19 years of my life

18 years since someone first noticed I was a bit different

8 years since I tried to tell my mom I felt different

7 years since my doctor told me it was probably nothing

6 years since I started guilting myself into thinking I was a liar

3 years since I started to accept that I wasn’t

2 months since I finally met a psychiatrist to test me

3 days since I was diagnosed with ADHD

1 day of finally starting to accepting myself

You know your mind and body better than anyone else. Lying is intentional. Please don’t give up on getting the care you deserve because you aren’t being heard. Someone is ready to listen to you.

Idk how people will be anti self dx and then call sb a narcissist like so I can't diagnose myself based on my lived experiences and research because I don't have the qualifications to diagnose others but you who also doesn't have that qualification can diagnose people with a disorder you probably barely know about?

This post is not about being concerned and telling someone you know personally that they should look into something to see if that might be the case, that's a suggestion. This post is talking about people who are making videos on YouTubers who get exposed and calling them narcissists like... You don't even know them. Besides they usually won't even show signs of NPD, they'll just be manipulative and maybe have a pretty big ego and sense of self importance but none of the other signs, like an unstable sense of self, need to be praised, or a genuine lack of empathy* are present. And that's only to name a few symptoms, others also rarely appear when these YouTubers get called narcissists for being bad people. A narcissist is not the same as being a bad person, you can't call everyone you don't like a narcissist. Despite the people I'm specifically referring to, this post can also be about anyone calling somebody, even someone they know, a narcissist without having a single clue how the person thinks or what narcissism even is.

*A lack of empathy is not the same as not caring about others. Empathy is the ability to understand how others feel, and to feel with them. A lack of empathy is not a lack of compassion. It does not mean you don't care about others. It means you can't really understand how others feel. You can't read their feelings and you don't feel a certain way just because they feel a certain way. People who don't have empathy can still care about others and people who have empathy don't necessarily care about the feelings of other people. Being able to understand the feelings of others doesn't necessarily mean you give a shit about the way they feel, and you may even find delight in someone being upset if you wanted them to hurt.

something i find objectively really funny but only if i dont think about it too long is when im talking to someone and they say something like "you know its really cool how you can remember facts/lyrics/memes/dialogue off the top of your head like that in the perfect context!" and i respond "thanks its the autism"

then they get a look on their face thats a combination of disgust and pity like i just told them i have a terminal illness

#god forbid autistic traits be positive #and god forbid im not always miserable about it #its even funnier because im “self dx” which obliterates the argument that i would do so because its trendy #autism #autistic things #autistic experiences #obviously thats not verbatim how the conversation goes down but i needed to simply it for the point

hiiiii i used to be @nullsexducks but i got logged out and can’t log back in sOo I’m back and honestly probably worse lmaooo

people tend to do intro/pinned posts so here’s mine!

- hiii i’m 20 years old

- live in the USA, west coast

- i still don’t really know how to work this app

- AuDHD, DRDP, c-PTSD, ARFID, CFS

- metalhead, goth, punk, leftist (not liberal), artist, squishmallow collector

- gender questioning kinda

- bisexual and proud!!!

- happy battle-axe bisexual, truscum, transmed, pro dysphoric enben, aro/ace exclusionist

- HEAVILY ANTI-SELF DIAGNOSIS

- dysphoria ≠ you hate yourself or are miserable 24/7

- you need more than just social gender dysphoria to be trans

- stimming is not “cute”

- disorders/mental illnesses are not genders, and neither are personality traits or aesthetics

- there are only two genders, man and woman! if you’re non-binary, then you’re neither, not a third gender.

- trump sucks ass but so does biden (whyyyy old white men whyyyy)

- anti “endogenic” systems

- please don’t ask me about ship-course i have no idea what that means and cannot figure it out for the life of me

- have your sources ready!

