Open up "what's wrong with you?"
...make room for me.
I am bipolar.
I suffer with insomnia.
I have gout.
Sometimes on sunny days I feel sad.
Sometimes I sit in my room smiling while staring at the rain.
I think had punk rock never existed then neither would I.
I'm a little grumpy until I have my first cup of tea in the morning, then I'm like one of those crazy toy monkeys.
I'm a nice guy just don't hurt my friends or family.

Re: Open up "what's wrong with you?"
Hmmm.
I suffer from severe ADHD, social anxiety, PTSD, and probably Generalized Anxiety Disorder.
I assume people secretly hate me.
I procrastinate too much.
I have a temper. A bad one.
I was physically abused as a child, and have a secret fear that I will unintentionally repeat that pattern on my unborn son.
I also like Iron Maiden.

Re: Open up "what's wrong with you?"
I suffer from mild depression -- it gets worse in the winter months.
Over the past few years, I've developed an anxiety issue which included panic attacks and I have no idea why (well, I do but that's too personal).
I had a shitty, neglect-filled childhood that I'm still trying to overcome.
I have a lot of social anxiety issues: eating in front of others is one.
Like you, punk rock saved me. I'm not joking.
I'm moody.
I have a bad temper...when I actually lose it (which is rare anymore).

Never, unless of course you play him this.

KISS and Starship.
Also have an issue with insomnia, and probably sometimes have a pint too many at the weekend.

Re: Open up "what's wrong with you?"
I come from a family of alcoholics, on both sides and, while I don't do more than fancy a drink at the moment, I can feel in my gut the emptiness where something unpleasant & needy could grow in the next decade. I get blackout drunk more than I should and it's scary.
I'm self-destructive and make decisions that I know will hurt me later on.
I'm susceptible to getting blue and having a shitty mood that I can't shake for a long time.
I get paranoid, with very little reason.
Without my girlfriend of three years and my family, I don't think I'd be around myself.
Hayfever, haha.

Re: Open up "what's wrong with you?"
I have struggled with eating disorders for over 20 years. At one point, I was taking over 20 laxatives a day. I'm finally getting control over it. But it's probably never going to go away.
I feel like a terrible parent sometimes. I also hate my father-in-law and it kills me that since my dad is probably not going to live to see VH Jr. grow up, my fil is going to be the grandfather he remembers.
I went to three different high schools in three different states and am still pretty insecure in social situations. So, like many of you, punk saved me.
I am way too judgmental and critical of other people in my peer group. Especially those stay at home mom bitches at my son's preschool who do Pilates and get mani/pedis all day. And their stupid husbands, too.
I'm still a pretty angry person.
I bombed Final Jeopardy.

Weird that I used to be a real heavy drinker but the pain I would end up with through gout was an absolute bastard. Only when I cut down on the booze did I develop insomnia followed after a period of 6 months by anxiety.Heston wrote:KISS and Starship.

Lots of very similar problems occurring here. We are all damaged people to some degree. Although I will never turn to Starship.

Re: Open up "what's wrong with you?"
I had some anxiety issues/panic attacks about 15 years ago. The panic attacks were really bad, wouldn't wish that shit on my worst enemy. I think too much booze/dope and not enough sleep was the cause. Had to calm the drinking/smoking down and get some nice lie ins. It seemed to work as I've been okay since then.Marky Dread wrote:Weird that I used to be a real heavy drinker but the pain I would end up with through gout was an absolute bastard.

Re: Open up "what's wrong with you?"
Epilepsy, which is wrecking my memory
Prone to depression; dealt with a massive crippling episode in my mid-twenties that probably extended my life in the long run by making me change my expectations
Seem to be developing persistent digestive problems, enough so that I no longer drink coffee
Can't handle hangovers, so I no longer drink to get drunk
Truly believe that I won't live to 65
Given the choice, I'd usually rather stay at home as I have a low tolerance for small talk and the interests of others most often bores me; then again, I can't understand why anyone would want to spend time with me
Probably would have killed myself as a teenager if I hadn't found punk
Used to be angry, but I've learned to disengage and be less judgemental; however, it's probably made me more apathetic
I can't stand being the centre of attention even to the point of disliking being complimented*
Otherwise, I'm doing great!

Like becoming a junkie in your 80s, once the end is near, I'll listen to Starship. At worst, it'll make death seem more appealing.Marky Dread wrote:Lots of very similar problems occurring here. We are all damaged people to some degree. Although I will never turn to Starship.

Re: Open up "what's wrong with you?"
Suffered with that as a kid, after my father died I was really nervous and if I was made the centre of attention it would freak me out. In almost all the photographs of me as a kid I am sulking because I hated having my picture taken and being forced to smile for someone else's enjoyment just made it worse.Dr. Medulla wrote:Epilepsy, which is wrecking my memory

I grew up with a huge chip on my shoulder because of my dad's death, that chip is still there and becomes more apparent when I feel something is unjust. I can control my anger better these days but it's always bubbling under.
