Without a doctor diagnosing you it would be impossible to tell if you suffered from all of these. It is possible to have multiple diagnoses. I would encourage you to find a doctor and get properly diagnosed.

it's a scary thing to have to do, but i do agree that seeking a proper diagnoses would be encouraged

have you seen anyone before or even told anyone outside PC

good luck..

I'd see a doctor to make sure.

Yeah definitely get checked out just to confirm. The more you /think/ you have something you might even delude yourself into symptoms.
I thought I was borderline but it was just effects of starting my medication.

its called comorbidity

In medicine, comorbidity is the presence of one or more additional disorders (or diseases) co-occurring with a primary disease or disorder; or the effect of such additional disorders or diseases. The additional disorder may also be a behavioral or mental disorder.

I'm really not ashamed or embarrassed. pretty open.

i know for a fact i have depression (questiong the bipolar part), i know i have anxiety, and i KNOW i have shift with sleep disorder (but i think i have narclopesy). i know because i was diagnosed with these issues.

I'm pretty open with everything. if you ask if i take xanax ill say yeah. if you ask if i have anxiety ill say yeah. But only a few people do i tell that i have depression (and a potential of autism? ill see lol), they gotta be close for me to tell that. but not extremely close. just enough to trust haha

oh, I'm also a medical marijuana patient. and thats the one thing that i have to be VERY CLOSE to someone about in order to tell them. That's my biggest, dirty secret. Probably a surprise for my mom and family (my dad and step mom know, thats it), and probably even a bigger surprise knowing thats my only big secret. I assume most people think I'm gay or 'know' I'm gay. but I'm not gay hahaha. I know that if i began the sentence "i need to tell you something important and serious", most people will think I'm going to say "I'm gay" but in reality ill say "i have a med marijuana card". cause the first one aint ever happening because I'm not gay! sorry, that was a bit more of a rant i think? haha but yeah, most people assume that and i hate that. I'm straight, i just don't have the biggest libido out there (i barely have a libido. yes. I'm 19 year old male, and yes, i do have low testosterone. but not enough for the doctors to do anything about it. its on the lowest end of 'normal'.).

what state are you in for medical marijuana?
marijuana helps my symptoms a great deal but here in virginia its impossible to get legally
thanks for sharing

im pretty open too, i just dont tell everything... i usually just say im bipolar, more simple rather than trying to explain the complex comorbidities i have

[-jimi-]

I have Asperger's and ADD and that does make me more prone to depression, anxiety disorders and sleep disorders so it's not so weird I have a bit of each. It sort of fits.
