I have depression and anxiety/panic disorder. That's all that has been found so far I think. The depression is in check with meds and the anxiety is in check to livable amounts. It was first found out 9 years ago but probably came about even earlier than that. I know there was a time before anxiety/depression but I can barely remember it.


And I am also autistic, but that isn't a mental illness :dry: Though the effects of being autistic in a neurotypical's world could've certainly brought upon my mental illnesses.

I think I have PTSD.
It started when I was in 9th grade.

I don't take any treatments.
I went for help to my family and friends and classmates.

I was agoraphobic around adolescence but I've learned to cope with it. I've reduced it to about 10% or so. The only meds I take is something based on passion flower + valerian and pot to calm me down in the evening. I went through some rough times but I'm so glad I've made it through and established a very normal life. All the best [MENTION=24479]themightyfetus[/MENTION] and everyone else with mental issues or family members.

I have mild to severe depression. The first encounter happened around three years ago and I've been having it on and off since. The truth is, only a few of my online friends know about it because of a turbulent event that exposed my depression a few months ago. I've been better since, but I'm trying to find my old self: that is, the one who depression has robbed me of.
