Resolved Question

Do disorders affect anyone else's lives besides mine?

I suffer with two different types of disorders. OCD is one. Sometimes I tend to obsess and get fixated on certain ideas for a period of time, and it tends to get to certain people. Sorry if that's happened to anyone on here with asking certain questions more than once. I also have AS, which affects the way I interact and socialize with humans, and sometimes I really struggle with following through with directions. I'm trying to work past them, but it can be quite difficult. Does anyone else get affected by certain disorders they have? How does it affect your life?

I don't know that I have any disorders. Although I do know several other people who do. Yes...soemtimes it can 'get' to me. But then I have to remind myself they did not ask for it, nor is it something they can always control.
So... keep working through things for yourself. Remeber...the people who mind probably don't matter and the people who matter don't mind.

jacqdn	Posted Oct 16th, 2009 at 11:31AM Spider/insect phobia. I bought a house, and moved my mom in as pest control. I cannot enjoy the outdoors (even my yard) because of it, and am nervous about things getting in through door cracks. In places that I've encountered bugs, I cannot completely relax (e.g. in bathroom, I watch for spider coming again under the door). Rated: +1Vote for this!

arkansaskat	Posted Oct 15th, 2009 at 7:17PM Oh probably but I have never allowed anyone to "diagnose" me with anything ever aside from allergies. I have my crippling and nearly crippling things here and there and have never been called normal.. but that's me and after all these years I decided that I actually like me.. quirks and all!

RRK1	Posted Oct 16th, 2009 at 12:46AM I've suffered from depression since very early childhood. Of course, it was thought that children couldn't be depressed, but I showed them. It is getting better now, but I still have constant relapses, although becoming more frequent, but of shorter duration. What could I have accomplished with my life if I hadn't been depressed all my life? We'll never know. Rated: +1Vote for this!
