yeah, i take prescribe meds for it and also acts as an anti-depressant for when i need to increase the dose to treat both. idk why brain. i don't have full-on panic attacks, only anxiety attacks but can get very uncomfortable and irritating. it depends on the situation, surroundings and if there's been a trigger but meds have helped so damn much. i agree with the OCD part, constant anxiety from it can only imagine being so hard. i love talking about psychology.

`without worrying about people looking down upon me`
"people still will anyway." - whispers auri's anxiety. : )

*Sigh*

I spent 2 hours, 2 Hours, on literally trying to negotiate a hacker to not hack my account and sell my info online. Thankfully thats done. I guess thats 20$ out of my pockets and given to that guy.

Yeah I understand that. Living with ptsd and anxiety has proven difficult for me. The only reason I was able to be diagnosed was because it became a problem in my day to day life. I take no meds however because it only made everything worse. And this kinda stuff doesn't just go away.

-hugs-

I have slight ADD/ADHD and OCD as well, it sucks sometimes... sighs...
But at least I have to look on the bright side, some people have it worse than me!
I feel bad for them though because it sucks even though I just have a minor case and not severe...
Minor cases still suck really bad though too.

Me and husband got ourselves checked out by doctors and they said both of us have it.
Although my husband has a more severe case of ADHD/OCD than I do.

Eli does have anxiety just like I do because I have it and have been diagnosed with it. No I have not been diagnosed with autism but I suspect I have it since I relate to a lot of the symptoms and such. I believe that the stereotypes are very silly as everyone is different and autism is a spectrum. I fully wish to represent people with mental disabilities properly because I too have them and I wish to portray autism correctly. And while no, Eli does not have ptsd because he doesn’t have any trauma. I do not wish to really ever talk about autism in roleplay. I just want it in his profile so people can look and know why he does the things he does and why he feels a bit differently than others.

sorry i just read this. sorry to hear that. i guess you can, but again, you can't really change your mind later... but its still doable since your char can find coping strategies/mechs to improve etc. another argument and contradicting my previous one is that it takes practice to write better, whether you portray an autistic char correctly or not, its a learning point for you as a writer to represent characters more accurately i guess. hio is quite a nice rp site and not menacing twitter, doubt you'd get cancelled for it dont take my word for it though

yeah, everyone has their own experience. i personally find it helps me best, but it could also depend on your situation or experience/skill of doctor prescribing meds as i work closely with mine.

also goodnight guys, it so late for me

Heh yeah. I understand both sides of the argument here. (As I always try to) i do not plan on changing the char once I do say he has autism. Seeing as how that’s something I’ve already committed to. I am ready to take on responsibility for representing these people as I have so much respect for them. Since I’ve went through similar problems, I am able to portray them better in my writing. And while no my char will not be having meltdowns and such he will have very small anxiety attacks that don’t even really seem like much until you look into it. I want to be subtle because that’s how I’ve seen the world and what I’ve personally been through. Some of my panic attacks would seem to come at random to other people, while simply just a word would trigger something. And I’m actually laughing cause I don’t have any other platform besides this to get canceled on- but anyway. I try to have the best intentions in everything I do/say on this cite.

Ugh anxiety is THE worst...

Also panic attacks are really scary, husband had one and thought he was having heart attack, went to hospital and found out it was just a panic attack...

I had one at the same time due to loads of stress back at home but it wasn't as bad as his...

*hugs everyone*
