Hurt people with real struggles and disorders? Everyone self-diagnosing via TikTok Md.
Sorry, I’m gatekeeping disorders here. And the gate is “go get a real fucking diagnosis”.
People self-identifying themselves with disorders as though it’s a fun way to make them special and unique can fuck off. Like, the people that have these disorders (most of them) don’t want them. They are things they struggle with all day, everyday. And then these kids make it their costume.
Like, I’m sorry you don’t have a real personality, but being a poser for mental disorder isn’t it. It only hurts the people with those actual struggles. It spreads massive amounts of misinformation about those disorders. Makes it harder for actually diagnosed people to be take seriously. And diminishes the severity of their actual diagnoses.
tbf, medical access (atleast in the US) is…simplynnot accessible for the overwhelming majority of the population. even for those few that can afford it, many don’t even have the time because of how grueling our work/life balance is. balance that with any social obligations you might have…and it’s no wonder the US is as sick as it is.
Who hurt you?
Hurt me? No one in particular.
