- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) - It causes me to do things that others would view as strange, but I -have- to do them, otherwise things don't feel right and I feel off until I do it. Thankfully it's only a mild case, but it still tends to be a problem in my life sometimes. For example, in highschool I used to have to turn my locker dial until it just felt right before I could actually start doing the combination, and sometimes if it was a while before it felt right it could make me late to class. Another strange thing I used to do was collect dead batteries, but I've been working on fighting that compulsion for years and now I can manage to throw away most batteries :)
- Insomnia - It's a right pain a lot of the time. Sometimes I end up crying because I so desperately want sleep but am unable to get it. I've had a few bouts of insomnia that have lasted 36~40 hours, and trying to function in daily life on no sleep for that long absolutely sucks. More commonly though my insomnia keeps me awake until the early morning hours--five, six, sometimes seven, and then I catch a few hours of sleep before work (or school, in the past). It also has me unable to sleep steady throughout the night, and the slightest change in a room can wake me up. I've also never had a restful night's sleep, because even when asleep I'm plagued by nightmares--yet another reason I have trouble falling asleep--I'm afraid.
- Lactose Intolerance - I can't eat most dairy. About the only thing I can handle is small amounts of cheese (preferably colby!), like for tacos or a grilled cheese. I can also eat about three bites of ice cream without problem, otherwise forget it. The good thing is I don't even like most dairy, and I loathe milk, so it's not a huge problem |D
- Vertigo - idk, I just get vertigo sometimes--I'll be still and the next thing I know the world is spinning around me. It doesn't happen very often and it doesn't last for very long, so I don't think it's indicative of any major problem like a balance disorder, but it is rather annoying when it does happen.
- Headaches/Migraines - I get headaches almost daily, and as I have trouble swallowing pills and chew them instead, this makes me very relucant to take aspirin for my headaches. They're nearly always tension headaches these days because I'm often stressed out, but when I was in highschool I'd occasionally get bad migraines that would leave me stuck in bed and missing class all day. The last migraine I had was when I was seventeen though, and I hope to keep it that way.
- Social Anxiety Disorder - I do not like people and I definitely do not like being around them. Crowds make me panic. The end.
