go to the bathroom. cuz i was too embarrassed to up and die in a class full of people, i'd go somewhere where i'd be sure and keel over unobserved and no one would get help for me for like hours. sorta like that sad story of the dude who started choking at a restaurant, just went to the bathroom and quietly died, so as not to cause undue fuss.

anyway, all that's over now and as badfinger fan astutely points out, i am currently pure as the driven snow and kkay and i are a perfect match.

I have no idea why so much pornography is so repetitive and boring when the human race is so wonderfully creative. Mark me down as a proud nasophile.

And one bit of advice:  If you have ADD, don't marry an OCD.  It's just asking for big trouble.

So If I married Robin who has Aspergers and I have OCD and we decided to have a baby would our child be all fuked up? ???

You'd have to consult a geneticist.  I have no idea what the chances are that you'd pass these along...or even if they are genetic (though I think so).  But then again, as you can see, we all have our disorders or our quirks and here we are having our lives with many wonderful moments.  nobody's perfect.  Love your wife, love your children, help them out in any way you can -- that's life.

the  baby may be inflicted with AFU but hopefully not.
