What most closely describes your mental health situation or diagnosis?

The poll is MULTIPLE CHOICE so you can pick more than one answer.

[stopdog]

Could you give an example of what you are asking? I don't understand. I don't have a diagnosis of any sort. Probably middle class ennui or whining. There is nothing really wrong in my life except feeling bad.

I picked the one that actually causes me problems. There is another one listed up there, but I don't think of it as a mental disorder. It's just who I AM.

This wasn't meant to be a philosophical debate....just what/who you are based on current social understandings to give us a better idea of who frequents here.

I think of myself as mentally healthy, which wasn't listed as a possible "mental health situation."
I think I have a diagnosis of ADHD (also not listed), but I'm not sure.
In therapy I work on family, relationship, and communication issues, grief, finding greater life happiness, etc.

Besides bipolar disorder, I deal with PTSD (not on the list).

[BlessedRhiannon]

Besides Anxiety, OCD, and eating issues (and, really, the OCD and eating issues are from anxiety, so it might be more proper for me to just say anxiety), I also deal with PTSD

[Screenager]

Depression, anxiety and some OCD and BPD traits.

[CantExplain]

I don't think of myself as sick any more.
I'm a bit different, and a bit insecure.
But isn't everyone?

Me too!

Most patients are middle class, so maybe that is their real problem.

On bad days, I would need a choice for "All of the above"

[autotelica]

I'm dysthymic.

Secondarily, I'm schizoid. Technically I'm supposed to give up this label and adopt "autism", as the two are considered mutually exclusive, but I like schizoid better. And I don't think they are mutually exclusive anyway. That's dumb.

Current Mental Health situation: Fighting against being labeled!

[Hope-Full]

Filled out the survey, but also have to add PTSD to the mix as well.

[Ike McCaslin]

Anxiety, with ADD, possibly dysthymia, but T didn't think so. Recently discovered transference for PDOC, which is driving me to drink. It sucks.

[Miswimmy1]

There wasnt a box for ADHD. But I hav that too

[TheWell]

I've been officially diagnosed with Dysthymia (low-level long term depression) and Borderline personality disorder. I have an atypical borderline personality, here's a good description...

High-Functioning, In-Acting: generally able to hold a job, keep things together; generally will “keep their cool” in a public forum like the workplace but will lash out him or herself in private over their anger and frustrations unspoken.

[WePow]

PTSD is my primary dx with DID being the result

[Victoria'smom]

Eating disorder, Bipolar & other. Pdoc & T wont elaborate on 'other' but I now see pdoc 3x more than I use to.

[adel34]

Good survey.
PTSD is also an issue I have.

[scorpiosis37]

I'm mentally healthy; no diagnosis. I'm in therapy to talk about some experiences I've been through and because I enjoy having an additional support outlet. And I'm on the forum because I've become absolutely fascinated with the therapy process.

Lol, Me too

On a serious note the ones listed are depression and personality disorder (BPD)

[suzzie]

have ptsd too.

[Gadgetsmile]

I haven't been diagnosed with anything other than depresson. But the mental health nurse thinks I definitely have PTSD, but she has to write reports on our appointments and then I will see a mental health doctor who will make the diagnoses. But she now thinks there is a strong possibility I have a mood disorder, which she will report and the doctor will decide whether I do or not... It's complicated
