I have FPP (fantasy prone personality) (I don't think it's a disorder though) ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) and maybe insomnia

 
I'm severely allergic to everything on the inside and outside except horses. (This includes trees, grass, cats/dogs/cockroaches, dust mites, mold, etc.) I go once a week to the allergist to get four allergy shots, two in each arm.

I'm also allergic to foods: egg yolk (egg whites are fine), milk, brazil nuts, walnuts, tomatoes, strawberries, and bananas. (Not sure if there's any more, but those are all of the ones I was tested on.)

Due to all of the allergies that I have, in recent months I found out that I had ezcema. For years, I developed painful, itchy bumps on my hands and feet. I was so embarrassed of them when they occured, had no idea what they were, and were gone as fast as they came. They appeared on my hands just in time that I was going to my allergist's office for an appointment. Turns out it was, in fact, ezcema.

I am being treated for endometriosis on a birth control regimen. My doctor doesn't know for certain if it's what I have, but the pain in my abdomen has improved quite a bit since taking them.

I went to the doctor recently due to my stomach feeling awful, and I can't remember what it's called, but I have a disorder of the entrance of my stomach which causes food not to go down properly, but in fact, travel up and down the esophagus once it's swallowed. (It's something along those lines, I can't remember what he said. Doctors and their doctoral terms.) I'm being treated for it now with medicine. Once it's treated, however, it has a 70% chance of recurrence.

And last but not least, I have been diagnosed as having Bipolar II or Major Depressive Disorder alongside Generalized Anxiety. To be honest, I've been to a handful of psychologists and recieved different diagnoses in conjuction with therapies and medicines that just haven't worked for me over the course of (almost) a decade. So, in my mind, I really can't claim any of what they have diagnosed me with.

(Pertaining to those mental disorder diagnoses that I've recieved, if I had to say for myself what I had, I would say that I definitely have some sort of anxiety disorder. Especially in the social department. The crippling fear of social interaction has held me back so much in my lifetime so far, but I have done my best to put myself in those situations that I fear so that it can improve. I'm not where I'd like to be, though.)

I'm beginning to think I have Aspergers because

1) I feel really shy, awkward and tense in social situations. I feel like people cannot warm to me as I'm too "quiet" and "boring". However, I know how to socialise though and some people with ASD don't, plus I have friends and I still try to make conversation, even though it makes me feel tense I do it and feel so much better afterwards. I also don't speak when I'm in groups because I feel awkward and talk more when I'm with other people alone. Maybe I'm just shy.

2) I can't concentrate in class. My brain literally changes the subject to something else. I sometimes have to read things very very carefully to process information even though my iq is above average. Plus, I have a fiddling problem and fiddle with, therefore break everything I touch. Can't help it though. I've been told off before for doodling in my book which I genuinely can't help. Maybe I have ADHD instead.

3) I'm clumsy, spill things everywhere and I'm always in my own little world. My reaction times are slower than others because I'm always thinking about something else. Plus, in Pe, I could never hit the shuttlecock in badminton whilst everyone can due to coordination. Maybe I have dyspraxia instead.

4) I showed all the signs to autism when I was a child. In fact, it wasn't til I was about 12 when I started realising I was not normal and now most of the autistic signs had disappeared for me which is why I'm not 100% sure I have it. However, unlike some people with ASD I can understand people, empathise with them and make friends like normal people only I'm too shy. some people say people with aspergers cannot understand people, does that mean I do not have it simply because I do understand people?

Feel free to help me if you know a bit more than me haha :)

 
Clinical depression, social anxiety, maladaptive daydreaming disorder, and I'm not sure if this counts but perfectionism. Well, more on the negative side :c also, I used to have pica. Aaaaaaannnndddd I have asthma. Well, not all the time, but I keep getting it right after I recover from a fever. And usually get fevers riiight before exams. Not sure if this is just an annoying coincidence or just bad luck lmaoo

 
My mother has Schizoaffective disorder, like a cross between mild bipolar and schizophrenia, and though I don't want to self diagnose because I know it usually/doesn't ever work, I think I might have borderline personality disorder myself. I seem to have many of the symptoms associated with it. I've been seeing a psychiatrist recently to try and find out just what is happening with me but its a long process. I do have severe stress and anxiety though, and my boyfriend has been super supportive through it. He's even offered to pay for my medication, magnesium citrate complex tablets because I can't afford them at the moment.