DNI tucutes/mogai/inclusionists/endos UNLESS you’re coming to have a polite and rational conversation :)

doxxing, harassing, stalking, sui-baiting people is awful and not tolerated here

petty insults will get you nowhere

even if we disagree on things here, we’re all still people who deserve basic respect, rights, and kindness.

ngl I routinely forget that self-diagnosis discourse is A Thing and every single time it’s like getting slapped in the face by a wet fish of just how fucking insane people are about it. Can self-diagnosis be harmful? Absolutely it can, for numerous reasons. You might overlook something major and end up being treated for the wrong thing, as an example. But on the flip-side, self-diagnosis can also be incredibly helpful for managing symptoms and receiving support when professional help isn’t readily available, especially since professionals themselves are absolutely not immune to biases and bigotry in regards to mental health. It’s a complex topic and I despise seeing people go “ohh all self-dx bad” and “ohh all self-dx good” when the reality of it is that it’s just extremely contextual.

#self diagnosis #pro self dx #pro self diagnosis #tagging as this bc GENERALLY speaking I am #but you do gotta be careful bc there's a lot of misinformation out there and a lot of mental health issues massively overlap with each other #i definitely understand why some people are wary of it but anyone positioning themselves as outright anti uhhh #probably does not know that *I'm* self-diagnosed with a few things until further notice #so. lol. lmao #granted i dont really talk about my mental health on here all that often #i just say im neurodivergent #for good reason bc nobody on this fucking site knows how to be rational about mental health

hi hello just saw everything everywhere all at once and i am experiencing the temporary euphoria of remembering that in a fragmented and chaotic universe we must search for wonder make our own meaning and most importantly be kind

#anyway i'm also exhausted and i'm going to bed #i had to stop my therapist from saying my mom had 'narcissistic tendencies' when i was describing some shit she did in the past today #and be like 'um actually i have '''narcissistic tendencies''' so could we please Not'#obviously she was not initially buying it when she asked 'why did you think that' but I did outline the things that had resonated with me #why i self dxed and how it was a hugely important tool for making sense of the way my brain worked #and therefore figuring out how to effectively try and improve #and touched on the 'it sucks that people are forming clubs to call everyone they don't like a narcissist' and #'if you say someone with a PD doesn't do (x) good behavior you're basically saying a PD is a life sentence and not just information #about how your mind/personality tends to work' greatest hits #and she did seem to agree with a lot of what I said #and seemed to understand when I said I just straight up didn't want to talk about my parents being mentally ill #because what mattered to me was how they chose to act #and not what may or may not be a contributing factor #and ultimately she said she appreciated that I'd spoken up and we could look into dx stuff for npd if I wanted #(which I don't know if I do want! but I feel like it's a positive-ish thing for her to bring up)#so overall it was scary and exhausting but I was pretty happy with how I handled it #and it had me already thinking a lot of Big Stuff about self-improvement and sense of self #and learning to find hope and not just stew in misery or stagnate in 'this is the way things are'#and then the movie hit and it was just the perfect movie to watch today #genuinely a masterpiece god tier acting and effects never a dull moment #and listen i just need everyone to try and be kind to yourself and others ok we need it #believe that you can be okay and you are okay and spend a little time with something or someone you love

Pro self dx culture is fighting for people to stop gatekeeping the shit out of mental illnesses and disorders.

No matter how serious the disorder is, someone is able to find out. The idea that mental illness warps our perception so bad that we can't know we have it, is a huge ableist myth.

I've been able to self dx and been able to recognize my symptoms, despite the way they affect me. And healthcare is still horrible in most countries, can't we understand that?

One thing that super infuriates me is when someone makes a dumb joke post like “you know you have [disorder] when you [thing that is not exclusive to said disorder]” and then some people are like “wow that makes sense actually, maybe i should look into [disorder] more, i might have it”, AND THEN the very smart internet disorder police screenshots it and goes “omg can you believe this horrible person is claiming [thing] only ever happens to people with [disorder], and people are literally just self-diagnosis on a whim based on this callous misinformation”

The breakdown of this is:

- Dumb joke posts will not have exhaustive formulation, op has [disorder], having [disorder] influences them doing [thing] or the way they do it, because surprise, many disorders and disabilities are multi-faceted, and will affect the very way you perceive and interact with the world around you, even in the most mudane of situations. It doesn’t mean they claim it’s exclusive to [disorder] or that everyone with [disorder] does it, it means you can’t add twenty caveat footnotes to an internet shitpost.

