If it& #39;s not too much to ask, would you mind telling me how you deal with your mental illness? As well as if you& #39;re professionally diagnosed or self-diagnosed? The game my crew is working on focuses around this field and I want to be as accurate as I can.
If you don& #39;t feel like speaking about it publicly, feel free to DM me! I just don& #39;t want to do a bunch of research on multiple illnesses and not really know anything from first-hand experience which is why I& #39;m asking around.
To be fair, I& #39;ll talk about my own mentality. I have not been professionally diagnosed, but I am in the process of it. I& #39;ve spoken with a therapist and psychiatrist. I have to go to someone more professional to be able to narrow down what& #39;s going on because of my thought process-
and actions are layered and overlapping which makes it hard to determine whether it& #39;s anxiety, depression, BPD, or ADHD. I have thought of the possibility of me having anxiety, but I never actually confirmed it on my own.
Only when friends have recently brought up how I might have ADHD because of my memory and inability to focus on something for more than 2 minutes.
This alone is causing me to step back from developing the characters in the game more because I don& #39;t know what I have and how it should be treated. I can& #39;t assume what should be done.
I only know the way I& #39;ve been managing it which is trying to keep my mind focused on working on this game because it& #39;s giving me a reason to share my issues with the world and hope that someone can relate and hopefully feel reassured and seek help if needed.
