Anxiety Not Otherwise Specified
I’m really sorry if this is an insensitive question but…?
Would you rather have cancer OR an OFFICIAL diagnosis of:
- Tourette’s Syndrome
- ADD
- Narcolepsy
- Bipolar disorder N.O.S. (Not Otherwise Specified, meaning it’s not a “classic” case)
- OCD
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Acne (once severe, now mild but persistent over >5 years)
We all know that cancer in and of itself is one of the worst things that could ever happen, but you also have to remember that most of those disorders NEVER go away, and some are very stigmatized. Either one is capable of devastating and destroying lives, and not just those of the people who have them.
Really give this some thought before you answer it. I really would like to know what people think. I think it’s a tough question, but I could be wrong about that, and if you think I am I’d like to know why. Again, I can’t tell if this is insensitive; if it is, I’m very sorry. I mean no offense, I’m just curious.
No, I mean all 8 of those AT ONCE. You don’t get to pick one.
I was diagnosed with cancer late in ’08 at 21, and I was officially diagnosed with anxiety as a child (I have since overcome it).
I would rather have ADD.
