Self-Diagonsis:

Compulsive spending
Addictive personality
Extreme stubborness
Obsessive/Compulsive (I wash my hands constantly)



That's about it. As far as I know.

how do you guys go about with this 'self' diagnosis..? do you read up on symptoms you feel you have, in books and on the net, or from what other people tell you in social circles etc.

I just started taking Zoloft for:

Medium severity Social Anxiety Disorder
Very mild OCD

and what do you like/have to keep doing with that compulsive dissorder?...

cos I have to do certain things in certain orders around the house, just before I go out, otherwise, when I leave the house driving down the road, my minds on what I should've done back home for ages.

Attention Deficit Disorder- fancy way of saying I have the attention span of a mosquito.

There are different levels of OCD. For me, it's counting stairs as I go up/down them. I have to make the flight of stairs in 6 steps, or multiples of 6. I tap my feet and hands on the ground/desk/chest/whatever convenient location there is. Also, if I touch something with just one of my fingers, I have to touch it an equal amount of times with the rest of them.

You like backwards sex???

Being annoying is not a mental disorder, dear, no matter what people may tell you.

Narcolepsy sucks. I used to have it, but I found out I was anemic and just needed more iron in my blood.

No, I don't actually think it's a good idea to do a self-diagnosis. I just wanted to reply. In reality, there's probably nothing wrong with me at all.

A lot of mine is self diagnosis, but I spent the better part of a year reading medical journals and researching online before I was satisfied with them.

The depression/anxiety are doctor diagnosed.

That's EXACTLY what I'm talking about. I do the same thing with remotes. It's crazy, and can be quite maddening.
