Mental Problems

I have been diagnosed as clinically depressed and I am SO SICK of people going around claiming to be depressed and cutting themselves and then calling us actually depressed people posers and fakers and 'wemos' (wannabe emos) when we're on medication for it and their 'medication' is little cuts along their wrists and an addiction to Fall Out Boy. It's entirely annoying. Being depressed does not involve wearing skinny jeans and ski caps with little button pins all over them. That's a stupid stereotype that everyone seems to like to claim to be. People with actual mental illnesses are treated as outcasts while people who actually have them are called cruel names ('retarded', 'braindead', and 'emo' are a few of them). Why? Because people don't know what to say. Saying 'I'm emo' is so much easier than saying 'My doctor diagnosed me as clinically depressed and is considering putting me on Lithium'. Which is why I prefer to say the latter.

Nobody really notices when I'm emotionally unstable from the de-press-shon. Then again, I'm pretty isolated socially.

Current problem agitating me: Compulsory education. I'm just praying that the name plate on the social worker's door is a typo, since I didn't see anyone named that and I see the name I want in the student handbook.

In short, please let the next nine months be quick and painless, God. If you do, I'll build several churches in your honor.

I'm not OCD, but I do act like it a lot. I don't need stuff clean, but I do need it organized.

I don't think I have any problems. at least, I haven't been told. but I'm always fearful there's something I haven't been told. I can blame father for that.
I talk to people on the internet. everyone does. because he's never seen any of these people, or any of my local friends, he doesn't think I have any. like i'd introduce them to him. during the regular school 'what classes your kid is failing at' meeting, he changed the subject a lot, and somehow I got sent to the psychologist. how nice do you think it is getting pulled out of a lesson while everyone mutters "retard" under their breath?

I personally don't think I have any mental problems but I've been diagnosed to be borderline ADD once and minor ADD the second time. I had the chance to take Ritalin but my mom is against treating AD(H)D with drugs (my brother has ADHD and he hated taking Ritalin). I'm fine with that 'cause I'm pretty sure I don't have ADD anyways.

Sometimes I wonder if I have ataraxia. I haven't been stressed out, worried, angry, sad or annoyed for a few years now.

I have anorexia nervosa. First in!

Duecex2 · **Posted:** Thu Sep 20, 2007 8:16 pm

Well that's not good. Unless you were joking.

Marshmallow Roast · **Posted:** Thu Sep 20, 2007 8:22 pm

No, I really am anorexic. I only eat one small meal a day, and that's only because my parents make me.

Of course, I might have to increase my rations soon because we're doing some really heavy stuff in gym class. Augh. It hurts just to think about it.

Duecex2 · **Posted:** Thu Sep 20, 2007 8:40 pm

Well I hope you get better, Myrrh.

Marshmallow Roast · **Posted:** Thu Sep 20, 2007 8:49 pm

I don't think so. XD

I don't want to get better and even if I did I probably wouldn't be able to. It's hard to change this sort of mentality.

But thanks for the wishes. It means a lot to me.

...Do you even REALIZE how much danger you're putting yourself into?

As for me, I am still screwy in the head and still in therapy. And now I think I have a sleep disorder but I'm not sure if that counts as a mental problem.

I would give that about five facepalms if I could, but then Rammy would jump on me and be all "ASDSFSHFHSGHAAGAHGHAH WHAT DO YOU THINK UR DOIN EINOOOOOO????!?!?"

As for me, as far as I know I don't have any mental problems. 'Cept for ADHD, but that's actually pretty much completely under control now. In fact, most of the time I'm finding myself lacking energy and being totally lethargic. You should have seen me when I was 6... >_>

Probably.
My taste in music can widely be considered a mental problem.

It's okay to want to polka, Ninti. Everyone feels that way sometimes.

Winner! Now we need to find someone with a worse mental problem.

So, I'm still extremely anxious. Maybe I'll get so anxious I can't eat, and get down to 43 kilos again. That sounds like fun, and by fun I mean no fun at all.

Myrhh, my mother, my grandmother, and both my brothers had or still have eating disorders. It's a great strain on your body, physically and mentally. I really do think that you should talk to a professional about this. If it wasn't for my mother's doctor, my Mom might have died years ago. I really do pray for you, and pray that you get help.

Don't worry your not the only one with a eating disorder to have used this forum. Remember [name removed]? She has bulimia. She has sought treatment for it, but it is a constant struggle for her. Thr first thing you have to learn is that people love you for who you are and not what you look like.

ChickenLeg · **Posted:** Fri Sep 21, 2007 3:36 am

^Truth.

But it's also truth for old habits to die hard.

And who's [name removed]?

Beyond the Grave · **Posted:** Fri Sep 21, 2007 3:43 am

She was a user that left after being harassed on Gabbly by two jerkies who shall remain nameless.

I agree. The key to such things is to realize that you are a lovable person, regardless of your weight.

Also, if you really want to get solid control of your weight, don't starve yourself. Eat good, nutritious foods in decent quantity. Starving yourself only reduces your metabolism. It also deprives your body of essential vitamins and nutrients it needs in order to burn calories. In the end, starving yourself actually makes it harder to control your weight, not easier.

Myrrh, if you starve yourself you won't lose weight nearly as quickly as you would if you just ate healthier and with smaller portions.

When you don't eat, your body goes into survival mode. It tries to keep as much body fat as it possibly can. So when you don't eat, your body will make it even HARDER to lose weight.

Personally I like my girls with a little meat on 'em. (let's not go there, dude)., etc.

Yes.

Eat a little something every 3 or 4 hours, starting early in the morning.

Also, get active if you can.
30 minutes a day, maybe 4 days a week. Exercise boosts your metabaolism, even when you're not exercising.
