What is an illness/disease that could keep someone from physical activity for 3 years?
I need to know for a short story I’m writing for school…the character wants to be a dancer but has not been able to dance for 3 years because of some illness, but I want it to be realistic. Not a deadly illness just one that you wouldn’t be able to dance, and an internal illness not an injury.
THANKS!
This may change your story line too much, but if the dancer is depressed over something in her life, that could have kept her from being a dancer. Often times those suffering from depression are practically incapable of physical activity and lose their ambition. It’s a constant cycle – she is unable to dance because of her depression and her inability to dance is pushing her further into depression.
What was the mental illness that James Frey claimed to have?
Either it was James Frey, or someone else, but I remember that there was someone who wrote a memoir but it wasn’t true and he was diagnosed with some sort of mental illness, or he claimed to have it. What was it?
Addiction
When did the symptoms of your mental illness start showing?
When did the symptoms of your mental illness start showing?
Did they start showing suddenly? Was it after a breakdown? What age did they start showing?
Oh yeah, what is your mental illness?
Well, I have been depressed for quite awhile and I also suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
I was abused at the age of 12 or 13 and my symptoms of depression first began showing up at the age of 15, when I wa so depressed that I wanted to hurt myself. The symptoms of PTSD started at the age of 18, when I still hadn't talked about my history of abuse and it was still repressed. I remember hearing this one triggering song and I had terrible flashbacks. The symptoms of PTSD were quite sudden but the depression has been going on for years. This is the first year where I feel significantly less depressed because I have found the right therapist, the right meds and the right friends to give me their support.
Good luck to all of you
What kind of mental illness causes you to eat your hair?
I met this girl over the weekend who eats her own hair. Not just like nibbling, but eats large chunks at a time. Apparently this is a mental illness, does anyone know what it is?
I believe it is called Pica. A friend of mine has it. She says it is caused by the amount of stress she is under and the fact that her mom used drugs while she was pregnant for my friend.
History of mental illness associated with patient misdiagnosis? How often does this happen?
I'm doing a research paper and would like to know how common this is.
If you have a history of some form or mental illness (depression, anxiety, OCD, ADD, etc) have you ever been discriminated against during a doctor's visit? For example: You complain of insomnia, random pain, etc and your doctor attributes your symptoms to your mental illness without doing any additional tests to determine if an unrelated illness is to blame.
Have you had any experience in this area? Do you have any info on this subject? Links would be wonderful!
Yes this has happend to me, i'm not sure if this what you need. But I have major depression, PTSD, anxiety, can't sleep. So I was raped in nov. ( I got looked at and everything) Will I went to my doctor and told her that i was having alot of pain down there. She told be that it was just a side effect from PTSD, my body reacting to it. So I belived her thinking it was all in my head. Will I went to Plan parenthood, to get a IUD. They have to make sure you are clean not infections before they palce it and they where checking me out and the frist thing she said me to me was oh hun, you have a major yest infection and a major baldder infection she said I have had it for awhile and if I would have waited any longer it would have go to my kidenys.
I hope this is kind of what you where looking for. I will try to think of others i know there is more. I'm sorry if this was not helpful.
Why do people think a mental illness is a weakness?
Alright first thing is first I have nothing against people who have long or short term mental illnesses.
There are many people out there who have something against people with mental illness, & I am wondering why is that I think its a lack of knowledge and people see people with mental illness as one and not by individual qualities & uniqueness.
Why do people think that a mental illness is a weakness and scared?
Do you think mental illnesses are a weakness or not and explain, & please be consecrate and think before you speak.
Well, I don't think mental illness is any more a sign of weakness than having diabetes or a cold. If we could control it, it really would not be an illness now would it? Anyone who thinks that it is a sign of weakness is simply not looking at the situation correctly.
