Dumb motivational posters. :[
And I think it's called astrophobia - Fear of stars or celestial space. =3 So I think you're actually right.
I think I actually have tourettes too. When I sit down, my leg shakes uncontrollably. But that may also be just fidgiting from my ADHD, since I do that more when I'm not concentrating on something.
@` s i l v e r l o c k e t
Ah. I feel that way alot, too. I think bipolar manics are much more extreme, though. Like your mind races, you can't sleep, etc.
I'm sorry about the death of your father. I hope you feel better soon. >_< You can always PM me, even if you don't know me very well.

And I remember when I was younger, I had anginophobia, which is a fear of choking. I would sit there and chew the same piece of food for a good fifteen minutes before swallowing, because I was that afraid of choking.

yeeaah. who needs motivation?
D:<
if your legs get all fidgety whenever you lay or sit, you could have restless leg syndrome.
or, as you said, your adhd could contribute to it.

I had autism as a very young child, but I grew out of that for the most part. I haven't been diagnosed with ADHD, but I think I either have a mild form of it, or I just have a bitterly nasty temper once in a while.
Other than that, I am an antisocial, academically deviant person.
Ya know, I actually feel quite normal right now.

I have been diagnosed with OCD, clincal depression, and panic disorder.
I'm being treated for them and doing a lot better.
A lot of my relatives have mental health problems. Sucks.

I was diagnosed with situational depression a few years ago, but I've pretty much gotten over it, save for a few recurrences. I also suspect that I might have Seasonal Affection Disorder, and possibly mild Schizophrenia.
One problem that I've been having lately is that I've been developing a social phobia. I have issues when I feel like people are looking at me, or when I'm talking to them, and I constantly overreact when I do something that I feel might make me look "stupid." I'm trying to work on not getting embarrassed so easily.

It is what I have, and those symptoms are exactly like mine, except I obsess over it constantly (kind of like a form of OCD). You could get some meds for it, and it suppose to help make you more relaxed.
Edit: Also, most hospitals have classes where you learn how to deal with things like that. =] If medicine isn't your thing. Or you could just get over it naturally, too.

Motivation is for losers. =[ xD
My dad has restless leg syndrome I think. Sometimes when he sleeps, his leg will go up, and then fall back down. Like one of those areobic exercise moves or whatever. He went to a sleep study and had it diagnosed, I think.
My leg bounces (sometimes I'm completely oblivious that I'm doing it, until someone tells me to stop shaking) when I'm occupied, as well. I think that might be it. Is restless leg syndrome genetic, do you know?

I feel like if I gradually start to face some of the things that make me so nervous, it might make it a little easier for me. Because honestly, I don't want to have to go back to a psychiatrist xD

I've been diagnosed with Depression and I'm pretty certain I've got Social Anxiety Disorder (my Mum,being a nurse, has basically confirmed it for me).
The depression was crappy, and I was on anti-depressants for a while, but they kinda turned me into a zombie, so I took myself off of them and just deal with it now. It's not too bad, especially since I moved back to the city.
The Social Anxiety Disorder is a lot more annoying. It makes going out with friends and ESPECIALLY getting a job, very difficult. I have a hard time approaching new people, and my conversational skills are...well... let's just say I have the conversational skills of a brick wall. sweatdrop Obviously online I have no problem, but then I'm not facing a person. *shrugs*
If I'm in a place with a large crowd I get very moody and panicky and just feel quite claustrophobic.
The whole thing makes me come off as a very standoffish person, so it does impact my social life, otherwise though it's not a problem.

Approaching new people has never been a strong point for me. The first day of highschool was... =_=
But usually if people come up to me and have a conversation, I'll respond as best as I can. And people at school now know that I have it, and they've been alot kinder.
But then again, I've only been to school once in the past two months, so.

In highschool most people came up to me to talk. And when I went to a new elementary school I had a friend who made me feel really comfortable, so I adjusted better than I thought I was going to.

It's really all about the friends you get. My friends make me feel so comfortable and safe. There's not a lot of 'em, but they're a good bunch.
