The only one not diagnosed with.. something?

[Brony Number 42 9,935]

I agree, just because it is a "conspiracy" does not automatically mean that it is false. I guess I never really read the definition correctly...

 

"Conspiracy: a secret plan by a group to do something unlawful or harmful."

A conspiracy doesn't necessarily have to be about something harmful or unlawful. But there is a revolving door relationship between the FDA and pharmaceutical companies. It costs about $1 billion for a company to bring a drug to market. And it is illegal to sell a product and claim that it cures an illness unless the FDA has approved of it. People who work at the FDA and help get a drug approved coincidentally end up getting jobs at those same companies after they leave the FDA. I get my news from Coast To Coast AM. Check it out.

[Shanks 10,811]

Ow, i didn't even know that about Autism. Learn something new everyday i guess. I have more sensitive ears, but i think mostly because i'm in band and do alot of precise listening.

And it is not just sensitivities to sound either although for me personally that was my biggest one, when I was first diagnosed my sound sensitivities were so bad that even something as simple as the sound of a toilet flushing would literally have me screaming out in pain. Touch was a close second though that one didn't endure for quite as long, at that same time my sense of touch was so sensitive that even the slightest touch would feel like someone punched me in the face so when my own mother or anyone else tried to hold me I would bite,scratch, kick and scream. I am still very sensitive to certain sounds but thanks to auditory integration training I have it mostly under control and most of my sensitivities to touch are gone. I also had sensitivities to certain textures and tastes in food and because of that was a very very picky eater, there are some foods I can't eat because I will literally vomit if I eat even a little bit of it. And there are also certain smells as well, though that is not quite as acute as the others.

 

On an interesting note when I did research on the self help book I am writing about Autism I found out about this one interesting disorder called Sensory Processing Disorder where someone has the same sensory issues that people with Autism have but without actually having Autism. I have much of the same curiosity about that as you do about disorders and differences in general, I have done a little research on it but I have to admit it never really occurred to me until finding out about that that people can have those kind of sensitivities without actually having Autism. It truly is a testament to just how complicated the human mind really is.

 

 

 

I can sympathize with suck at Math but I can at least thank God I don't have Dyscalcula. On that other note I would probably do the same thing in that situation, there are some women that look really hot with glasses. It can help give some women that sexy librarian vibe which is one of my favorite fantasies.

[Oblivion 20,265]

Meh.

I'm an unusually normal teenager considering the fandom I belong to.

I don't have any ADHD or dyslexia or any of those.

I've never been the kid that holds back the group because he can't run that fast because I have this or that, or because I have to take this pill or that pill.

I've generally just been a smart, clean-cut person my entire life.

 

Now I don't know if the regard with which I hold living things counts as psychopathy... Seems rather unlikely. I've never felt the wish to kill something, but if it's hurting or annoying me and there is an easily visible way of killing it I won't hesitate. I've also never cried or lost any sleep over the death of family members, death is inevitable.

 

I just realized that makes me sound really cold.

Although it certainly isn't a lie...

Meh, some people just aren't as emotional as others, nothing really wrong with that!

[lolololol 65]

I've been through foster care in America.   They use foster care kids as guinea pigs (I am serious).  I was diagnosed with (drumroll) ADHD, Mood Disorder NOS,Autism Reactive Attachment Disorder, Dissociative Identity Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Anxiety Disorder, PTSD, and that's all I can remember off hand. 

At one time, I was taking 14 pills morning, noon, and night while in foster care, and I couldn't say "no" (or else they'd force feed them).

 

I can agree with the Reactive Attachment Disorder and the PTSD (I've was horribly abused and neglected as a child), but the others were either forced upon me (to give me pills) or were a real problem at the time because I was so psychologically alone. There are still some things I have problems with that stem from the ones I can obviously see I have....

 

BUT, I'm not a 'normal' case....I've been through some severe trauma, most people on this forum don't have anywhere near the problems I have.  I will agree that America is run by pharmaceutical companies and thus in America, "there's a pill for everything" (sigh).  It's a bunch of BS if I say so myself.....

