I’m really sorry if this is an insensitive question but…?
Would you rather have cancer OR an OFFICIAL diagnosis of:
- Tourette’s Syndrome
- ADD
- Narcolepsy
- Bipolar disorder N.O.S. (Not Otherwise Specified, meaning it’s not a “classic” case)
- OCD
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Acne (once severe, now mild but persistent over >5 years)
We all know that cancer in and of itself is one of the worst things that could ever happen, but you also have to remember that most of those disorders NEVER go away, and some are very stigmatized. Either one is capable of devastating and destroying lives, and not just those of the people who have them.
Really give this some thought before you answer it. I really would like to know what people think. I think it’s a tough question, but I could be wrong about that, and if you think I am I’d like to know why. Again, I can’t tell if this is insensitive; if it is, I’m very sorry. I mean no offense, I’m just curious.
No, I mean all 8 of those AT ONCE. You don’t get to pick one.

ACNE FOR SURE!!!
ADD for sure,
and yeah people who have ADD tend to be annoying but,
I mean there are pills for that, so…….yeah.
And its not an insensitive question,your just curious.
Acne. It is just a skin disorder. Cancer is a death sentence.
I’d have Tourette’s, since the symptoms can be mostly suppressed by medication.
I would rather have cancer because I’d get to spend a lot of my life (probably at least into my 30s) cancer-free. With the other diseases it’s a lifelong battle and I wouldn’t want to go through that all my life. Cancer can kill but it can also be cured depending on the type. Could you specify what type of cancer or what types of treatments are needed for the type of cancer? Some types are more devastating than others.
I already suffer severe anxiety. That in itself is worse than anything I’ve ever been diagnosed with. But I’m working very hard through it, and I think I’m doing well for myself.
I was diagnosed with cancer late in ’08 at 21, and I was officially diagnosed with anxiety as a child (I have since overcome it).
I would rather have ADD.
I choose anxiety for sure. An official diagnoses of Anxiety is a ticket to some sort of strong benzo and although I am not a drug addict a sweet prescription of Xanax for life would be very nice indeed. I would definitely not choose depression because I have been down that road and clinical depression is horrible and it takes years to find the right combination of meds to treat said condition. Yeah, I would take anxiety all day!
considering I already have 3 of the 8, I’ll go with the other 5 Also, so that would be the 8 for 20,000 , Final answer.
ps what is OCD
and what type of cancer
Oops I already Locked in my answer
