There’s so many syndromes, mental disorders and ailments out there which I recognise and could be classed as. I’m sure pretty much every single human being has at least one or two! Here are a few I’ve identified of myself.<\/p>\n

In order or relevance:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Atypical Depression<\/li>\n
  2. AvPD [Avoidant personality disorder]<\/li>\n
  3. Atychiphobia [phobia of failure]<\/li>\n
  4. Social Anxiety & Social Phobia<\/li>\n
  5. Existential Anxiety<\/li>\n
  6. Thanatophobia [phobia of death]\u00a0 <\/li>\n
  7. GAD [Generalized Anxiety Disorder]<\/li>\n
  8. Eating Disorder <\/li>\n
  9. Major \/ Clinical Depressive Disorder<\/li>\n
  10. Dysthymia & Chronic Depression (Long term)<\/li>\n
  11. Circadian Rhythm Disorder\/s<\/li>\n
  12. Mild Chronic Fatigue Syndrome <\/li>\n
  13. SAD [Seasonal Effect Disorder]<\/li>\n
  14. A small degree of OCD and Autism<\/li>\n
  15. A small degree of Dependant Personality Disorder<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I’m not a hypochondriac as there’s a lot of stuff I can’t really identify with. i.e.~
    bi-polor depression, panic attacks, multiple personalities, the personality disorders: boarder line, antisocial, narcissistic, schizoid, PTS, body dysmorphic disorder, sleep disorders – to name a few.<\/p>\n

    I guess to have 15 items on a list like this is pretty worrying! Although for a lot of them you can’t have one without the other, so in actual fact you could say I’m only inflicted with 5 or 6 tops. Having this kinda insight is always a good start and makes me feel a little better to know I’m not the only person dealing with these problems. I’m sure there are a lot of people like me who have ended up isolating themselves and living a very limited lifestyle through no fault of their own. The moral do-gooder in me wants to support similar people! And also want to be supported in the same way as sufferers of more obvious mental health problems or physical conditions.<\/p>\n

    Perhaps these ailments are directly what’s been effecting my mood? I tried plotting out how I’ve been feeling recently, and this pretty much sums up recent years too! I want to get to that green state, but currently spending too much time well under a decent base mood, so will have a long way to go to get there! At least it’s insightful to see a visual representation of how I feel and in comparison with other people around me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