 

edit: I take NO prescription pills now, by choice. I do take vitamins, and sometimes St. John's Wart for my depression (if nothing else I do helps). Otherwise, I just take my life day by day, and depending on my mental strength, it suffices.

why do you have so many disorders 

[RainbowGlitter 13]

why do you have so many disorders 

I think he was not saying that he actually has all those but that they gave him a million diagnoses due to his problems in his past.

 

I know people who have gotten random disorders tacked onto them from fitting one thing into their criteria as a way to keep them hospitalized. 

[Blackened 512]

I have Asperger's Syndrome(although my original diagnosis was Autism, which makes sense because I was only two at the time.), mild ADHD and Dyspraxia.

[Theshadowmaster235 70]

Yes I have been diagnosed with asthma and it sucks because if I don't remember to do my inhaler I cant breath plus you have the fact that I hack up the mucus like stuff that is in my lungs that asthma causes to be there.

[Moaning Myrtle 196]

Eating Disorder....Diagnosed with EDNOS when I was 17 two years ago and went into recovery.I was about 80 pounds when I went in and came out 120.EDNOS is eating disorder not otherwise specified,which means a mix of ana,mia,binge eating you name it.I don't think recovery fully helped but I feel slightly more confident.

[Davorin'sWrath 3]

I have quite a few diagnoses... 

-Schizo Effective Disorder

-Bipolar Syndrome

-Asperger's Disorder

-OCD

-Anxiety

-Depression.

 

So yeah. You're not alone.

[Shanks 10,811]

Yes I have been diagnosed with asthma and it sucks because if I don't remember to do my inhaler I cant breath plus you have the fact that I hack up the mucus like stuff that is in my lungs that asthma causes to be there.

I had a nasty case of asthma when I was a kid but it mostly cleared up, an interesting factoid though is the few times I get sick it is very rarely the normal flu and is almost always Bronchitis which is something that is seriously not fun which makes me wonder if that has anything to do with it. The last time I had to use an inhaler was this particularly nasty case of Bronchitis I had a few years ago but it wasn't nearly as bad as during the California wildfires a few years before that when everyone was wearing masks. 

[Rinkitty 589]

There's so much wrong with me, the doctors don't even know what's wrong with me.

 

Most notably, I have asthma, ADD, social anxiety, extremely mild Aspergers, (supposedly) an astigmatism... Man, everything that's wrong with me starts with A. Is this a sign?? I used to have a friend named Amber until she turned all bitchy. I bet she's a witch who cursed me with many bizarre disorders....

[Skylar 1,641]

The question is a little confusing, im still recovering from a fractured leg if that counts  

 

As for illnesses / disorders... nope can't think of anything  

[MLPForums Phanact 1,374]

I've been plagued with a shit load of diagnoses for both and mental and physical ailments:

• Costocondritis
• Anaemia
• Gender Dysphoria (COGIATI Class 4 +380)
• Hayfever
• I have a height to weight ratio disorder that doctors and specialists can't even diagnose. I'm underweight for my height essentially and am unable to gain weight. (110lbs or 7st 11lbs and 5' 10" or 179cm, BMI = 15)

I have other shit going on as well but I can't be bothered to write it all down. xD

[Neon Fire 473]

There's things I think I may have (like OCD or ADD) but I've never officially be diagnosed with anything and don't have to take any kind of medicine. 

[Rough Pathway 157]

I've only been diagonsed with 2 things, but either there are other things I have, or something is just very with me.

 

Things I've been diagonsed with:

• Mild to moderate OCD
• Asthma

Things I haven't been diagonsed with but think I have:

• Moderate social anxiety
• SED (selective eating disorder) Most people don't know what this is so heres a definition:
  
  Selective Eating Disorder is a phenomenon where adolescents and adults eat a very limited number of food items.  The tendency is toward the bland or comfort foods such as French fries, potatoes, pasta with butter or red sauce, peanut butter, bread, crackers, but very little if any fruits, vegetables or exotic foods. 
  
  The difference between picky eating and Selective Eating Disorder, is that picky eating is often outgrown and does not come with the massive anxiety, panic attack, gag reflex or vomiting when new foods are offered.

