I've had a lot of problems growing up, going through school, and now as an adult out on my own, and I've been in and out of doctors for this kind of thing in the past, with multiple diagnoses over the years and with s--- just gradually getting worse as time goes on, it's been hella frustrating for me.

So well, after losing a job I just got to my anxiety yesterday, I went and got re-evaluated this morning and got confirmation on somethings that I was pretty sure I already knew or had been diagnosed with before. I have Major Depressive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and the misdiagnoses before that for ADD, Bi-Polar and Tourrettes come from those and also: me now being put on the Autism Spectrum.

It explains a lot to me, and hopefully will help me understand what's been wrong and how to go about coping with all the problems it brings. I'm seeing a counselor tomorrow morning and have been deferred to another psychiatrist for possible medication (though most likely only for my Anxiety, as meds for depression don't fare well with me, and ASD isn't treatable).

i would never have been able to tell something was bothering you unless you opened up about it..and that just shows how essential speaking up about your issues can be. you cant shy away from speaking up and finding a way to channel your problems and eventually work through them. im so glad you took the steps necessary up until now man. i know for a fact you'll be fine.

stay strong @Cyreides Does your psyche have effect on your body ? Do you know the roots of your anxiety and depression ?

i have Generalized Anxiety Disorder as well that I get prescribed Klonopin for currently, really helps keep my anxiety under control and feel normal, I prefer it over Xanax (that I was prescribed at first) which lasts 4-5 hours whereas Klonopin last 8-10 hours. Much longer. Which is why I chose to switch from Xanax to Klonopin. I don't have nearly as many anxiety/panic attacks on the Klonopin as I did when I was on Xanax

Great job actually talking about it. That's the first step in getting better.

Wish the best of luck to you

I've always been sceptic and have hard time understanding how exactly a psychiatrist can diagnose what problems you have. Don't want to break the mood here, but how exactly can a psychiatrist prove you actually have those problems? I know there are a whole lot of real mental issues out there just like there are physical issues but i'm sure that 90% of the problems people complain about having are just in their your head.

"I have a hard time learning in school, i must have add" or "Oh, i fee sad all the times, i must suffer from depression." If you ask me, a lot if not most "cases" of mental issues or diagnoses are just bs.

It wouldn't even surprise if most people who were diagnosed unconciously worsen their state of mind because some psycologist told them they had a problem. But instead of trying to improve and hitting themself in the head and trying to change they just dwell and tell themselves they suffer from this disease.

I don't want to sound like an ignorant a------, and i'm definitely not underestimating the problems you have. I'm just saying, i think a lot of cases are like this.
