I a suffering from:
Chronic depression, social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, panic attacks, an eating disorder, obsessive complusive disorder, and anger/low self worth problems. I don't see how I am still living. Could any illness occur from all these, I have heard you can deveop tumors and other various things from so many mental illnesses? (link)

From someone who knows a lot about mental health issues you cannot be suffering from all of those illnesses at once. Sure, one or two in conjunction but not all of those hun. I think you probably took your problems, magnified them and went yupp I have all of those mental illnesses put together. Fact is probably not.
Depression is an all the time thing. There is mild depression which mean intermitently and not a constant. If you have depression and it's a constant issue make sure you always communicate with your doctor exactly how you have been feeling and get medication adjusted as it's the only way to feel well.
If they do not fine tune your medication like they would oil in a car each visit you are indeed going to feel bloody awful. I know I have been there with BiPolar.
Panic attacks may be called a mental illness but really are not in the strictest sense. It boils down to your biggest fears be it irrational or rational scaring you ie crowds etc and you feel dizzy and all of that--been there too.
You can make yourself feel better by putting your head between your knees and breathing in and then getting out of the enviornment bringing them on. There is medication for it but for the love of GOD do not go on PAXIL. That drug nearly killed me and wrecked my life for 6 months.
Obsessive compulsive I know not much of anything about. Again, what you call obsessive compulsive to me or anyone in that filed (mental health) might tell you there's no way that's obsessive compulsive til you see who is on the ward and the length they have to.
A lot of people THINK they know the definitions of mental illness and what they do but that's not so obsessive compulsive, depressed, anxiety disorders etc are way BIGGER than anyone in here will write to you about.
The only thing that can cause an illness or premature death here is the eating disorder. See someone in mental health about that and your fears you may have all of the above illnesses too. They will get you help for the eating disorders and whatever else is mentally troubling to you.
Can mental illness spawn other illnesses absolutely one hundered per cent NO. Do not worry. Can it cause tumours? HELL NO. Half of the people you know would have tumours and be dying if that is so. FACT 1 in 10 people you know will have a mental illness--very common--people just do not talk about it. If you want send me a feedback note and I'll show you 1,000 celebrities in the same boat as you are living, enjoying life, acting and surviving.
If you have a mental problem I'll try to steer you through with more guidance and e-mails if you so desire. I have been there scared, angry, upset, pissed off, confused as you are and seen the worst you can go to in a hospital setting. But man will those people and doctor's repair you and build you up stronger than anyone else.

With the exception of Krissy's answer the information you are getting is not correct. You beed
an adult with the problem to explain it to people.
There are two stages of this illness. The first stage called hypo-manic means you have a lot of energy and drift between normal or manic unreality and not have any idea. This is not dangerous unless
it escalates.
The second stage is called mania and what this does is makeyou delusional not knowing reality from fact at all and needing to stay in a hospital for at least a month and be placed on lithium. anti-psychotics and mood stabalizers because some not all people have horrible mood swings.
Do a google search for damous people with manic depression or bipolar and you will know that it is
the precursor for brilliance as well you will discover 1 in 10 people will have a mental illness by 2010 so it's not all the stuff people who are ignorant tell you. For more info see bphope.com