So yeah.. I eat a very limited amount of food (only like 8 different ones) and I'm extremely shy and sensitive. I might not have those disorders, but something is obviously wrong with me. People don't understand me, and I can kind of understand, but that doesn't give them the excuse to treat me like they do. I try to keep my OCD and SED a secret since people probably think that its weird. Everybody else in my family is normal, and doesn't have any disorders so I'm not sure what happened with me. I really wish I were normal though.

[Shift 4,271]

I've not been diagnosed with anything, as far as I know. And that doesn't count for a whole lot since I normally am very oblivious to the world around me. Though, I am very jittery and can't sit still (Doubt that's a disorder or something, though) and am one of those people that can eat a whole lot of cookies and sweets (A massive sweet addict here, but I still eat my veggies! ...mostly, I am obsessed with all things pasta and grain though) and still not gain a lot of weight (Probably due to those hours I spend running around the halls at school and pacing outside and in my room), and I might have a minor case of OCD, but nothing offically. That I remember at least. 

[Twila Starshimmer 172]

I probably would/should be diagnosed with an anxiety disorder of some kind, though.

[crazitaco 596]

I probably have something but seriously, screw YOU psychologist!

you ain't shrinking mah head!

[Zygen 6,065]

Meh.

I'm an unusually normal teenager considering the fandom I belong to.

I don't have any ADHD or dyslexia or any of those.

I've also never cried or lost any sleep over the death of family members, death is inevitable.

 

I just realized that makes me sound really cold.

Although it certainly isn't a lie...

Well, according to the poll actually theres still a fair amount of bronies without any disorders. So i guess maybe you and me ain't so alone.

 

And i suppose thats your way of thinking of it, your perspective, its ok.

 

I haven't gone through any family member death, so i can't really vouch my reaction, but I will say that while i'm totally ok with crying i don't cry much at all.

 

Well...I was diagnosed with a very complex brain condition, which is super hard to spell and describe. From that, arose a hint of very high-functioning Aspergers. But I'm glad that I'm like this, for with the diagnosis, came my musical talent! So, you could say that I'm part aspie and part savant.  

I see, well i guess i'll just work with the info you gave me ;p.

 

And sorry to hear about the Aspergers.

 

However i must agree very much so, you have an incredible amount of music talent, and i can vouch for it being a trumpet player myself. And thus a musician, and i can say your work is quite awesome. 

 

Your talents make me kinda jealous ;p. 

 

I guess theres bright sides to essentially everything in a way.

 

And it is not just sensitivities to sound either although for me personally that was my biggest one, when I was first diagnosed my sound sensitivities were so bad that even something as simple as the sound of a toilet flushing would literally have me screaming out in pain. Touch was a close second though that one didn't endure for quite as long, at that same time my sense of touch was so sensitive that even the slightest touch would feel like someone punched me in the face so when my own mother or anyone else tried to hold me I would bite,scratch, kick and scream. I am still very sensitive to certain sounds but thanks to auditory integration training I have it mostly under control and most of my sensitivities to touch are gone.

It truly is a testament to just how complicated the human mind really is.

 

 

 

I can sympathize with suck at Math but I can at least thank God I don't have Dyscalcula. On that other note I would probably do the same thing in that situation, there are some women that look really hot with glasses. It can help give some women that sexy librarian vibe which is one of my favorite fantasies.

Ah i see, i can imagine that being scared to death of toilets flushing would prove for some difficulties. 

 

Heck, even me myself i find that some in public bathrooms are way to freaking loud... 

 

And ah i see, sorry to hear about that. But i'm glad you mostly got over it, if i ever see you I'll try not to hug you and restrain myself. Unless you really want me to.

 

And i was quite a picky eater when i was younger actually, but after i got into the teenage years that kinda faded away as I got more hungry and just ended up eating whatever was around.

 

And your writing a self help book? That is an awesome idea, Kudos to you! I wish you the best of luck!

 

And that is interesting, I do find alot of different mental disorders interesting, not just from curiosity, but overall interest.

 

And yep, the human mind is quite complex. Its what makes us all unique i suppose.

 

I have Asperger's Syndrome(although my original diagnosis was Autism, which makes sense because I was only two at the time.), mild ADHD and Dyspraxia.

Sorry to hear . 

 

And yeah, I think early diagnosis while helpful can sometimes be a bit inaccurate, depending i suppose.

