A thought occured to me…if people get treated for depression, are there any cases (surely rare) that someone is too euphoric and needs treated? Is there a name for that disease?

Is it rare to have 7 different mental illnesses?

When I was in middle school, I was diagnosed with ocd, depression, and socail anxiety disorder. In the past year and a half or so, I was also diagnosed with bipolar(2), schizotypal personality disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and body dysmorphic disorder (I’m not to sure if that was an actual diagnosis though. My therapist said it sounds like BDD, but that it could also be from my other issues). Then, on april 3rd I got diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (which is a rare connective tissue/collagen disorder). Do you think having all these things wrong with me somehow makes it more possible to rare things to happen to me or common things to happen to me in a rare way? I feel like I collect diagnoses. I have an immense fear of HIV, so when I hear that having all these things wrong plus a rare tissue disorder, I’m always scared I’ll catch the disease in a “rare” way, even though I don’t have sex, do drugs or anything like that. Is my fate wacked out or something? Would you be scared if you had more than 1 rare thing going on with you? Would you feel like you were in danger or something?

Thanks!
Also, I have a learning disability. Dyscalculia (numbers/math). and my therapist thinks I also have dyslexia because I sometimes can’t process information.

Treating Anxiety

As described by the AMA, is the disease concept of addiction to the drug alcohol “human friendly?”?

Having been addicted to the drug alcohol, I have listened to my conscience speak (ID or addictive voice). It seems to enjoy hearing the “disease concept” and powerlessness of addiction as described in Alcoholics Anonymous. Through a deep thought process of examination of why this clever “addictive voice” listens for signs of weakness of self, I have discovered that it is seeking permission to use drugs; the disease concept of addiction is considered by my addictive voice to be a fault of my self and attempts to over-ride logic that is found in another part of my brain. Since I do not wish to engage in drug using behaviour, I use self-discipline to arrest this addictive voice, and often satisfy its demands with a more healthy behaviour like exercise of good food.
Alcoholics Anonymous tells its members that the use of self-discipline (aka self-will) is not to be used. and is dangerous. These AAers tell people that they are “powerless”! Is addiction a disease? or $$

Is AA a cult?

Anxiety and Panic Attacks

Should I be worried about this upon my own behalf?

Angel7t9

So much stuff is going on in my life and I feel completely stressed and lost. I feel very aggravated about the situations that are going on. I am loosing my mental strength to fight the situation. I have been completely betrayed. I feel this betrayal will make it hard for me to accomplish any goals. So I just have this feeling of giving up. I DO NOT want to kill myself, but I want to die. I just want something just to happen to me. (car accident, a sudden rare disease, something…) Is this normal? Are these the feelings that needs to be told to a psychologist? I am broke. I can’t afford one, if I do need one. Bills will be more fuel to the fire. Will these feelings pass and I should be too worry about it?
