has anyone ever accused you of having a mental disorder?

Post Reply New Topic

like "dude stop being so OCD" or "why do you have so much ADD?"

NOT about symptoms...

I didn't even know what OCD really was until about a year ago and after about 5 times hearing about OCD I finally read about what it was... it's ironic how someone joking about something can point you in the right direction... have similar things happened to you? It's ok if the people were more serious about it, such as "I think you may have _______."

I accused myself, but I was wrong.

I hope I'm not wrong about AS, too. ^_^ I really feel at home here.

In Sophomore year (but only that year and only that school), my classmates accused me of having schitzophrenia and since early elementary school (first grade I believe), people have accused me of being mentally insane.

My family has numerous times accused me of being a psychopath.

Of course; they were correct.

I explained to a coworker how I get addicted to writing music, and stay up well into the night doing it. He asked me, quite plainly and seriously if I have ADD.

I never really gave it much thought before... but now I am seeing many symptoms in my life of the inattentive ADHD.

Most people don't have the insight to understand the depths of my insanity... maybe.

are you kidding me? of COURSE people have 'accused' me of having a mental disorder, and that is the POLITE ones! Usually, it is ' you ret*d!" or " what the hell is YOUR problem?" or " you are the most insincere person I have ever met, your words say one thing but you can tell by your posture you are lying your head off!"
"what are YOU staring at?" and on and on over the years and decades and quarter centuries and half centuries. . .

~sigh~

I was told once by a schizo that I "must have ice in my veins." Girls that know me and think I'm very trustworthy laugh aloud at the idea. If they knew how little empathy I often feel for their problems they wouldn't tell me as much. Very strange, usually physically attractive, but unstable women think I look very nice and caring and tell me a lot of weird secrets about themselves. Only in the last year or two have I learned to be more wary of people trying to be "extra" friendly towards me (that I don't know already). That's how I got wind of the klepto I dated in May, before she did any real damage (OK, well she did jap $8 from my mom but it could've been worse).
I often feel next to nothing toward my family. I just feel I don't relate to them AT ALL but I realized about 2 years ago that it was something much deeper than that, for example "an inability to empathize with others." AS anyone?
To Lola-nator, if you really hallucinate, you need to get help. That would be terrible if you unwittingly hurt yourself or others, particularly *if* your hallucination was that what you were doing was actually for their benefit

Apparently I'm just considered this brilliant crazy rich mainiac around town. They actually do call me either "Crazy Ben" or "Ben-diesel" at the poetry readings. All the professors around my school know me and, I hope, my research, but none has ever come out and say, "WTF's wrong with you?" Though one suggested I visit the Counseling Center after my last meltdown, last Spring, after the bipolar girl ditched me.

I have been called "psycho" and "skitzo" by people who were too f*****g stupid to understand that if they stopped maiking fun of every little thing I did I wouldn't be like that

No, no def. don't have NPD... It's odd enough that even my bestfriends, who are more NT than me, marvel at the way weird women are attracted to me. A woman I know who's a psychiatric nurse said it's because I look "too nice" and will talk to just about anyone that's the cause of this 'problem.' As she pointed out though, what's a better defense mechanism than not being empathetic?

People need to stop making fun of certain things and accusing people of haiving certain things wether jokingly or not, because on of these days it's gonna getthem into trouble.
