her new and last comedy special, “For Your Approval,” which dropped on Netflix Tuesday.DeGeneres said she only received the diagnoses after she left her long-running daytime talk show following a spate of allegations surfaced in 2020, accusing the comedian of running a toxic workplace.The star learned she has “full on osteoporosis” — a disease that causes bones to become weak and more likely to fracture — after she took a “stupid bone density test.”“I don’t even know how I’m standing up right now,” DeGeneres joked. “I’m like a human sandcastle.

I could disintegrate in the shower.” In case the osteoporosis wasn’t bad enough, she said she was also diagnosed with arthritis. “I had excruciating pain one day and I thought I tore a ligament or something and I got an MRI and they said, ‘No, it’s just arthritis.’ I said, ‘How did I get that?’ And he said, ‘Oh it just happens at your age,’” the stand-up added.“It’s hard to be honest about aging and seem cool,” she confessed.As for her obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), DeGeneres revealed she was diagnosed with those conditions when she was in therapy following the claims she created a work environment on her talk show that bred “racism, fear and intimidation.” “I was in therapy for a while trying to deal with all the hatred that was coming at me,” she shared. “And you know, it was not a common situation for a therapist to deal with.”She continued, “I may have OCD because a therapist said so and I said, ‘Yes I am very organized,’ because I thought that was the O.

I didn’t know what OCD was.”“I was raised in a religion, Christian Science, that doesn’t acknowledge diseases or disorders,” she explained.
