Is anyone out there mentally ill? Like, diagnosed? I was looking for a thread about it, but I couldn't find anything (it's completely possible that I just don't know how to work the search function). I've been diagnosed with ADHD, severe depression, and schizophrenia. Is there anyone else like me out there, or should I just sink back into the shadows and pretend I never asked?

Clinically diagnosed with depression from a young age over here. Went in and out of therapy through most of my adolescence and once we ran out of money I just kinda learned to live with it. It's kind of like a friend who crashes on your couch "until next week" but he's just kind of there 24/7 eating all the food and making everyone uncomfortable.
Sometimes I try and get out with friends to keep my mind off of it but lately I've been having really bad anxiety so with the exception of my boyfriend and some online friends, I've been really distant.
I dunno I'm rambling at this point.

Severe depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, DID, social anxiety, generalized anxiety and I also suffer from panic attacks daily.
I was diagnosed with depression when I was about 12 or 13 so I've been living with it for almost 8-7 years now. The rest I wasn't officially diagnosed with till about 2 years ago. For several years I stopped going to therapy because of money issues and that I was to depressed to do anything about it. After high school I tried my best to get back to better health but not much worked till we found the big roots of the problem: bipolar, DID, and the social anxiety. I didn't develop PTSD until about a year and a half ago when I went through some heavy stuff.
Right now I'm in therapy once every two weeks (it'll be changing to once a month when I start work) and I take Lamictal as a mood stablizer, anti depressant, ect.
Sooo...yeeeaaa =X...I deal with life on a day to day basis and try to keep as happy as I can despite everything. Still hard but I've got a few better coping methods (I'm also recovering from self harm) so things don't get so bad as they used too. I still bottle a lot of things up, have at least 2-3 panic attacks daily, and sometimes it's hard for me to get out more than once or twice a week.

i've been diagnosed w/ ADD/sluggish cognitive tempo.
i took adderall for awhile, because i originally took it without a prescription and thought it was absolutely amazing and helped so much. after being prescribed it, though, the helpfulness didn't last long and it eventually made me feel absolutely awful. i used to think it was a miracle drug but now i practically equate it with the devil )~:
then i took ritalin, but that didn't last long. that immediately made me feel terrible too. since then i just haven't been seeking any kind of help for my ADD symptoms, especially since i haven't been in school for a year. but it definitely gets in the way of life outside of school, too.
also am pretty sure i have social anxiety and very confident i am depressed, but too afraid to discuss it with professionals

I've been diagnosed with severe clinical depression and social anxiety/general anxiety. Therapy never helped, but I was on citalopram for about a year before I stopped taking it (it was beginning to make me feel much worse so I went off it, exactly like you're not supposed to do oops). When it was working it really helped with both. I still had depressive lows, but I also had the capacity to feel okay and even happy, which had never happened before. The anxiety was reduced to the point where it was non-issue in my day to day life.
After going off the citalopram, the depression is the same as ever, actually worse now due to new health problems (you try being in a good mood when you're in pain literally constantly). But, weirdly enough, the anxiety hasn't come back. It's still as good as it was when I was on the meds. I can talk in front of groups, I can go to supermarkets, I can talk to new people, all without having anxiety attacks. So that's... good. Odd that it was permanently cured by a temporary fix, but I'm not going to complain.
