Bipolar

Danny you ain't a nut job. Everybod is different. I just call them quirks. It is what makes us different from each other.

I panic about cinemas due to me smoking. Not due to the fact I would want a fag, but what happens if I have a coughing fit. Would I get kicked out? Would people boo. It's looks so stupid when you type it out.

I am the opposite with busy places. Busy places calm me down. If I go into a shop and it's only me and sales people. I start to freak out as I can't mingle. 95% of the stuff I buy is online.

I think anyone who suffers from anxiety,depression or similar should go to a group. It is awesome :)

Random wiki of the day

BringTheRain.. Random question but are you right or left handed? and can you mirror write? (an example of mirror writing)

Just tried it, I can do it. But doesn't look as good as yours. I am right handed :D Righty's rule :p
 
Ahh that isnt mine. It was a pic of the internet i reuploaded so there site didnt crash or something.

well now you know you can do it you have to up it a notch!

Use 2 pens.. Write forward with your left and mirrored with your right and meet in the middle. (i can do that too and the otherway around) Its an excelent trick to show people. a lot of people actualy struggle with reading mirror writing. Its even less common to be able to do it to a high standard.
an informal Australian newspaper experiment identified 10 true mirror-writers in a readership of 65,000

So, this thread has renewed my curiosity, and I've just been looking into OCD a little, and apparently OCD can often manifest in people with other conditions, social anxiety being one of them. So, it may be something to just bear in mind, but it sounds like you're getting that side of things under some kind of control anyway.

I've also learned about a condition I hadn't heard of before, OCPD (Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder), which differs from OCD in that while people with OCD feel the need to perform a ritual, because not doing so causes anxiety, OCPD is more closely related to enjoying perfectionism and obtaining complete order, possibly feeling compelled to make lists and schedules. That is, OCPD manifests as a person finding pleasure in perfecting something, wheras OCD is suffering anxiety if you don't do something.
 
I've struggled with depression and anxiety for years. I don't know anything about bi-polar disorder but I certainly don't get the highs they apparently do. There is a huge stigma attached to depression, as ilustrated by some of the posts here but I dont give a damn what people think.
 
Meh. Most people dismissing depression and other mental illness should just count themselves lucky that they've never experienced it. I'm not going to waste effort trying to describe something horrible that they refuse to acknowledge.

If i'm honest "I don't give a damn what people think" is how i try to function now. I try and tell myself that a lot and just do whatever i want. It is working to some degree! I try to put everyone's feelings below my own and carry on. Its a strange way to work but it does seem to help me with day to day things.

No mate still deal with it. Top marks for getting ontop of your debt, dont think I could cope.

Ah thought maybe you don't suffer any more. It must get easier as you go on though? This is the first time I have ever done anything about bipolar etc.

I do sometimes wonder if I did the right thing with the debt. I could have just gone bankrupt. But that's not me tbh. At the moment I am about 50 points into the excellent category for the credit report. So to have that as well is worth it :D

Not trolling but people really need to get a grip. This topic just justifies what a made up cop out 'illness' this really is.

I get excited when a new computer game comes out. I like spending money. I like drinking alcohol and if i had huge debts i would probably worry. However there's nothing wrong with me.

..... oh hang on i'm really really excited for Battlefield 3 , i'm really really excited. Might phone in sick for work tomorrow because i'm ill! ... get a grip people ....

Just because mental illness can't be seen, doesn't mean it isn't there. I really do hope you never succumb to some sort of mental illness, because it can be made much, much worse by the ignorant people like yourself.

I'm not going to dignify this post with any more than this: You don't know what you are talking about.
