I forget the technical name for it but I have a slow heart, it beats roughly half as often as an average persons heart and slows down overnight

That sounds like Arrhythmia. Am I right?

---

And on a personal note, the first disorder I was diagnosed with was... a cop out. "Chemical imbalance" and I was given anti depressants. That led to cutting and other suicide attempts. Eventually I shook sense into myself and quit cold turkey. This was several years ago.

Then the headaches began and I got "worse". Going to see a doctor soon to find out what's REALLY wrong with me.

isn't arythmia generally a random pulse or out of synch? I'm in synch just really slowly

Cardiac dysrhythmia (also known as arrhythmia) is a term for any of a large and heterogeneous group of conditions in which there is abnormal electrical activity in the heart. The heart beat may be too fast or too slow, and may be regular or irregular.

hyperactivity. Luckily back then they didn't drug you. My mom just cut back my sugar intake.

What's the first disorder you were diagnosed with?

ooooh ooooh I get to post in nyanngh.

Today I was told I have Schizotypal disorder. Another label which only is useful for grouping me in with others who experience similar symptoms. Or if I choose so I can allow it to reassure myself that "It's not all your fault." But fuck that.

My highest score on the test was "Drug Dependant" , although that's not a disorder is it? To my surprise my next highest was "Antisocial", but thankfully it doesn't mean I'm a sociopath. I apparently shouldn't smoke weed anymore either, but it's the only thing that calms my intrusive thoughts.

"The stimuli are deeper, more intense and detailed perceived and stored. Often this property with mere nervousness and sensitivity is confounded, however, the similarity purely external. The hypersensitivity in the secular sense, is mostly a personal overreaction to stimuli that do not respond with increased bandwidth of perception must be that which is with an HSP (highly sensitive person) is almost always the case. [7] The mere sensitivity and irritability that is not criterion for HS.

pronounced subtle perception (imagination and complex thought processes)
increased sensitivity to pain
detailed perceptual
high enthusiasm, a lot of varied interests
very strong long-term memory
psychosocial fine perception (mental states, moods and emotions of other people are easily identified and more detailed)
strongly influenced by other people's moods
strong intuitive thinking
long emotional "echo" of the experience
Thinking in a wider context
pronounced altruism, sense of justice
Need for harmony, diligence
Intense experience of art and music
perfectionism
most complex multi-layered and stable personality (such as instability in borderline, bipolar disorder, psychosis, etc. are not a feature of the HS, but those can be as a result of mental illness certainly present)

Due to the increased stimulus reception and lower processing resulting in the broadly characteristics that include introversion, unreflecting closing on other, intense experience of interpersonal relationships, strong reactions to drugs, alcohol and caffeine as well as vulnerability to stress, work pressure and time constraints. The frequently postulated association between introversion and HS is not clear, equating the two properties is therefore to be regarded more as simplistic thinking drawers, as well as the attribution of shyness and anxiety. There is empirical evidence that the concepts of social introversion, negative emotionality, shyness and timidity on the concept of high sensitivity are separated. [8] The correlation of these concepts can be interpreted in such a way that the HS in biographical predisposed people (psychic trauma, family conflicts, difficult socialization) promotes the development of introversion, shyness and negative emotionality.

The high information density, which has to cope with the brain, may lead to overloading of the spiritual and mental capacity lead, which is commonly referred to as sensory overload. This phenomenon is also observed in association with autism and Asperger's syndrome, which can often lead to confusion and flat maps. But the fact is that the symptoms of autism is fundamentally different from the HS is different, all autistic people have marked impairments in social behavior, particularly non-verbal communication and contact with other people are difficult - ie primarily those things that belong just to the strengths of the HSP. Unlike with autism and Asperger's syndrome, there is no evidence of developmental disorders in the brain of an HSP, according to Aron, the behavior and the development of HSP, where the use of its sensitivity was taught very early, compared not to average people significantly distinguishable."

^I was never diagnosed with Hyperlexia, but I have always been a better reader then most kids my age when I was a child. I could read full sentences without any problems. I remember I use to be annoyed at kids who had a hard time reading a sentence when the teacher called on him/her because I could read the sentences perfectly and quickly, so it annoyed me that others couldn't too.
