Does this make me weird?


I have moderate ADD, Anxiety, Nonverbal learning disorder and PMDD, i take medicine for the add and the anxiety and am on birth control for the pmdd and for painful cramps, my nonverbal learning disorder is mild

Weird would be someone who doesn't address these issues, you on the other hand are smart enough to deal with it.

hang in there doll

I wouldn't say "weird" I'd say "unique"

weird is in the way a person percieves it, some might think so , many wont. just be yourself.

Ummm...no not really. Seeing as my brother has ADD and suffers from short term memory loss. It's cool. So no, you're normal. Most people don't talk about their illnesses because of embarassment. So, trust me there's plenty of people that have the same thing you do, it's just that they don't have the courage to fess up.

You sound about like everybody else to me.

hey! you are for what you are. so what if you have to take meds for things? it doesnt make you weird. if anything, its only an odd conversation starter :)

That doesn't make you wierd because a lot of people have those problems. Taking steps to correct them makes you better then most people. Knowing you have these problems and doing nothing makes you worse of a person.

nah ur fine every1 is different

You're not weird at all. In fact, you're normal. Don't ever think you're the only person with problems.......you're not. You're a very special person :))))

Just what is wierd anyway?

No you are not weird. More like normal with the world now days. I have a list of DX's and so do alot of people I know and that doesn't make them weird. To me any more weird is actually finding someone that has nothing wrong with them. That is weird to me

Sounds like you might be concerned about being different, or perhaps having lots of difficulties? In point of fact, many people who have one mental health issue may often times have another. For instance, it is common for people with A.D.H.D. to have learning difficulties, anxiety or mood disturbance. Or maybe some of all three! This does not make you wierd. Nor does it define who you are. These are things that G-d has given you as challenges in this lifetime to overcome, and you will, with help, hard work and patience! And you rise to a higher level as a result. Medications can be very helpful in addressing these challenges. And it is not uncommon for people to be taking two or more medications at a time, provided that it is done mindfully and with thought and consideration as to how you are progressing, and that you have appropriate monitoring.

Good luck!

I'm probably the wrong person to ask, But, I don't think that you are weird.

I am Bi-Polar level 2 (rapid cycling. which means I can be manic and depressed several times a day, or every few days). I to suffer from Anxiety, ADD. And a learning disorder, I take loads of meds every day and most people can't even tell.
