It sounds to me like a diagnosis.\n\nHe said you have a mild form of M.S., and your symptoms should disappear.\n\nWhat were you hoping he'd say?

Alcoholism is an addiction. Most Alcoholics won't admit that they are alcoholics. They spend most of their time looking forward to their next drink.  That's why it's a disease. It takes over their ability to reason and their freewill.  Their body has to have that alcohol and their just not satisfied until they get it!!

being bulimic is said to be a mental disease. you should really talk to someone about it, because tryin to fix it by yourself wont help. you need an outside help. its good that you want stop from a early stage. just get help and fight it, and be determined. it seems like youll be ok, but plese get help.

It is not normal.  Make an appointment with a psychologist and a psychiatrist to discuss these issues.  However, you possess something that a lot of people with mental illness do not have- insight.  Just realizing that something is problematic and needs to be addressed are good indicators of successful treatment.

I am so sorry that you had to go through that. Please don't blame yourself. A lot of the older generation use the word "afflicted" to indicate mental illness, so I'm guessing that would be the problem. Good luck to you Sweetie!

They say it's a fine line between the two. I think sanity is defined by society, or other people in our circle, as acting according to a norm. Insanity is deviating extremely from the norm. We may all be judged by our peers as sane or acting insane, but ultimately it is a medical (psychiatric) judgment of insanity that qualifies someone as insane. And for some, insanity can come and go quite quickly, making even that individual wonder at his own sanity.

I feel that the United States doctors are going crazy w/ this diagnosis. I feel this is something you can help on you own.  I think that this is a super crazy world w/ tons of things going on in our lives at once and because of this, some of us have a hard time focusing.  You need to practice focusing possibly w/ the everyday use of meditation you could over come this so call disorder.

You can't "get rid" of a mental disorder.  You can maintain it with appropriate medications but it will never just go away, sorry to say.
