Is it rare to have 7 different mental illnesses?

rare disease

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.

    I think you have food allergies or you have what i think i have and that is undiagnosable diabetes that makes anything you eat that has easily digestible sugar or a sugar that is absorbed fast make your brain go for a field trip…..

    There’s a doctor in Ohio or somewhere over there that cures type two diabetes by making her patients eat no carbs!!!!!

    Its funny because the government has been telling everyone else the opposite or to manage carbs……

    I would just give a very low carb diet a try…..

    Another words eat just meat and low carb vegetables and most nuts but no peanuts…..
