Depression is the one that affects me the most. I do have PTSD rarely, anxiety and mild autism. Also some OCD, multiple personalities and perfectionism. I'm trying to get professional and experienced help.

Anxiety which i have mostly under control by avoiding major life changes like the plague.  So not really under control, i just avoid what gives me anxiety.

It's probably to do with the feeling of being marginalised not being understood and also something we could do is probs meetup more because we need to see that we are not alone.

I don't suffer from autism, I'm autistic. I don't see it as something bad, or as something I 'have', it's a part of my identity.

Keep in mind I've never been officially diagnosed. Based on my symptoms I've had some form of depression in the past which is the only one I checked. I suspect I might have had anxiety before plus I've definitely had panic attacks at work. An online friend had once suspected I might be high functioning autism spectrum but as I've never been tested I don't want to say that for sure

I'm diagnosed Asperger's, ADHD, Anxiety, mild depression and eating disorder. I started out with orthorexia went from there to anorexia (which is why I've been away from AVEN for a while) and then to Bulimia. I've been in recovery for about two months, I have set backs, good days and bad days... 

I didn't choose any of it. I was born with AS and ADHD and I didn't just wake up one day with EDs, it happened slowly over time. I exercised and restricted as an unhealthy method to try and control the ADHD. It stripped away my personality, took control of my life and almost killed me. I have so much hatred for the EDs, just thinking about it riles me up.

Maybe it's too late to suggest, that you would add personality disorders. At least schizoid personality disorder seems relatively common among AVENites.

I have bipolar 1. I cut and have attempted suicide, and survived. I was not hospitalized, but I have gotten better.

Found it interesting that only 2 other people besides me (as of right now) have a multiple personality disorder. 

 

I have 4 different personalities/identities in my mind and I can even explain in detail who they are and what their back stories are. They're each protective rather than destructive, and often help me overcome certain problems or certain negative emotions I have. They're all male for some reason, I haven't figured out why, but it doesn't bother me. It's a part of me that I've learned to deal with properly.

I have depression and anxiety. I think I have Asperger's/autism but I didn't vote that since I don't have an official diagnosis. My pain for the time being is around 3 with the help of meds, but it's been 8-10 at some points in the past.

depression, which is the main one considering i deal with symptoms of that pretty close to every day, anxiety, bit of dysphoria, very mildly suicidal, and i deal with lots of paranoia and such as a result of emotionally abusive parents. i don't think there's been a single day, since i started experiencing symptoms a bit over a year ago, that i haven't felt like my mental health is completely and totally fucked to the point of no repair.
