Undiagnosed Disorders Tropers, UNITE!

Why is this thread?

-_- apparently I didn't explain it thoroughly enough on the last page.

I'm almost certain I have aspergers. I've always been pretty blunt, even moreso when I was younger, and I can adapt to change fairly easily, but I've realized that's probably just because I've gotten older and learned to deal with it. And of course, there's the social awkwardness, although that's actually gotten worse over the years. I was pretty outgoing unti junior high or so.

Oh. I read the title wrong. I understood it as Tropers with no disorders. Well, carry on.

Well, I' pretty sure I'm at least depressed, explaining suicidal thoughts. I have anger problems, and I can see most all the symptoms of several disorders in myself. On the other hand, I might be a hypochondriac (I think that's what it is).

Probably ADD,(again, not this.) and maybe depression. I'm getting a test next Wednesday to find out the ADD thing.

Probably have GAD and dyspraxia (also known as Clumsy Child Syndrome). Between the anxiety bouts, the klutziness, the bad short-term memory and the various scars and bruises...yeah. And I talk to myself too much...is there a disorder for that?

From what I know, self-diagnosing mental disorders is a pretty bad idea.

I think that if people are willing to post this kind of thing on the internet, and don't intend to get properly diagnosed, then are completely fine with how they are and just want people to be aware they are a little different and that they don't necessarily think it's a bad thing.

I am pretty convinced myself that I am clinically insane but no one believes me. However, I think I would be lonely without the voices and I don't want some doctor to take them away from me. They are my friends. I have real friends too but they don't understand my emotional or psychological state at all. Haven't managed to scare anyone way with my talk of voices or that no one exists yet, though.

But yeah, if people want to find others who think like them then what better place to find them. And think about it this way; there are more "freaks" and "weirdos" in the world than these so called "normal people" that doesn't it make the normal people the freaks and weirdos and the true freaks and weirdos the normal people?

Idiopathic hypoparathyroidism sufferer. Have to take 1 capsule/day of Magnesium Glycerophosphate and 2 of alfacalcidol (different doses), while the hypoparathyroidism is diagnosed - what causes it isn't. "idiopathic" is medical for "no known cause." Essentially, part diagnosed but not completely. And a bloody geneticist said I had De-George syndrome (I didn't buy that for a second, looking at the symptoms.) WITHOUT any genetic evidence.

I am 100% positive I have anxiety, OCD, depression, and some form of ADD/ADHD. But I have only been diagnosed with Asperger's...

Hi, people. I might have anxiety and ADD. I used to have a little bit of depression but I got over it.

So I've been suspecting for years now I may have undiagnosed ADHD - I already got diagnosed with autism as a kid but suspecting I may also have ADHD alongside it. I can really relate to a lot of the symptoms, especially things like the lack of concentration (which can also be an autism thing but I feel like there's more to my situation than that?) and my mind being all over the place. Probably gonna try getting diagnosed again in not too long... I tried over a year ago, filled out a questionaire for symptoms but just got back the non-answer of "well it's not impossible you may have it but we don't see a point in signing you up for being diagnosed right now considering your other conditions" or something like that, bleh

I can relate; I've been diagnosed with autism, but sometimes wonder if I have ADHD due to my tendency to get easily distracted and have my mind wander.

I’ve written a lot over in the Auties and Aspies thread, but I’ve never gotten an official autism diagnosis.

However, basically the only reason I haven’t is because you can’t get a diagnosis for that here in Sweden unless it actively hinders your life in some way, probably to lessen the risk of a wrongful diagnosis. Still, the psychologist I went to last year took note of some of my behavorial tics (Aversion to eye contact, Sensory Overload issues, frustration over not having my needs met at work etc.) and said that it was ”highly likely” that I have some form of high-functioning ASD. I got some papers detailing some telltale signs of autism, and I ticked a lot of boxes; In fact, it made a lot of my behaviors growing up make sense in retrospect, like my various hyperfixations and tics.

I’m also fairly certain that I have some form of depression and/or anxiety disorder.

Oh, that stinks. I'm over in the US of A and I'm set to get a psychiatric evaluation test this month (or something like that) since my mom suspects I have something but isn't sure what but thankfully here it's possible for me to get one without any doctors suspecting anything up until my last appointment with a new pediatrician^note upon reading a multiple page document my mom and her fiancé prepared about general health background stuff and why they think I might have ADHD and hearing questions about ADHD she scribbled Asperger's onto a paper and showed it to my moms fiancé while shielding it from me
