-- Posted by snowcone200 at 8:33 pm on May 19, 2008 I would like to know is there anyone here who has a disability either mental or physical. Because I have a question for you, whenever you first told your people,friends or family about it. Did you ever try to seem strong about it like it don't bother you that much as people probably think it would? I notice I often downplay the seriousness of my illness and I just now realize that my cystic fibrosis is probably the cause of my sever depression. I just googled depression and cystic fibrosis and there was just so many web pages on it. Often when I tell somebody about my illness they be like "Oh shit" and I just say it ain't that bad. But now I realize that depression is probably a sure thing if you have cystic fibrosis. -- Posted by ghostatmypc666 at 8:35 pm on May 19, 2008 i have schizophrenia, depression and OCD. -- Posted by Frenchie3477 at 8:35 pm on May 19, 2008 Thats because the person is compassionate enough to try not to worry the other person about your illness. Though you don't have to get into detail and spill your emotions out to everyone, you should talk to someone about your depression. It feels alot better, coming from someone with an anxiety disorder. -- Posted by Hunnie17 at 8:39 pm on May 19, 2008 i have bi-polar, depression, add, adhd, and ocd -- Posted by Joep0113 at 8:39 pm on May 19, 2008 Eh well...not to sound mean but perhaps you could get some pity pussy if need be. -- Posted by Rayne237 at 8:40 pm on May 19, 2008 I have to many problems to talk to my family about. They don't want to here them all!! If you don't have any one to talk to, then IDK. Maybe you should. It can get really fucked up, and will only keep getting worse, until you decide to do something about it. -- Posted by Rayne237 at 8:42 pm on May 19, 2008 If you make it a serious problem, then it will be. If you think you can let it go, then you'll only keep getting smarter every day, and fuck...You'll also be pretty fucked in the head! -- Posted by idontgivea at 8:44 pm on May 19, 2008 Quote: from Joep0113 at 8:39 pm on May 19, 2008 Eh well...not to sound mean but perhaps you could get some pity pussy if need be. lol awesome      i just found out i have something. maybe there is pity pussy around? -- Posted by youSPUNKYnub at 8:48 pm on May 19, 2008 not really. im a dumbass at math. i have an IEP for that -- Posted by memphis bells at 6:29 am on May 20, 2008 i have social anxiety and slight OCD -- Posted by Coromaborealis at 12:20 pm on May 20, 2008 Blind in my left eye. Depression Anxiety -- Posted by Sunshine Buddy at 1:57 pm on May 20, 2008 I have FOP. I've never really told any of my friends the full extent of my condition. It doesn't bother me that much, sometimes I get upset and have a cry but other than that I just get on with my life. -- Posted by IamMelissa at 1:59 pm on May 26, 2008 when I tell people about mine, I tell them "do not feel bad for me". and when I say that, they treat me like normal. but If i dont say it, they treat me like I am fragile I have one chamber in my heart.. yadda yadda.. i have a post about it if u look at topics I made...I need a double lung and heart transplant. -- Posted by BlueEyedBrielle at 3:35 pm on May 26, 2008 I have Asperger's Syndrome, ADHD and bipolar disorder all in one lol. And I'm a little embarrassed about it, but I don't mind telling people who know a little about it. I tried not to feel so scared -- Posted by simpleprincess at 6:12 pm on June 13, 2008 i have a de-formed left hand...... -- Posted by angel2fire at 9:13 pm on June 22, 2008 I have a physical and mental disability. (2 seperate ones.) I wasn't strong when I told the people close to me (because its important for them to know how I really feel and I know I can rely on them to support me.) But to a lot of people, yeah I just act like "oh its nothing." Just do what makes you feel comfortable :) -- Posted by Avenue D at 1:06 am on June 23, 2008 One of my arms is broken, I have some stitches in my other arm because a goddamn black BUG with two tails attacked me and slit my arm completely all the way down that I had to stitch the thing back up because the blood was hemmorhaging all over the floor and my feet, my left knee is sprained and bruised and shizz because I tripped over this one stone and hit my knee on this other stone, which I later kicked against the side of a building in anger, but this backfired since the projectile flew back at me and now I have a black eye, haha.  So you make the call.  Do I personally think I have a physical disability?  Well, not really because it's not stopping me from working, and my injuries are really not all THAT painful.  I don't like moan in agony all the time.  I've experienced worse. As for mental problems, I have depression, anxiety disorder, and polysubstance addiction.  The mental problems are extremely severe (notice how I type somewhat normally despite having been drinking beer and Stoli all day long?) but I told my family immediately (I first told Melissa, my sister whom I love and is very close to me) about the depression because I thought that that was the most serious one, but it later turned out that the anxiety was the thing causing the most problems.  So now I'm taking medicine for depression and anxiety.  As for the polysubstance addiction, eh, well, both Melissa and I drink heavily, so do our parents, so it's sorta like a non-issue in my family. -- Posted by foreign lauren 2 at 1:38 am on June 23, 2008 i have impaired vision i'm not ashamed to be a 4-eyes -- Posted by Avenue D at 2:48 am on June 23, 2008 Quote: from foreign lauren 2 at 1:38 am on June 23, 2008 i have impaired vision i'm not ashamed to be a 4-eyes Glasses are   Haha, good for you to not be ashamed of that -- Posted by Sbgurlie at 7:13 am on June 23, 2008 I have spina bifida/hydrocephalus               -- Posted by juicymo at 9:23 am on June 23, 2008 i have fcrf since i was 13 and most of my friends don't know how bad it is... but when i tell them they worry and i tell then not to.....i had a kidney transplant.....and have already had a slight relapse....so i don't think I'm ashamed about it though...
