Yes! I have so many disorders that affect my every day life. It sucks to know that it isn’t temporary or something that will go away tomorrow.

Yes! This is exactly how I feel, I try not to ponder on it but it’s hard when (and I know I’m not supposed to) I compare the complexity of daily life for me to people who don’t have as many or any disorders.

I have thought about the list of mental and emotional disorders that I have and I do get upset by it.

I have excoriation disorder and OCD, depression, anxiety, adjustment disorder, and ADHD. Sometimes I think about how long that list is and it can be upsetting to me. I just wondered if anyone else felt the same way. Thank you for commenting

By autism I’m assuming you are more specifically talking about Asperger’s syndrome. I may have ocd, adhd, asbergers syndrome. I have doubts and constantly over analyze my self and the world. Seeking certainty. Sometimes I feel like I have anyone that screens me will find a issue related to the field they work in. Therefore making me a hypochondriac. But in reality I’m just me, I’m not the some of my problems. I can mitigate my issues by seeking help for issues about my self that I don’t like. It can be overwhelming if you look at them as a whole. But I’m 100% the more then one of them if not all the issues are related to one another. And all it will take is handling the one issue. If you handle one issue, and see that your not happy with who you are then it’s ok to target a different issue and not worry about relapsing and n the previous issue. No one is perfect! And it’s very unrealistic to look at a friend and be envious because they don’t have are your issues. They are going through something just as bad as us if not worse. All they’re doing is masking it better then us. They do have the same thoughts as us, they just dismiss it more readily. I don’t know if it’s healthy or not to focus on a friends issue and help them, when I have a raft in my own eye. Sorry if you im rambling :/ I’m sort of existential and go on and on sometimes...

No you aren’t rambling, all of what you said was extremely helpful and made me feel less alone. I know the reality is everyone has struggles and problems. But because our society views discussing our problems with others as socially inappropriate, it can be easy to forget. I need to focus on the friends I have that are open and don’t pass judgment.
