I don't get the alcohol addiction because of depression. Alcohol depresses me more than I already am to the point where I can get suicidal.

#1- OCD
Everyone thinks they are OCD because they like to do this one thing. It isn't OCD unless it severely disrupts your fricking life.
OCD has become a synonym for anal retentiveness or a few slight eccentricities.

OCPD is extreme "anal retentiveness"
OCD is having to touch your doorknob 7 times after you turned the light on/off 21 times before you can leave the house

If we're being technical, Alcohol is classified as a depressant. Although it has some effects of a stimulant.

pretty sure it is/can be both
this gets into the biological issues of alcoholism. just like how speed makes people with ADD more calm, i think alcohol makes people with the biological defect that leads to alcoholism stimulated. so for them, it's a stimulant in excess. for normal people, it becomes a depressant

It's no doubt a stimulant to me. I'm bouncing off th walls on alcohol. Friends call me Nemo when we go out because I'm this social butterfly running around getting lost.
And even after one drink i will sleep like shite that night almost like I snorted a gator tail.
I guess I can get down and depressed while hungover but that's because I feel like dog shite and probably embarrassed myself the night before.

Yup but I'd rather be 5'7" and success than 6' and not much of anything

Fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome and ADD
I won't say I hate my fibromyalgia patients, but my anxiety goes way the frick up when I see that in their chart before meeting them for the first time. They can be a handle. There are definitely some people with genuine hyperalgesia and chronic pain, but it's WAY overdiagnosed and people latch onto that.
Some other contenders are gluten sensitivity (only 7% of the global population has a true sensibility and a very small number have celiac), bipolar (outside of true psychiatry settings) and believe it or not skin cancer (in the sense that many patients will say every mole/SK/wary they've had frozen or cut off was "cancer")

There was/is a poster here that claimed she has fibromyalgia and that it's real. Can't remember who it is. I want to say it's nurse.
Def is not me. I'm sure SOME people actually have it. Others just seem like they want justification for being whiny as frick.

This is actually very common and very real. We can induce RLS with anticholinergics as well.
It also responds pretty well to medication

Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant. The resulting disinhibition can make people seem more "hyper" and social in the early stages of intoxication but alcohol slows everything from movements to reflexes to speech to thinking.

My bad. I thought I remember you talking about it once a twice, maybe it was just you calling women out on how ridiculous it is.

I hate the ADD/ADHD overdiagnosis. It's mostly people making an excuse for a lack of willpower and self-discipline that tends to negatively affect their school and work performance.
I know only one person who I think should actually be medicated for it. Without adderall, I don't think he would have passed high school and college or function at his job. It's sad that he has to take adderall. He actually doesn't like taking it because he recognizes that it affects his normal personality.

This post is absolute proof of the level of retardedness that is prominent in so many TD posters. According to you posters on here, scientific gain ended 25 years ago and anything not well established when you were a child is false. frick you are stupid! Its god damn embarrassing.
Most of you posters on here should be taken out to the countryside and have a single bullet put in the back of your head......so that you can't breed anymore or influence children.
