When you mentioned not looking people in the eye ... that's like the story of my whole life! I always had difficulty staring deep into people's eyes as it always felt all too personal. Not to mention i always had some reading comprehension issues growing up and was selected to attend special ed classes for a little while as i was going into junior high. ((Btw, I posted a comment like this earlier upon my initial reaction, but apparently it was taken down. I'm not sure why. it was far more detailed and much longer than this... But in any case, i thought i'd write a brief overview of it to let you know that i DEEPLY resonated with alot of these symptoms you covered here. I never really went to a doctor to get diagnosed for anything though. GREAT TOPIC. .)) 👍👍✨✨
Just started the video, and before getting into the message, i must say AWESOME lighting here! 💡 And i noticed the shave, lookin good, my man! 👍✨ .. Cant wait for the rant! ... lol
I'm officially diagnosed with depression, anxiety, social anxiety, OCD and suicidal ideation, but I also show symptoms of body dysmorphic disorder (which is an anxiety disorder) because I hate the way that I look due to losing my hair and possible Aspergers (or maybe ADHD) but because of my social anxiety I really don't feel like wanting to visit the doctor to get checked out. Also, the mental health services are vastly underfunded in UK at the moment, so getting a proper diagnosis may not be effective enough. I want to get back to normal, but it's so hard because of the way society is at the moment. Because of my depression and anxiety combined with my OCD, I avoid taking baths for weeks/months at a time, that's a clear sign of very poor mental health. 😔 By the way I'm 29 from near Manchester. As a kid I used to hide under tables in nursery, I'm not sure whether that is connected to the fact I'm undiagnosed ADHD or Aspergers. Gaaah, it makes me so frustrated.
Hello young man, I am a 60 year old philosopher (started thinking philosophically at 15 and have two degrees). My thinking is that if a man does not feel profoundly saddened by the current state of affairs then he really does have serious mental problems. You therefore sound perfectly normal to me. Unfortunately there is no place to escape for those who see the dysfunction and are forced to interact with a completely dysfunctional community. Thus, overcoming one's likely rational reaction to insanity as avoidance of interacting with it is somewhat difficult. May I inquire as to your connection to your father?
You realize I don't fit into a diagnosis despite not functioning right? I don't self diagnose but the only time I would is an outdated diagnosis because it's not recognized anymore so I don't feel too bad about it. For physical health stuff in my case most things are proven by doctors. I don't hate people who self diagnose, there's so many labels so not every doctor will get it right.
RANTMAN, given the failure of credentalist meritocracy that we see, placing undo importance on a technocratic assessment is likely misguided. The person who knows one best is oneself. Certainly good friends may have special insights, but nevertheless, one has been gifted life and it is incumbent on oneself to be the pilot. Read some R.D. Laing.
I know you have talked alot about your messed up sleep schedule and it seems you are okay with taking prescription drugs from what I gather (you talked about CBD Oil + Circadin/Melatonin) I went to the Dr and tried a whole bunch of sleep/antidepressant drugs and Mirtazipine works increrdibly well for sleep and doesn't blunt your emotions much, not as much as the other stuff, I only take a quarter of a 30mg pill and I easily sleep 8 hours without it, even when I drink literally a whole bottle of wine, I wake up in the night sometimes. When I was working a horrendus job and not taking the drug the stress of going back to work on a sunday night woke me up every hour. You should ask a GP about it if you are serious about fixing your sleep.
"Either you treat me well or you f*ck off! ... There's no in-between." SAME HERE! ... 😆

I self diagnose my patient,an organ within my body,from other sensory organs of my body,with autism.

My sleep schedule is good for a short period of time than it gets screwed up again for months
I think you make a lot of good points!
"Mental health issues" are not a get-out-of-jail free card. Jeanette Amin tho, by that?
