Mental Disorder/Illness

[miniGOINGS]

Hey guys, just wondering how many of you had a mental disorder/illness such as schizo, OCD, paranoia, autism, etc. There are 3 options, Confirmed means that a doctor or psychiatrist or the like. Speculated means that you think that you might have one or more. No means that to the best of your knowledge, you don't have one. You don't have to post what it is, and this poll isn't public, but if you would like to contribute, please do.

I sure hope not.

I always subconciously bite the cap-ring-thing off and peel the wrapper off coke bottles. I mean always.

Does that count as some kind of OCD?

 

[JTW2007]

Does this count?

 

[Escher]

The Autistic Spectrum Disorder is extremely wide, to such an extent that there are people diagnosable that you wouldn't even consider autistic 'irl'
Should Asperger's Syndrome be counted?

Does this count?

I would probably count it as one.

Um, depends. If you have other characteristics of OCD I would say speculated, unless you've had some one talk with you about it and confirm it.

Just wanted to make sure that you guys know that this is supposed to be a serious thread, and I hope people don't get defensive or flamed. Just wanted to put that out there before it happens.

I would probably count it as one..

Then yes.

Then yes.

Now that I think about it, a lot of us cubers probably have some sort of mental disorder or illness.

The poll disagrees with you, but I had expected it to be about 60/40 in favor of "no."

EDIT: Also, I just read the wiki on AS, and about half of it sounds pretty descriptive of me. I am intrigued.

I meant in comparison to non-cubers.

Weird thought: What if some of us vote for "no" because they do not want to tell anyone that they have a mental disorder/illness, because of their mental disorder/illness?

I haven't voted

Ah never mind, just a stupid thought then, I guess...

I dissagree. I like to hope that nothing in this thread is viewed as stupid or anything like that.

I don't think I have an illness. although me getting easily attached to fictional characters, and/or fictional things making me so emotional could be a problem. Maybe I'm just sensitive though? I probably should've voted speculation, but I voted no before thinking about it.

Do you mean that people tell you that you have autism, or that you have read about it and some of the characteristics fit you.

You don't seem to be autistic, judging by your YT videos, but I can't be sure, I'm not a doctor

I would say that voting no was the right option for you at this time. You may be obsessive in some ways, but that in itself is not a disorder to my knowledge.
