Choosing a mental illness? 2010-06-10 21:20:32 Reply

Well guys? If you had to be cursed with some horrible form of mental illness and you had a choice as what kind of illness, which would you choose and why? I'd either be shizophrenic or autistic. Schizophrenics go through worse shit than people on LSD. Autism makes you special, and it isn't horribly debilitating, so I could still survive in the world.

Well guys, what would you choose?

It's totally not fake, noone will call you on it AND you can use it as a catch all excuse for being a fucking inbred idiot!

I have ADHD, depression, OCD, ADHD, probably schizophrenia(or I'm just a sociopath or have some disease of the sort), ADHD, oh hey look a gnome is on my desk...
*ahem*
But I guess I would choose psychopathy. It sounds fun. HEE HEE

I'm appalled that so many of you (without mentioning names) are so ignorant when it comes to various mental illnesses.

You know what I would choose? Nothing. Not even ADD.

I know, right?
I was just making a joke about the stereotypes that come with ADHD. And I do have most of those illnesses I listed.

Great choice, man.

I can tell you what you likely don't have, especially considering your age: schizophrenia.

Also, you put down ADHD twice.

I have NVLD as well. Although, its not really a mental illness. I might have bipolar disorder as well, though its still undiagnosed.

Not wanting to choose a mental illness kills the fun of this thread.

I have anxiety disorder and PDD (basically Asperger's, but they couldn't get me for that), and probably also either depression or bipolar disorder. So pretty much any of those except depression/bipolar/whatever, they don't really affect my life.

Most mental illnesses, ie; aspergers. Are made up by teachers, as an excuse to make their job easier. So they dont get sacked for doing a crappy job. When they really were/are undergraduate piss ups who missed out from getting a masters. I know this since my friends are teachers, and they're drunken assholes.

Schizophrenia would be awful.
All of them would be, but out of all of them I'd have to choose depression. I've had it my whole life and it's something I am learning to deal with more and more every day. Now if I could get rid of my paranoia and some sort of schizophrenic shit I'd be happy as fuck.


Yeah, whatever.
