got any? If so, tell us about them.

 

 

I've got a few:

 

ADD (and yes, I've actually been diagnosed, unlike a lot of people I've met who say they have it just because they cant pay attention. ADD isnt just that. ADD is where you think too fast, like trying to fit a whole ton of thoughts into this little organizer, so that you can speak. Thats why I couldnt pay attention in class, because when it came time to take a test, I'd have too many thoughts (mainly because I was under pressure) and I could never finish it in time. The test questions where you had to read a short story were the worst, because I'd go off on thinking about what could happen after the story ended. Then after about ten minutes I'd pretty much have a sequel written up in my head, or I'd go off thinking about the movie I watched the other day or the video game I was playing at the time)

 

Dyslexia (not to be mistaken with the reading disorder, I can read just fine. Dyslexia is where you think in random jumbled up fragments, and sometimes cant pay attention, because you're thinking about 5 or 6 subjects at once. People often get it confused with ADD. In my case Sometimes I read things wrong, but only about once a week/month. Stuff like "Krenny Lavitz" or "Yete Porn." You'd think that having ADD AND Dyslexia would be insane to control, but I've gotten used to it, I've taught myself to speak just fine over the years, and now you cant even tell.)

 

Paranoia (I have this two ways. When I see a group of young people (highschool age) and I see them talking/laughing, I have this automatic impulse-feeling that they're making fun of me, or saying bad things about me. I've had people in the past say rude comments like "you think you're so cool, but you're not." I dunno why, but its scarred me and now I have this paranoia that people are always saying it, but not to my face. I know its all in my head, so its just a mild case of paranoia. I also have paranoia when I first meet people, because I'm shy (but only when I first meet someone, I warm up depending on how shy/outgoing the other person is) so people think its arrogance instead of shyness, so I get paranoid that people are going to think that I'm arrogant when they first meet me. I'm only shy around shy people, because I'm not totally sure whether or not they're shy, or if they're just uninterested in talking to me or whatever, but I'm not shy whatsoever with outgoing people, because its easy to warm up to them. When people see me, they see this goofy off-the-wall person, so they think that there's no way that I could be shy, so people assume its arrogance, or maybe its just my paranoia... I dunno...)

"Yete Porn."

I've read it that way too. ;)

Thats exactly what I do! Its kinda fun, unfortunately it takes a lot of valuable test time :embarrased: . I haven't been diagnosed with ADD, but now I'm thinking I might have it. Like on this one question about this girl studying pond water, I start thinking hmm, why the heck would she wanna do that? What did her friends think? Did she get made fun of at school? Could she be taking this test and reading this question about herself? That's not fair, she has an advantage! She probably didn't need to read this question because she did it. Now she'll get all of these questions right and getter a better score than me. score... *click*(back to reality) Oh, oops. And then I go on until I find another question that sparks my imagination.

i've never been diagnosed but i get quite claustrophobic in certain situations.

what an interesting thread! pity i don't have a disorder i can share...well ok it's not a pity exactly.

i don't have a disorder i can share

Denile! :P :D

I don't have any disorders either....

ok after reading those, i know feel even more that i have a SLIGHT form of dyslexia, but i've never been diagnosed or anything.

and i know that i can be paranoid , but i think it's a 'normal' amount of paranoia

and people have said that i can be shy and it has only been recently that i've seen that some people can think that shy people are arrogant (even though they may not be at all :confused: )

Social anxiety disorder, maybe? I've never been diagnosed, but I think I have it.. because I can't talk to people... at all. I break out in sweats, my mouth dries up, and I almost can't speak when I'm in social situations. I always think no matter what I say people are going to think I'm stupid... and it takes me a long time to warm up to people.

I've never been diagnosed, but yeah I used to be overly-dependant when my parents split up. That lasted for a very long time.I still get like that a lot even now. :/

 

 

 

 

On a lighter note; THIS IS MY 4000TH POST! Yay!! :D

:(

Yeah I have difficulty trusting people. Some people (guys mostly) have screwed me over in the past and now when I meet someone new I think they're just gonna do the same.

i think i have that disorder too.. :o :(

I know this doesn't really fit here but whenever someone compliments me I go SOOOOOOOO red, not red like pink, red like my whole face goes deep deep red, or when i see someone I like, my face..it goes red, or if I'm caught singing by a person, I'll go red, then they'll say "no don't stop, it was really good" since they complimented me i'll go even MORE red, it's terrible.. i wish there was a pill to make my face stop spazzing and going red cos I find that it really holds me back if i wanna talk to a person i like or something of that sort, because of it i think i may have social anxiety disorder cos I tend to avoid people all the time cos i don't want my face going red...bah it sucks.. :cry:

I have ADD, but i think i may be a little messed up in head :lol: But no really i think i may also have some something else can't think of what it's called though..

can't think of what it's called though..

insanity?

like me... :sneaky: :evil: muahahahaha!!!!

"Now, what do you own the world?

how do you own disorder, disorder

Now, somewhere between the sacred silence

Sacred silence and sleep

disorder, disorder, disorder"

Interesting thread, Chad!

I've never been diagnosed but I have a feeling I may have ADD too. I've been told the reason that sometimes I talk too fast and "swallow" my words is down to the fact that my brain works too fast and my mouth can't keep up with it :rolleyes: :lol: I think I'll go and check on that. It sounds a lot like me ^^

Anyone knows where I could find more information about ADD?

 

Other than that, I've never been diagnosed with this either but I'm a bit claustrophobic as well. I mean, I don't mind being in a closed room or an elevator but once someone locks the room or the lift is stuck I feel like I'm out of breathe and I start to panic :stunned:

It's funny because I was diagnosted with that; thought I didn't believe what the doctor told me. I didn't trust him and I was 'scared' that he would laugh and tell everyone what I was telling him and they would all laugh....... ah, it was awful! I just refused to talk with him (How Stubbborn I am!) and people got used to the way I was, or I am, so ............:shrugs:

:idea2:

Social anxiety disorder, maybe?

I might have that too, but am not sure. :/

i`ve got reading disorder. i don`t think you could call it dyslexia but i can`t read fast and i often make mistakes.

 

and i`m paranoid. sort of like you, Little Nemo. the only difference is that i`m shy around outgoing ppl and pretty confident around shy ppl. but i have the same 'the gotta be making fun of me' thingy.

I've never been diagnosed, but yeah I used to be overly-dependant when my parents split up.

Awwww I didn't know about this...the parent split up part. I'm sorry to hear that. :(

 

**Hugs Julia**

 

And no, I don't think I have any disorders.

 

I too feel many a times that some people are being knowingly hurtful, being 'bitch', or knowing my soft side and then making fun of me...

 

but i don't think those are disorders. just some things that hopefully pass over...

erm erm :sneaky:
