Mental illness?

[blacknieve]

Well, I can't say I've been diagnosed with any condition(never been to a shrink either), but from what I've read from wiki and various other med articles and sources, I'm probably bipolar and was definitely depressive at one point. Contemplated suicide very seriously and read up about it, decided that it was definitely not worth it, so I might as well just live my life and do shit. That's how I surpassed the depression. Took me 2 years...

And right now, I just have weird moments when I want to cry for no goddamn reason. They pass in like a minute or two. And then I'm aaaaall good again and ready to do whatever the fuck I want.

Oh and if it wasn't illegal, I'd kill a looooot of people without any regret whatsoever.
I'd still literally kill some idiots, but right now I'm just too paranoid I might get caught.

Suicide isn't the answer, you still have so much to live for

Nope, not as far as I know even though I show traits of various illnesses. Even if I do, I couldn't be bothered to get tested because I can still function normally on a daily basis

Most people can "function normally" even with a diagnose. Personally I'm not functioning in any other way after I got my diagnose than I did before, but now I have a better understanding on why I maybe get headaches often than some other people. Why I am a complete wreck after being on a social event for X days while my friends are just tired due to sleeping to little.

And that I kind of like, I have a better understanding of who I am as a human. And I still "function normally". A diagnose is just a help to find out who you are, it does not say who you are. And that's a Big difference.

Take pills for depression....better than weed.

Yes, I have depression and anxiety issues.

Also, I've spent time in psych wards. They're not like they are in movies. Very boring. Not much to do but sit around reading the bible and Reader's Digest condensed books.

I was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder.
Since psychology is  not as concrete as some of the other medical disciplines, and most of the tests for illness are open to interpretation by the test provider, I  spent some time doing research on it. I am pretty confidant it  is an accurate diagnosis.
I have been in psych wards several times, usually because I realized things were getting out of control and I didn't want to lose what little control I had left.

Shockingly I have been diagnosed with PTSD, one VA shrink compared me to House with access to heavy artillery. 

Seriously though, OP were asking about natural or developed mental illness?  Someone else previously hit on a point about the near futility of diagnosis.  While I would not go so far as claiming mental illness doesn't exist, but it has become so over diagnosed in our modern society with such little understanding that it is hard to take it too seriously.  Half the kids I have known diagnosed with ADHD just needed a Gibbs slap upside the back of the head and damned if they had no problems concentrating and behaving.   Too many people use mental illness as an excuse to be worthless fucks that are unaccountable for their actions these days.

The problem is that yes there are people that have real serious issues with depression amongst a host of other issues, and because there is not a sufficient enough understanding of the causes and appropriate treatments over diagnosis dilutes this seriousness. 

Don't get me wrong I don't know a single person on this board so I am not making any accusations that my opinions hold to any one of the previous posts.  Particularly since several have mentioned that the diagnosis while it didn't change their lives it did help explain some things.  As I said mental illness is a serious and interesting subject, unfortunately it is plagued with rejects from the NASA chimp training program with prescription pads.
