There's been a lot of talk about mental illness at a different thread but it's kind of not the topic of that thread so I moved the comment here. If you'd like to talk about Bi-polar, schizophrenia, rage, Clinical Depression, social phobia, panic attacks, OCD, Autism, or Religion, don't be shy 
Also, if you've ever had to be commited (locked up) to the loony bin please share.
Yes mentally ill can be temporary and go into remission. I've known people that have a psychotic break and have to be hospitalized then go back to not being Psychotic for a long time. Sometimes it flares up again.
I think ADHD is an illness because people get disability for it. Not completely sure however. I was definitely dual diagnosed.
What stops me from killing myself is that my suffering can be used to help others. I've seen that when I get hospitalized or go to facilities. I'm able to connect very well with people, especially those who are extremely depressed, social phobic, or anxious.
I was diagnosed ADD because I'm a space cadet. People say "you're not here you look in outer space". People say I stare off into space very intensely and don't here very well when doing so. Make chronic careless mistakes, Difficulty focusing during lectures. In fact I'm only really able to keep my attention on porn it seems but I am not much of a porn user anymore. Go months sometimes due to interior convictions that I'm a creep.
Mind is ussually else where when there should be nothing distracting it. Constantly misplacing things; Constantly reliving past experiences (some of this could be PTSD) or worrying about the future, or floods of horrifyiing thoughts and temptations; (I've got a hot cup of hot tea in hand or cleaning the deep fat fry station and have a big pail of 350+degree grease and the intense disturbing impulse to pour it on people arises, every fucking time).
Squirm alot, bounce when standing still, chew fingers, make weird noises, strange facial ticks, outbursts of random phrases or profanity without intending to, If I go to Church I ussually don't stay with the congregation but go to the basement and pace back and forth cuz it's hard to sit still.
Get urges to walk with weird postures or walk on toes. It feels better and a relief to walk in these weird postures. People have said, what the hell...I said what...turns out I was walking forward with my torso bent extremely to the left. Didn't know it. This doesn't happen all the time.
I can dance extremely funky though. Like Napolean Dynamite people say!
Impulsively saying or doing what is inappropriate but not realizing it beforehand, irritability, excessive talking, or the opposite, excessive living behind a wall were the mind runs wild and is not interested in anyone around and gets very annoyed when people start talking, blurts out answers before the question is completed, feels great discomfort when not being able to blurt things out, difficulty waiting in line, weird sense of humor.
Major changes in personality. Whatever the Hell it is. Docs don't agree on what it is.
