So wait, you have several 'Illnesses' but able to play Videogames and play/tour in a Band?

Not to sound mean, but can you describe a few of them?

Sure.

Bipolar, Hypomania, anxiety, severe ADHD, Tourettes syndrome with heavy ticks and loud vocal sounds (not the cursing kind)..
The anxiety and ADHD creates a lot of severe muscle pain which makes it really hard to fall asleep, and when I do manage to fall asleep then I have ticks in my sleep that makes a fine mess of my back and I wake up after about two to three hours. Then I have to go and take some morphine (which I take every day and night) and maybe I'll get some sleep through the night. That's just the short story.
A lack of sleep can really mess up your head after a while and morphine ain't exactly a fun time XP

So I try to stay positive and collect games from my childhood and up to modern consoles, and I play and sing in a rock/metal band because I want to contribute something to the local music society, you know, help kids and teenagers with their music and "work" as a band camp counselor once a year..
And the band thing is also a group therapy thing.

But hey, there will always be people that are way waaay worse off then me in life, so I shouldn't complain too much.. I'm just glad I live where I do and that I get all the help I need :)
