Poll of Co-occuring Diagnosis

Post Reply New Topic

You can comment about if you think these have changed as an adult.

I also have OCD and agoraphobia.

In common with most I have had ongoing issues with anxiety all of my life

As Ive got older I wouldnt say that its diminished but I have developed better coping strategies

When I was younger I was treated for depression as a direct result of finding it difficult to manage my anxiety

I have a diagnosis of ADHD, but I never felt like I have trouble paying attention.
I recently have found out I have OCD though. Heavy on the O, low on the C.

I my symptoms in all areas have gotten better since I was young, but mostly because I've learned what is going on in my brain and how to handle stressful situation better.

I got it from mother, along with a major attachment disorder. She never said "I love you" to either child.

Anxiety and ADHD.

Not something I feel happy answering re there are diagnoses I officially have, and those things I very probably have but have no official dx for . The latter being due to age, the myopia of many MH pros and their inability to look beyond a chronic mental illness .

Anxiety, occasionally depression as well

^^ I don't know what a trope is, but IMHO, the theory that AS is caused by cold mothers caught the instances of genetic inheritance from the mother's side, but the observation that these mothers were cold was thrown out because mothers are generally above criticism. I don't know if AS is more common in men, or just more noticeable, given our role as the expendable scouts in society.

None. No official diagnosis for it either.

Any co-occuring conditions are either temporary and never permanent so far.
At worst, some had gone long term to chronic only to stop or disappear for days, weeks, months, years yet most at the time for good.



My true case would probably be a form of vulnerability that had already affected my developmental expressions, and is very prone to said co-occuring conditions. I just had to find the rules and the self-care system tailored for my needs to prevent any of it.
Once I do, I don't have to spend my time coping with complications that could easily mutate into a cycle and be a burden. I'd just get the 'ideal and adapting type of autism' that copes because it functons, as opposed to coping to function. I 'believe' so because I've seen what it was like.

Still figuring it out how to trigger my body to suddenly 'doing right' during sleep, and getting the missing natural essential ingredient daily instead of waiting for luck.
Because it already happened and it will happen again; I overcome forms of anxiety, depression, sensory defensiveness and even school refusal before adulthood after all.



So if I got any co-occuring conditions, I won't stop 'believing' it'll go away one way or another.
Because personal data said it happened, therefore it is logically plausible.

Along with the AS and attachment disorder, I got a touch of bi-polar - enough to whet the edge of creativity, but also enough to make it hard to maintain a comforting, healthy schedule. The PTSD came later, from a series of surprises where I had expected logic to prevail.

By the time I hit adulthood I had developed a significant degree of anxiety, multiple substance abuse issues, bipolar and attachment issues. For someone who already had a deficit of executive function, it probably wasn't the greatest idea to engage in behaviours that would impair it further, but at the same time if I hadn't of started doing drugs I likely wouldn't have survived to adulthood in the first place. If you're gonna end up f****d either way, you might as well get to smile along the way.
