Geminis and Mental Disorders

Do you or know of any Gems with mental disorders? From my experiences, it seems to me that something like this runs prevalently in signs like Gemini, Aries, Scorpio and Capricorns.

I used to battle depression, and sometimes I'll take some hard hits still, thanks to my moon in cancer. Blessing and a curse. Gems also seem to have some issues with authority/cultural programming.

I've also been diagnosed with attention deficit disorder & anxiety, but really... who doesn't have that nowadays in this hyper consumerist society? We're practically born into it!

My boyfriend has either a Scorpio/Sag moon. I can't tell. Guess you could say that his moon is on the cusp. Anyhow, he battles with depression, bi-polar disorder, OCD, anxiety and ADD. He was a Ritalin kid. He also used to have destructive tendencies. On various meds to sustain healthy demeanor.

My dad is a Sag Rising & Cap moon. The man is OCD like no other. He's on the Taurus cusp and of the baby boomer generation, so he really likes stability, security, family values. He also has major ADD & anxiety. I don't know how this happened, but I have accepted the fact that he is a bit of a space case. He is famous for striking arguments when you're near, but when you're far he will miss you a lot.

Aside from being a bit looney, they are two of the sweetest men I've ever met!!!

Share if you feel comfortable. 😛

haha domino. man, no worries. thanks for your input. i realized while writing this that i can't marginalize a mental disorder by sign and that there may be overlaps in terms of disorders. psychological disorders are a tricky subject with lots of gray matter and i couldn't better articulate my thoughts. 🙂 i am curious what other gems have to say. Yeah!!

well based on what i've seen: aquas, pisces, and virgos have mental disorders.

I'm an aqua with many pisces planets and I have bipolar II disorder/manic depression.Which I happily live with for the moment , my mood swings can be quite disturbing and my low episodes are kinda bad but hey,I rather live with it then take Lithium cause Lithium just helps me control the mood swings,but doesn't heal it.So,I just live life a little hard,but interesting. My psychologist was kinda worried for me but after one meeting with her I refused to go back,I go on with my life.I wrote one of my favorite quotes in one of my poems(quote by me) : "Only I can save me from myself,why bother searching for salvation in someone else?" and if you think of it,it's true 🙂 . I am curious what depression gemini's suffer from so keep on posting guys,and don't give up the fight,depression shall fall 🙂

psychopaths indeed. grrreaaat! 😛





Yip!

Much love goes out to Beatrix!

Y'know, I'm one for prescription medicine either. In the past, xanax did squat and meds for depression turned me into a sleepy drone. Dislike 😢 Ritalin is cool every now & then, but is intense and addictive. Now, I lean more towards a holistic sensibilities when it comes to medicine. I don't take anything and mostly healed myself naturally. However, this may not be the case for more serious cases.

In studies, meditation has been shown to dramatically decrease depression, anxiety & adhd in patients. Exercise and good nutrition are probably the best things for your brain. Yoga, cycling, hiking & swimming work for me. Can't forget music! Music is alpha.

I try to surround myself with positive folk. I began cutting people out of my life...downers, those that were incredibly selfish & manipulators that I felt I couldn't trust. I also better cultivated compassion/forgiveness...and the stress pretty much washed away. Now I'm the sunny Gem you read about in textbooks. 😛 So, I guess I did something right.!

I couldn't agree more with your quote. It's important to take responsibilities for your actions and thoughts. What you're feeding the universe, so to speak because you get what you give.

Peace comes from within.

Much love to Kleo! 😄

Well,yea,those can help but I try to not lean into those cause I've had much more problems in my life then a person can imagine ,but as much as I feel open like,i ain't going to write down my whole life 🙂

And be strong Kleo,depression is just a nasty asshole annoying us,always imagine that it's some stupid faggot trying to pinch us,and then imagine that you punch the fucker in the face,cause it ain't going to pull you down! (okey,i don't know if this works,but now i'm having a high mood so I find this funny,alike i find everything funny,lol)

So happy for you wineaux 🙂

Gem b/f is on like 3-4 types of meds. 2 are different doses of prozac. It's does wonders for him. And for the first time in a long while, he feels happy.

I for sure need coffee to be on. (LIKE NOW 😄)

Whatever works for ya & makes you feel good !

Thank you all for your contributions.

Hey! I remember this thread. Hehe.

WE ARE ALL A LITTLE CRAZY FOR SURE. BUT THERE IS GOOD CRAZY AND THERE IS BAT SHIT.

Ahahah!

Anyway, to answer Dom's Q in the name of science: When my Dad drinks he is a brighter personality in a good way. He is slightly allergic, however, so he gets headaches from it. Not a big drinker at all.

Y'know, I could use some meditation right about now. Times are nuts.

He's not open to meds, Dom. He's like the stand-up anti-med guy. Anything not organic to the body's natural rhythms is like the devil to him. Hah.

Old age has calmed his nerves nicely...
