I've been diagnosed with anxiety and depression but finally found the right medication that works for me which is great. Hate relying on meds to function but it works so I'm good with that. I've gotten a lot better but for some reason my anxiety comes out more when I'm trying to chat online or through text than actually talking to someone in person.

Anxiety is not a disease.

Let the flame war begin.

You can be diagnosed with mental illnesses even though they are not diseases :P

I'm the opposite. I get more anxiety in person then online. I used to take medicines as well for a couple years but have recently weened off them. I know it's not fun having to take them but it really will help stabilize things :)

I would be diagnosed with them too if I went to some person who diagnoses such things.

In this instance, a disorder is a mental or behavioral pattern or anomaly that causes either suffering or an impaired ability to function in ordinary life (disability), and which is not developmentally or socially normative.

What Vomps said. Is being bad at math a disorder? Math is necessary in a lot of ordinary life. Is being a bad writer a disorder? Writing is necessary to a lot of ordinary life. Is falling in love a disorder? That causes suffering like crazy. I think presuming to tell people what is ordinary" or "normal" is arrogant, and I think classifying every deviation from the mean as a disorder is extremely dangerous.

Yes, it's called dyscalculia.

Technically, Simon has been diagnosed with Sensory Processing Disorder, a condition in which the brain has trouble receiving and responding to information that comes in through the senses.

Image

Simon has learned to cope with some of the things listed above. In addition to the things mentioned in the above picture, Simon is a stickler for rules, does not lie, and will through an all out two-yr-old-like fit if he loses a game. He will even throw a fit because the person he chose to cheer for on Wheel of Fortune has lost. Despite his struggles we wouldn't change a thing about him....except that he would eat fruits, vegies, and meat :p

That said :), it is nice to know all of your RL names. My name is Tasha.
Banners are cool, but a pain to scroll through so...
I've won a lot of games. I've hosted some games. The end.

Yay Doober! Nice to see you again! You are welcome to play anytime, we'd love to have you!
JaggedJimmyJay wrote: Sat Aug 21, 2021 3:24 pm Always good to remember that there is no such thing as a Mafia circumstance that is worth real human emotion. Sometimes it will naturally come out, but it can be contained if we just remember that this is a game on a message board forum that 99.99% of the population of the Earth has never heard of before. No matter how successful anyone is, it means just about nothing.
