TMJ and occasionally (once) a fake-out heart attack. Otherwise lucky despite my poor diet and complete disregard of exercise My TMJ hurts like hell tho and I would trade any one of you to get rid of it

My cousin has it and I can't imagine having anything worse than my jaw spasming occasionally

I get migraines now and then, which is only really a problem if I don't have quick access to some Excedrin. Used to get them a lot more frequently/worse as a kid tho

Oh same. I got them CONSTANTLY as a toddler until about 4. It was so bad that I was constantly falling and hurting myself. My parents had to take me to a neurologist but they didn't find anything and I grew out of them. I still get them from time to time but not the same.

I remember once when I was little I went completely blind from one. It was terrifying.

oh my god I can always tell when one's coming on because my vision will start going. I immediately lay down and take nausea medicine

Do any of you ever wonder if you're on the spectrum but it was just "boys will be boys" when you were growing up? I'm always paranoid about that.

Go get diagnosed and get dat disability check sis

But one time I woke up and my shirt and chin were covered in blood. Opened my mouth and it was full of blood and my tongue was purple. My jaw locked on my tongue in the middle of the night and almost SEVERED IT! The teeth marks were meeting in the middle, it was disgusting but fixed itself in a few days. I've heard of people severing their tongue and then choking to death on it as they sleep. yikes Another time I woke up and couldn't open my mouth for about 4 hours before it finally just popped open

this is terrifying

This feels like group therapy

Tim @ 23/10/2017 20:43

BUFFY @ 23/10/2017 22:48

TMJ but not like Curtis (yikes). And migraines sometimes. Also, I keep reading this thread as "what's your damage?"

What's your diagnosis, Heather?

Did you get diagnosed with a brain tumor for breakfast, Heather?

Fuck me gently with clinical depression

Is it terribly ignorant of me to think that ADHD is actually a crock of shit? Cuz I do. I hate the way we've come to rely on pills to treat mental conditions. What happened to drinking whiskey and smoking crack? But srsly, there has to be a better way to combat mental illness right? I'm no expert of course, just my opinion. Based on my own experience, I believe I may have had social anxiety up until I was around 20. The way I beat it was to throw myself in at the deep end. Which I did by working behind a bar and performing on stage. Both those things forced me to face it. Honestly though, I sometimes wonder how much of it was just standard shyness which I grew out of, and how much could be attributed to an actual condition. I just know I've read the symptoms before, and it describes me 5 years ago to a tee. Is it something you're even supposed to be able to beat if it's a mental condition? I dunno. Whilst working behind the bar, there was an ex social worker who worked with problem children. She once told me that she thought I could be on the autistic spectrum, and that I may also have ADHD (of course, I ended up arguing with her about whether the last one exists (: Cuz I know so much more than someone who is actually qualified) I honestly don't think I'm afflicted with anything mental though, and no physical problems as far as I'm aware! I guess I drink too much and some people would call me a functioning alcoholic, but I just like a fucking drink. The recommended drinking limit is absurd anyway. BTW that TMJ shit sounds horrible and I preferred not knowing that it existed, so thanks for that.
