I've never been diagnosed with anything but I think Tourettes, OCD, AvPD, maybe GAD.

None on the poll but: Social Phobia, Avoidant Personality Disorder and Anorexia.
I'm not convinced of the latter, but since my GP and Psychiatrist have given me that diagnosis, any denial on my part would be put down to the eating disorder talking, so I'm not quite sure what to think about that anymore.
I also have some dependent and paranoid traits, and an intense dislike of physical contact/being touched, but I think these are probably caused by the 3 mentioned above, rather than any disorders of their own.

The only one that was diagnosed with was social phobia. But I strongly assume that I might have a minor form of OCD as well, because I have some character traits that could only be described as compulsive.
Like; wanting to throw expensive things I just bought (or things that are plainly valuable to me) of a high balcony. Or strangling of my cat. I would NEVER EVER do that, but sometimes it pops up in my head. Scary.
I also like/have to have things straight and organized when I'm not using them. I can suppress it, but I am most comfortable knowing everything is straight (and level) at the end of the day. It's not uncommon that I take more then 5 minutes making sure my remote is straight and about 2-3 millimeter from my stapler, and edge of the desk.
I don't know if that's OCD, you tell me.
Though, as strange as it may sound those tendencies don't really bother me that much. I just kinda learned to live with them, instead of seeing them as problems. I could live perfectly happy with them, as with social phobia for that matter.

Haven't been to a psychologist. lots of reasons why. so... guessing here. Well generalized anxiety. Depression but mania saves the day. Panic sometimes but Idk panic disorder? Would say agoraphobia as well. Sexual (psychological). Adhd. I don't like to leave the house but not schitzophrenia because just force myself unless it's unbearable.