- Self-diagnosis isn’t bad. There’s many reasons people can be unable to access diagnosis or might want to preemptively scout out what might be going on with themselves before seeking professional help, cuz we live in a sad reality where there’s bad medical professionals everywhere and you gotta be able to recognize them to get proper treatement.

- People aren’t stumbling airheads. Them looking at relatable [disorder] posts and saying they think they might have [disorder] first of all isn’t the same as straight up self-diagnosis (i think i might have =/= i know i have) and second of all doesn’t mean they’re going to stop there if they do think they have [disorder]. Someone learning about [disorder] and thinking they might have it because they relate to surface-level experiences is not a dumb idiot neurotypical who just wants to feel special, they have reasons to believe they might have a disorder, even if they do end up not having that disorder or being neurotypical in the long run. By all means, encourage researched and level-headed self-diagnosis, but you have to understand that people already DO that. And if they can’t do enough research and aren’t sure, they know and acknowledge that.

- Ok, what if they didn’t do enough research and still think they KNOW they have [disorder]? Buddy, who is this harming? What ressources are they taking away? If the techniques used to deal with [disorder] work for them, it’s a good thing! But what if they start claiming their neurotypical experience is actually part of the [disorder] experience? Buddy, even people with [disorder] can only speak for themselves. There is a wide array of symptoms and comorbid/related/etc things, each on their own spectrum of intensity, and interacting with one’s environment in different ways. No [disorder] person will ever be able to speak for all [disorder] people. You can’t judge how real someone’s disorder is based on their experiences on ONE point.

It’s a very infuriating mix of anti-self-dx and straight up mistrust in people’s ability to not go through life as stumbling toddlers that need to be guided through every thought process they have.

#i love self-dx i love when people gain the knowledge to understand themselves better and have a better life #stop sucking your doctor's dick.#self-dx is a net positive in the world and there's so many professionals that aren't equipped to handle diagnosing things #that have only been more humanly researched and understood recently #especially mild cases or people who mask and handle well some things or have unusual symptoms etc etc #broadcasting my misery #discourse #sorry i'm mad

It's time to feel good about ourselves! List your BEST, FAVORITE, MOST CREATIVE (however you interpret that), and MOST POPULAR works! It's fine if the categories overlap. Then pass this on to other creators to spread the love. No self-deprecation allowed!

(I'm sticking purely with fanfiction for this question. Suffice it to say, I also write poetry and original prose, I sing, I draw, etc. If I include everything, I'll never decide.)

Best: I thought about this one for over an hour and I genuinely can't come up with an answer. What constitutes "best"? How do I define that? If I must chose a story, Teddy in Bob's Heady (Bob's Burgers); Keep On the Sunny Side, Always on the Sunny Side (Sailor Moon); and Bitter and Sweet Like You and Me (Pacific Rim) are the three that I would consider among my best works for each of my top three fandom. Each showcases my strengths (affection, comfort, hopeful endings), and each still pleases me to this day.

Favorite: A Commit-y of Marriers (Of course, favorites can and do change. However, at the moment, this story is my absolute favorite. I'm so happy to be writing something so comedic and cute for my favorite BB ship. I'm also really enjoying practicing different story conventions such as third-person omniscient.)

Most Creative: He Isn't You and That Cuts Me Through (I wouldn't count this story as a favorite and it's certainly not my best or my most popular. However, I delved into multiple conventions that I actively avoid with this one. I'm proud that I tried and, when I've recovered, I might just have to try another "God why?" story, lol.)

Most Popular: Gloria in Excess is Hell No (by comments), Teddy in Bob's Heady (by hits and kudos)
