Is it possible for a person to have multiple mental illnesses that seem unrelated? Can these illnesses coexist without causing any imbalance?

Life can be a wild ride, throwing curveballs at every turn. Lately, mine feels like a particularly chaotic game of mental health Jenga. Here's the thing: I've been diagnosed with a couple of mental health conditions, but the symptoms seem all over the place. On one hand, I deal with crippling social anxiety, the kind that makes ordering a coffee feel like a high-stakes negotiation. Yet, sometimes, I experience these intense bursts of obsessive thoughts that keep me glued to a task for hours, oblivious to the outside world.

It feels like a confusing mess. Can you really have multiple mental illnesses that seem totally unrelated? And is it even possible for them to coexist peacefully, or is my brain destined for constant mental health Jenga collapse? Hoping to find some answers (and maybe a metaphorical mental health Jenga stabilizer!), I'm diving into the world of co-occurring mental health conditions.
