Nervous illness. I've been through a lot of stress for quite a long time which gave awful results. I easily get irritated and anxious from minor things.

Examples:
If i smoke weed, I get panic attacks and feel like I am going to die, so I had to quit.
Drinking coffee also makes me nervous and anxious, had to quit that too.
Hangovers also make me anxious.

Some time ago I listened to Claire Weekes' tapes (http://www.amazon.com/Hope-Help-Nerves-Claire-Weekes/dp/0451167228) and At Last a Life by Paul David (http://www.amazon.com/At-Last-Life-Paul-David/dp/0956948103)
They sure helped but did not manage to cure me completely.

Anxiety and panic attacks used to be with me pretty much 24/7 until i read those helpful books and tapes. Fortunately, now it is only being caused by the things mentioned above.

I just know it's a mental problem. If you get yourself occupied, distracted and not think about it, the anxiety goes away.

I was diagnosed with aspergers syndrome five years ago. I was thirteen and committed some pretty serious crime and it pushed my father to get a diagnoses. [He wished to minimize the fallout.] It hasn't changed my life much, except maybe now I get more sympathy perhaps. I've started socializing somewhat in the last few months and I now have I better understand why this is considered a mental illness. I can better see the difficulties I and people like myself face. I am not proud to have difficulties communicating with people, but without it I wouldn't be who I am today.
In treating my mental illness there isn't a whole lot they can do. I was given some medication, the same medication prescribed to schizophrenics but in a lower dosage, and had sessions in the nearby city with some kind of doctor. I found it interrupting my education and she wasn't nice to me. She was polite but she seemed to think I was an imbecile and couldn't handle money. I would regularly tell her my marvellous grades and she would be confused about it. When I saved up a few hundred dollars she was equal parts amazed and confused. It hurt seeing her and thinking that the trained professional had a completely incorrect interpretation of my mental illness and might harm her other patients with aspergers or just any of her patients.

Read my reply in the topic.

Break away from your confort zone asap, talk to girls, dare yourself to do "crazy" things. Trust me on this Either go crazy or learn to deal with ur illness. What is better?

I have a whole host of medical problems which led to depression and a few trips to the psych ward for suicidal tendencies.  Things are much, better now and have moved on

I am treated for anxiety and depression. I also get violent mood swings when not on my meds. I have never been admitted for anything though. I have also not been back to a doctor to be properly diagnosed in years.

I like your story.

That is exactly what the tapes and book taught me. I try to ignore the anxious feelings and just go on with my life, do my daily tasks and keep a strong will and I feel like I am slowly progressing and recovering.

I have Tourette's syndrome, IED, OCD and social anxiety. I've also had major depression last year, combined with psuedodementia, I almost went on a killing spree once, but my parents found out and made me get help, I am treated now and my mental capabilities are back to normal. Also my other "problems" are reduced. I hope they all will be gone before I go to college.

Got diagnosed with azperger earlier this year, wouldn't be surprised if I had adhd/add or something more aswell

[v32itas]

Antisocial Personality Disorder. And not even self diagnosed but I can tell that by people which sticks around me for too long. They all somehow starts to hate me(then they just need a brake) after brake they loves me again. Oh well it's just some psychiatrist made it sound that ridiculous. Actually Society goes against it self. And I'm just on my own.

I have borderline personality disorder (BPD) and avoidant personality disorder (AvPD).
One of the worst things about it is that I often think: "I need to talk to someone so bad, I can't live like this for my entire life..." and after barely 10 minutes I could be like "Nah, the only problem here is mankind, and that's why I don't talk to anyone and don't have any relationship, they don't deserve me, and I'm fine with it.".

Basically I spend my days at the computer, talking to my parents only, and leaving my house just to take my dog out or for some commissions, and I'm often depressed, thinking about suicide.

My computers are the only reason I'm still here: my wish for learning is superior to everything.

Mild social anxiety and mild ocd. I also have somewhat dampened emotions with the exception of anger, but I'm not sure what that would be called.

I used to have such thoughts and they comes back from time to time, but I always named it just as mindfuck state. So most effective way out from this mindfuck state I've found was writing down everything that is a part of that mindfuck. By writing it down you realize that it was actually just a mindfuck But there is no need to stop writing after that. Continue writing down your thoughts. And In few days you going to notice that everything you write down gets more clear and organized every day as well as your mind. As well you might notice improved concentration and memory.

By journaling all important activity from your past and present and making yourself to-do lists(and completing them) you can improve your overall performance and realize that you're more important than you thought. So journaling things you achieve and learn boosts your self-esteem.

Each time you get into mindfuck state just start writing about yourself. Fill all missing achievements since last journal update. Explain what were you're doing all day in journal. And what are you going to do, what should you do. Try to prioritize those goals. After you finish journaling, start executing tasks from your to-do list. Remember that the only person you can trust is YOU and you just have no time for being depressed.

P.S. This writing will also improve your speaking, you will be able to talk more clearly. But this journal is only for you not for public, keep it to yourself. A lot of brilliant people used to write for themselves. You can find a lot of articles about benefits of this journaling.
