(Nope. I spent a very large portion of my early childhood only being treated for what my doctors/family/school/peers thought were "mental" issues. I won't go into all that, 'cause frankly it's a fucking messy story and they really screwed my life up. It's the main reason I have no respect at all for the mental health district. Anyway, since they were too busy focusing on that shit, they never really payed attention to all the physical ailments I had, and they only even noticed the nose blockage part a few years back, when it got treated. On a side note, that operation had to happen twice, the second time by one of the country's top nose/mouth/ears doctors, and he even said it was one of the worst cases he'd ever seen; that operate was not pretty. I had to be rushed to be emergency room a few days after the second time it happened due to extreme blood loss. As for the "fibromyalgia" or whatever it is thing, doctors never could figure out what it was and stopped trying. They're still just preoccupied with how "crazy" I am. So yeah, no treatment really. I've had to pretty much just suck it up and survive. I think I've ranted too much for one post though.)

Lol you're fine bro. There have been a shitload of convos here so...you're not the first or last to post this much. And holy hell...I noticed that sometimes with bodily or mental issues that befuddle the docs, where they try this and that and basically make you a guinea pig, makes you lose faith in them. Happens to my dad at times where they had him try all types of meds that gave him terribke side effects and more problems that what he originally had. If you dont mind me asking, how old are you?

I was diagnosed with a serious case of insomnia in which I required medication to force myself to sleep, simply because my brain refused to go to sleep normally regardless of your "de-stress" exercises or whatever. It took me years to re-adjust my sleeping habit, but now it's going haywire again due to school projects, exams and other RL woes. :/

@tsukune

(Ah, yeah. Definitely a pain in the ass, I imagine. Hopefully you get that worked out. With my whole can't switch off thing, it usually translates to me sometimes basically only being able to fall asleep when I more or less become so exhausted I just collapse. Sometimes I go days without sleeping and then sleep excessively long periods, other times I sleep normally, and then sometimes I'll only get a few hours a day. Maintaining a sleep pattern is really difficult for me, but I had a decent one going until this nonsense with my internet started and had to just wait til I got too exhausted, like I mentioned, only now my pattern is really inconvenient because of when I got tired, so I need to force it back to a more manageable pattern. I'll either be doing an all-nighter/all-day now, or trying to rest again shortly. Ideally I need to be awake in about 5-7 hours from now.)

@King Tai

(Thanks to my whole "not really care what other people think of me" thing, I was really more going off at myself for talking too much, and wasn't particularly thinking about whether or not you guys would think I'm ranting. Though, admittedly, a lot of people think I rant all the time. I guess it's just a force of habit for me to think that way due to it. Either way, good to know people here are more open-minded, which was the vibe I was getting from some of the people here at least. Anyway, yeah, I'm pretty much a living example of the whole "guinea pig" thing you just mentioned, and I really dislike doctors (who focus on mental disorders specifically) because of it. Some of the side effects, and the general stigma I went through my whole life because I wasn't "normal", pretty much caused me to never have anything resembling a childhood or adolescence. I more or less had to spend a bunch of years using my own understanding of human psychology and sheer force of willpower to piece my mind back together after 25+ years of having my head fucked with by everyone. I'm 32, and turning 33 on November 17.)

@NekoMizu

lol the numbers were screwed up, further up on the page and I just counted it to where we should be right now :).

@Shoryu Magami

Well I'm one less person to worry about with the ranting. But I'm sorry to hear about all that crazy shit you went through. I'm assuming you're done with doctors on that dept unless you really need to see them? That's what's up! I'm 30 myself.

(Take a look further back. @Duthguy made a mistake, probably because he didn't see new posts come up while he posted.)

66, or 67 if Neko's post counts.