 

Yes I have been diagnosed with asthma and it sucks because if I don't remember to do my inhaler I cant breath plus you have the fact that I hack up the mucus like stuff that is in my lungs that asthma causes to be there.

Yeah, i have friends with Asthma, one forgot their inhaler after a band competition and had an attack afterwards, we had to have someone run to go get it, thankfully everything went ok. Scared me for a bit.

 

Eating Disorder....Diagnosed with EDNOS when I was 17 two years ago and went into recovery.I was about 80 pounds when I went in and came out 120.EDNOS is eating disorder not otherwise specified,which means a mix of ana,mia,binge eating you name it.I don't think recovery fully helped but I feel slightly more confident.

Ow. Sorry about that. 

 

I have a question about eating disorders though if you don't mind asking. Are they like some kind of urge to binge or do other things, or is it like some kind of self confidence thing? 

 

It just always confused me as to how exactly it causes these things.

 

So if you don't mind asking i'm curious. Thanks.

 

I have quite a few diagnoses... 

-Schizo Effective Disorder

-Bipolar Syndrome

-Asperger's Disorder

-OCD

-Anxiety

-Depression.

 

So yeah. You're not alone.

Not sure i know what schizo effective disorder is.

 

I know what the others are i think.

 

Isn't it bipolar disorder not syndrome though? Just curious, maybe i'm wrong. 

 

Sorry to hear about all those though.

 

I had a nasty case of asthma when I was a kid but it mostly cleared up, an interesting factoid though is the few times I get sick it is very rarely the normal flu and is almost always Bronchitis which is something that is seriously not fun which makes me wonder if that has anything to do with it. The last time I had to use an inhaler was this particularly nasty case of Bronchitis I had a few years ago but it wasn't nearly as bad as during the California wildfires a few years before that when everyone was wearing masks. 

Well, i guess if we're talking about things in the past I might as well add that i use to be hypoglycemic to an extent when i was younger.

 

Basically it just meant that if i didn't have enough food and stuff to eat to keep my blood sugar up, i'd end up getting sick like i was going to vomit, and many times doing so.

 

Of course, it was not terribly frequent as i learned to eat good substantial amounts, and eventually it went away essentially all the way to my knowledge, as far as I know now i could go atleast 1-2 meals and not get super sick. I've got 1 meal plenty times. Where as when i was younger even skipping a meal for a little bit might make me sick.

 

But its not a current thing, so i don't really include it anymore, plus idk how serious i'd say it actually really was. Happended mostly during boy scout camp.

There's so much wrong with me, the doctors don't even know what's wrong with me.

 

Most notably, I have asthma, ADD, social anxiety, extremely mild Aspergers, (supposedly) an astigmatism... Man, everything that's wrong with me starts with A. Is this a sign?? I used to have a friend named Amber until she turned all bitchy. I bet she's a witch who cursed me with many bizarre disorders....

Hm, sounds like a bit of an interesting theory, but i don't know if thats possible ;p.

 

Maybe you just have one of the diagnosis happy doctors.

 

The question is a little confusing, im still recovering from a fractured leg if that counts

 

As for illnesses / disorders... nope can't think of anything

Oh, sorry i didn't quite know how to put it. I kinda meant like things along disorders and different irregularities i suppose? Syndromes, stuff like that. 

 

I couldn't quite find out how to put it to make sense. So sorry for the confusion.

 

On a side note i've luckily not had any serious injuries yet, i'll probably have my time soon enough, but still.

 

I've been plagued with a shit load of diagnoses for both and mental and physical ailments:

• Costocondritis
• Anaemia
• Gender Dysphoria (COGIATI Class 4 +380)
• Hayfever
• I have a height to weight ratio disorder that doctors and specialists can't even diagnose. I'm underweight for my height essentially and am unable to gain weight. (110lbs or 7st 11lbs and 5' 10" or 179cm, BMI = 15)

I have other shit going on as well but I can't be bothered to write it all down. xD

 

I don't even know what half those mean actually to be honest.

 

On a side note, i weight like 120 or so and i'm like 5 "10, i use to weight like right at 100 for a long while ;p. 

 

I think maybe the ice cream is all catching up to me ;p.

 

Although i do still have a really fast metabolism.

 

No disorder though.

 

Sorry to hear about em all btw though.

