My name is Madison Jones. I am 16 years old. I suffer with OCD, PTSD and MDD. Breaking it all down; OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) is basically like living with a person in your head who keeps telling you what you can and can't do, such as walking next to someone, the voice screams in my head to walk the same as the other person and if I don't listen it begins to get louder and repeat itself until I give in. PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), this is an anxiety disorder caused by very stressful and fearful events from the past. Many people with PTSD suffer with panic attacks, nightmares, flashbacks as well as seizures caused by anxiety. MDD (Major depressive disorder), it's the feeling of sadness that occurs throughout a period of 2 weeks or longer, or in my case about 4 years. Most people who experience this disorder soon begin to develop thoughts of self harm as well as suicide. In the past I have also suffered from bulimia which is episodes of binge eating for hours on end and constantly throwing up after to feel better about the calorie intake.
So basically, I'm just all together fucked up. No better way of putting it. There's a reason behind all of this and that's what I'm going to explain to you. So you may think that a person with so many disorders wouldn't be able to live a normal life, you're completely right. I don't think I will ever be able to live a steady and normal life again.