I also have Polycystic ovary syndrome and hip dysplasia, where my hip socket didn't form properly at birth.

 
I've.....got quite the list. I have Asperger Syndrome, but it's been managed quite well thanks to the wonderful care and help I've received from my parents and professionals in the community in childhood, and the great support system in place at my university now. I have a few close friends and have been in a stable relationship for 2 years, and I am progressing well towards my science degree.

I still struggle with things, though. One of my biggest problems is that I often misread peoples' emotional state. For instance, I will interpret something that someone says as an insult or an angry comment, when they did not mean it that way. I will think people are bothered or sad when in fact they're just fine. It's so confusing to me

-____-; If someone tells me explicitly how they are feeling, though, I can get on their level and everything is fine from there. I kinda make friends by osmosis, in that people come up to me and start talking rather than the other way around. I am so bad at starting conversations.

I have some related attention and anxiety problems which can present difficulties regarding schoolwork, deadlines, and tasks where it can be dangerous to mess up, such as driving.

I also have rather persistent anaemia and I am deaf in one ear.

 
Nothing, and feel greatful and blessedfor it :) unless being 10kg overweight counts...

 
Everything is fine with me, except for my hands. My hands sweat nearly all the time to the point when my hands are dry i'm uncomfortable. And it makes it very annoying to touch anything. Also occasionally the skin on my hands will crack really badly, especially on my fingertips, and it makes it hard to hold things. I once made my hands bleed from clapping too much :/ It's happened so much that there are now shallow grooves on my fingers and I can't make clear fingerprints lol and tons of lines all over my palms. So yeah I don't like people touching my hands. But its really not that hard to deal with.

 
i have dermatophagia and i think dermatillomania? dermatophagia is when you bite skin off your fingers and even swallow it. dermatillomania is picking at the skin o-o which i do also but not as much as biting it. my fingers are kind of chewed up looking and i have really short fingernails and i even bite my finger knuckles and my cuticles. its kind of gross sorry

 
I don't think I really have anything...But I might be Autistic...I don't know, really. But I am allergic to a ingredient in a medicen that gives me hives, does that count? I also have a friend who's Autistic. And I admit that I have used OCD/Autism as an exsuse before, call me a jerk if you want, but I've learned to be better than that.

my therapist thinks i have depression and tbh i gotta agree with her. idk i dont wanna self diagnose

 
I see a lot of people who is suffering (or is recovered -congratulations guys-) from eating disorders, anxiety and depression.

I suffered both EDs, anorexia and bulimia. It was really hard to fight alone and I'm very proud of it.
In these past 4 years I've been under a depression which wasn't diagnosed, but now I'm following a treatment even if I hate pills and I'm doing it well :) The problem is that I'm too perfectionist and workaholic -___-

Moreover, my figures collection has grown a lot recently and if I don't stop this right now, it could become on a real problem (I'm currently unemployed).
 
I know I've mentioned in this topic before that I have Asperger's Syndrome, but I don't think I've mentioned I also have Social/Situational Anxiety.

 
I have a auto-immune disease called Hashimoto's disease. It affects my thyroid (makes it work slower/kills it). This results in these symptoms for me:

- Hair loss

- Fatigue (as if I've been walking around a shopping center for hours when in fact it's like noon and I've been sitting all day)

- Low fertility

- Eczema

- Constipation

- Weight gain/hard to lose any weight at all

- Mood swings

- Panic attacks (feeling like you have to throw up, dizzyness, sweating)

- Night sweating

- Vitamin D deficiency

- Allergies (to anything airborne like pollen, animal hair, dust mites)

Eventhough I get medication for it, most of these issues have remained. I'm still going to a specialist in the hospital to fix the issues above. It's hard when you're in your twenties and you can't go out and party/have dinner/birthdayparty's with your friends because you're always tired.