There's things I think I may have (like OCD or ADD) but I've never officially be diagnosed with anything and don't have to take any kind of medicine. 

I see, well i don't think i'd want to take medicine, since well, i don't know people who really want to take medicine exactly, but yeah.

 

I've only been diagonsed with 2 things, but either there are other things I have, or something is just very with me.

 

Things I've been diagonsed with:

I really wish I were normal though.

I see, well idk about the SED, i was a picky eater when i was younger, but not ultra picky. 

 

If you have the vomiting side affect or something then its possible, otherwise i wouldn't falsely diagnosis it to soon. 

 

But idk really why people would think its weird if your OCD, and even the SED, which isn't even confirmed exactly. And they'd mostlikely just think of it as your picky. 

 

And honestly don't feel bad if others in your family don't have disorders. 

 

And honestly, "Normal" is a kinda subjective word.

 

I'm mean suree.. I'm "Normal" according to the doctors(That i've visited currently.) but honestly.. what is "normal" and whatever it is, i don't think i qualify as it, because i can be quite crazy ;p.

 

So yeah, "Normal" is a bit of a subjective word, we're all weird or crazy in our own way in my eyes .

 

I've not been diagnosed with anything, as far as I know. And that doesn't count for a whole lot since I normally am very oblivious to the world around me. Though, I am very jittery and can't sit still (Doubt that's a disorder or something, though) and am one of those people that can eat a whole lot of cookies and sweets (A massive sweet addict here, but I still eat my veggies! ...mostly, I am obsessed with all things pasta and grain though) and still not gain a lot of weight (Probably due to those hours I spend running around the halls at school and pacing outside and in my room), and I might have a minor case of OCD, but nothing offically. That I remember at least. 

Omg sweets addict bro! 

 

I also have a high metabolism, which does sometimes make things good, but at the same time makes it harder for me to feel encouraged to Not eat sweets. ;p.

 

I remember when i was younger my grandmother actually spoiled me even more then i spoiled myself, i had like atleast two ice cream cones a day... Sometimes 3...

 

I really need to cut off on my sweets, right now i only eat ice cream like once a day really.. But thats not good enough. Really need to kinda cut back, before i end up dead before 30...

 

But my blasted sweet tooth!

 

I probably have something but seriously, screw YOU psychologist!

you ain't shrinking mah head!

Huh?

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,809]

 

 

And sorry to hear about the Aspergers.

 

I'm actually fine with it, since it's high-functioning.  

[Zygen 6,065]

I'm actually fine with it, since it's high-functioning.  

Out of pure ignorance, i have to ask, what exactly does "High functioning" mean?

 

I'm confused, does that mean the autism is more prominent? like i feel like its really simple, but i don't know if i get it..

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,809]

 

 

confused, does that mean the au

 

That means, that I can still maintain myself having it. I have great coordination and motor skills. Or else, I wouldn't be able to type this sentence here if I weren't high functioning.  

[Zygen 6,065]

That means, that I can still maintain myself having it. I have great coordination and motor skills. Or else, I wouldn't be able to type this sentence here if I weren't high functioning.  

Ohh, ok. 

 

Sorry, i never really got that, i always confused it. Thanks for the clarification.

 

So i guess that means you get to have alot of talent, but still be able to function well. 

 

I know its not all sweets and candy, but still ;p.

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,809]

 

 

So i guess that means you get to have alot of talent, but still be able to function well

 

 

Sadly, for others, they've got the talent, but they lack the necessary ability to perform daily tasks such as getting dressed. They will need assistance in those areas, but not their musical realm.  

[Rinkitty 589]

*Too lazy to cut to the part about me*

I don't know, man. It could be possible.

 

Anyways, I definitely haven't been fully diagnosed with anything, really. It's very possible that I have Aspergers and ADD, but I've never been officially tested. I could certainly have some sort of heart problem, but the doctors just blamed my constant pain and feeling of a future heart attack as anxiety. I could be a complete sociopath, but let's not talk about that...

 

I was given an asthma inhaler earlier this year, so that could definitely explain the chest pains and shortness of breath. I also was told I needed glasses around the time I got my inhaler, soooo~, astigmatism. Now, how do I explain the voices in my head...
