Issues xpresso is Interested In
- Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) - Like most ADD people, it's really hard to diagnose at times. When your keys wind up in your fridge, and your cats are plotting your death because you forgot to feed them again, it can lead to depression because people you love see it as forgetfulness, carelessness, and a myriad of other negative traits that you supposedly should be able to control. Since most of the medications are controlled substances, the government and insurance ask a gazillion questions from you and your doctor, as they often suspect you are out to get a high - which is really funny because you couldnt if you wanted to. You have to seriously rewrite your life with a myriad of rituals and routines to keep track of everything. Yet, ADD people can be extremely creative, charismatic, and hard workers, as they may suck at multitasking but can hyperfocus on other things for 6 or 7 hours at a time.
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) - It affects me differently because I am also ADD, which translates to "I DESPERATELY want to organize it - but I can't remember where I put it." extremely frustrating. My particular compulsion is perfection in all things work related - which ends up in not getting them done at all, or massively late.
- Depression - ick. depression sucks the most when it is with a myriad of other things. Some of my depression is just good ol' depression. Some of it comes from the ADD and OCD. Any normal person would be depressed if they didnt know where anything was and also were overwhelmed by the need and compulsion to find it.
- Stress - panic panic panic.
- Panic Attacks - like a thousand voices screaming for my immediate attention and my paralyzation and inability to answer a single one. it's like a mind implosion.
