Anyone diagnosed with anxiety?

Post Reply New Topic

My diagnoses is anxiety disorder but there is no specific anxiety disorder except OCD and that doesn't all fit so I have all three diagnoses, Asperger's, anxiety disorder and OCD from my psychiatrist I used to see. None of the anxiety disorder labels seem to fit me so I seem to have atypical anxiety. I also have some social anxiety but I don't think people are staring at me nor do I fear judgement or start thinking I did something wrong when things went fine. So SAD wouldn't seem to fit either.

Has anyone else here ever been diagnosed with anxiety but don't seem to fit into either six anxiety disorder conditions?

BTW they removed OCD from the anxiety spectrum so now it's a condition of its own than an anxiety disorder.

Is it a possibility I am getting too caught up in textbook definitions I am taking it all too literal so I think I have none of these? I might not just be a textbook case then. But I find it odd I would be diagnosed with 'anxiety disorder' without any specific label except OCD but that doesn't all fit because it doesn't explain all my anxiety. Anyone else here diagnosed with "anxiety disorder?" I like to call it atypical anxiety or anxiety NOS because none of the specific anxiety disorders describe my anxiety.

I'm diagnosed with OCD, GAD, & Claustrophobia. I feel Claustrophobia like when I'm ridding crowded buses where there's loud talking or people standing next to me but I'm NOT afraid of being in tight spaces. So I kind of wonder if it's really Social Anxiety instead but that doesn't really fit either.

I was diagnosed with OCD & GAD at one point, but I think that's BS, people pick up on my stimming and can't get the fidgeting = nervousness/anxiety out of their heads.

I was anxious as a kid, but I don't have that problem any more at all honestly. I deal way to much with depression instead- that's my biggest issue I would say.

I was diagnosed with GAD and paranoia about seven or so years ago. Although I utterly hated the therapist who diagnosed me, she was pretty spot on, especially since at the time I didn't even know I was taking a test given by her in order to find out if I had any mental issues. I've never really felt like I've fit outside of the ring of anxiety, though. Most of my symptoms are quite severe as far as my GAD goes. I do have hints of social anxiety, but most of that is spurred by the feelings that I cannot function properly in public, because I also have sensory processing issues.

I was diagnosed with Social Anxiety Disorder when I was 18. That diagnosis became Anxiety Disorder NOS when I had an assessment in 2011.

I was diagnosed with Panic Disorder as a teenager and it was an accurate description of my symptoms. I still have some anxiety but there's no formal diagnosis attached to it. I think I am just more prone towards anxiety in general, but perhaps not enough to warrant a diagnosis? In any case, I don't think I have an anxiety disorder as it stands.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder and PTSD, along with Bipolar I and Seasonal Affective Disorder (which is starting to rear it's ugly head again.). Right now I'm trying to ditch a so-called friend, who's been doing nothing but triggering me every time he needs to be taken somewhere (he lost his license because of a DUI). He pissed me off so badly a month ago, I cancelled the insurance on his truck (big mistake, since the truck is in my name. We were parked in a no parking zone 2 weeks ago, since it's in front of the building where he is helping to rehab, and the site manager left him have some of the materials they were throwing out. His truck got sideswiped, even though the hazard lights were flashing. Short end of it, he didn't bother getting cops involved, the people who sideswiped the truck won't pay (nor do I blame them), and I'll probably eat the cost to repair that damn truck. In addition, he's been raising hell because I can't fix the problem with his cell phone. He has a Motorola Moto E Android phone, which he throws at me every time he screws it up, and demands that I fix it, usually with the sneer, "You're the computer expert, you f!cking fatassed bastard!" I don't know how many times I've told him, I'm a Mac-Head, and his phone gives me fits every time he throws it at me to be fixed.

I should have told him no thanks when he initially signed the truck over to me.). I just want to ditch him for good because I can no longer take his gas-lighting, his insults, and his concrete, linear thinking. Every night after I drop him off from the day's work, I end up in a meltdown as soon as I get home.

He's also the cause of my eating poorly again, and my guts are telling me all about it, and yet he will turn around verbally beat me up for doing so. He'll raise hell for eating out so much. How can I avoid doing that if I'm carting him around to wherever he needs to go, and I don't frequently get home until late at night? I don't like cooking at 10:00PM!

Again, how do I ditch this jackass? Don't even suggest not answering or blocking his phone number, because he'll keep calling back ad nauseum (he has been known to call me 25 times in a row in the span of a half hour if I don't pick up.). I can't afford to change phone numbers (sprint gets really nasty with the fees.)

I was diagnosed three years ago with Generalized Anxiety Disorder.

My anxiety symptoms are horrible.

They defy classification but are most consistent with either severe social anxiety, PTSD, or possibly Avoidant Personality Disorder.

You want my opinion, of course, regardless of what diagnostic code fits them, the f*****g autism is the root cause.

I have OCD and Social Anxiety Disorder. I used to be a compulsive hoarder and had lots of rituals but I've overcome them. My OCD is just germaphobia related now.

I have social anxiety criterea for diagnosis, my psychiatrist just helps me to manage my anxiety symptoms, I haven't received a formal SAD diagnosis.
