    Never been into a shrink, and like every self-respecting, conservative Finnish male, will probably never go.

    And anyway, what's the point: if they find out that I'm mad, what can they do? Give me some funny little pills that make me see little gnomes? Or put me to an asylum? No thanks. And I have deep distrust for doctors when it gets more complicated than a broken leg or a couch.

    I've never been diagnosed with any sort of mental illness but have to see the effects of depression on both my parents and my boyfriend. It's difficult when you see them in the morning and straight away from the look on their faces and the way they carry themselves you can tell it's a bad day. Sometimes I get upset because there's nothing I can do to help them or make it go away, but most of the time I try and just be supportive and make it easier on them

    Aspergers' syndrome - it's lonely - but I have to live with it, as there is no getting better, and no medication for it.

    I haven't been completely honest in my previous posts in this thread, I have also been diagnosed with Aspergers' - might as well be honest. There are people who'd use this against me, I don't think I need to bring their names up in this thread. But, I do have an Aspergers' diagnosis. A lot of people just assume I am shy. I am not sure if my Anxiety Disorder diagnosis goes hand in hand with my Aspergers' diagnosis or they are two separate afflictions that affect me. I had been medicated for both simultaneously at one point but now I am medication free and believe it or not I feel better than ever.

    I also suspect my father has it, but he was never officially diagnosed. My grandmother was diagnosed with Hypochondriasis in her sixties, and my father in his fifties is yet undiagnosed. But I am fairly certain he has Aspergers' too. He's still on the same medications I used to take. My sister, she's a lot like my grandmother in many respects. But she hasn't wanted to go to the hospital for a simple headache or a stomachache yet. The episode the other day was most likely attributed to my previously mentioned Anxiety disorder, sinus pressure which is now gone, and PMS. I rarely complain about little aches and pains, so likely it was just coincidental. I'm no longer worried I am dying right now.

Still get good and bad days, but never reach the suicidal stage these days.
    Is it possible that you (and Inese?) may suffer from cylothymic disorder rather than bipolar disorder?

    I suppose it is possible, but the diagnosis of cyclothymic disorder is never made when there is a history of mania or major depressive episode or mixed episode.

    I know what you mean. I suspect that I might have it, but I've never been diagnosed. I hate it when neuros treat it like a disease and then talk down to Asperger people (I hate the term "Aspy", they're not a freakin' breed of dog!), especially considering these people have IQs that eclipse neurotypicals.

    I was dragged to a psychiatrist when I was 10 or 11 to assess my severe violent streak and depressive moods.

    I have made it my mission in life to give two fingers up to psychies and dodge them at all costs.

    I'm autistic. A psychologist wanted me diagnosed when I was a child but my mother wouldn't have a bar of it. I don't need the diagnosis as I see a lot of my youngest son's (he has been diagnosed) in me. In this instance I believe it to be genetically predisposed. You live in a different world to everybody else, and it had been incredibly lonely at various times of my life, due mainly to the lack of understanding of what was happening to me.

    I had also been diagnosed with depression (and suffered post natal depression), but the tablets I took made me feel like a zombie and the headaches were also horrendous. I don't need a shrink to tell me how to live with myself - let alone drug me into a stupor. I do better without it. The worst period in this regard was when my father died, and yet I was able to not only live through it but come out at the other side.

    I think about who and what I have in my life, and my spiritual path has been my sanity saver. It still grips me from time to time but not in the same way it used to. I feel it's because I have a better understanding of who I am and what triggers these episodes.
