It really pisses me of when people do this. I have dissassociative identity disorder. Its not fun. Its not cute. Its scary. And I don't want to have it. Seriously people, grow the fuck up.
Wait. I'm an old fart so educate me here please. There is a fucking TREND where the young people of today are pretending to suffer from mental illnesses because.... what? How is any of this attractive? I suffer from Borderline Personality Disorder with bi-polar tendencies (rapid cycler), severe PTSD, as well as Anxiety and Panic disorder. My triggers for the PTSD are growing as I get older, I've had several dissociative episodes in the past few months that scared the living crap out of me. My spouse had to quit his job on the road and is now struggling to find work locally because I was truly losing it with him being out of state. Even though we live way out in the country and have 11 German Shepherds (I breed). Why would anyone pretend to have any of these debilitating disorders?
They try to bring attention to themselves by pretending they have a disorder. It's sick and they really don't realize it. I'm sorry blue dogs, I'm sure this bothers you much more than it bothers an infant like me. You've gone through a lot I see.

Also insomnia, don't say you have it if you just "have trouble sleeping", that's not insomnia.
And the funny thing is, insomnia can be chronic or acute. I had a bout of insomnia in high school where I was up for three straight days. It was the second worst thing to ever happen to me, medical wise.
These things are rally romanticised, people think these things are pretty or having them will make people like them, this is false.
people with these illnesses need support and doctors.
you don't want to be skinny, you want to be healthy.
(Don't answer this if it's too personal/you don't want to) I was just wondering, how does/did your anxiety manifest itself? I'm 99.9% I have medically-diagnosable anxiety so I was wondering if it'd be the same as my reaction.
Oh, it's okay I don't mind answering. I went through extreme amounts of emotional abuse in school when I was young, and everytime I'd do the slightest thing wrong my father would yell at me and punish me, then my step mother came along and added to the emotional abuse by constant teasing and insulting, which my father found hilarious. Between the fear of bullying at school, making a mistake and being punished by my father, and insults from my step mother, I guess it just formed at some point during all that.
Thank you for replying :) I'm sorry that happened to you, it's sounds pretty shitty :( it's strange, because my anxiety grew out of circumstances no where near as horrible as that (it's a long story, pretty much starting from primary school when I just started getting nervous a lot in stressful situations (situations that were different and not a usual part of my life's routine, if you will) and it pretty much spiralled from there). It REALLY annoys me because I don't see why I should be as anxious as I am, when there are other people who've been through far worse, but I just am :/ It's genuinely terrifying at times, isn't it?
Yay! I was scared to comment about actually having one of these problems because I thought there old just tell me to shut up. But now I can talk too. Ever since the first grade I've been pretty badly bullied. To make things worse I have a stomach disease that makes it hard for me to eat. Whenever I do my stomach cramps up and I get nauseous. I don't throw up though. I've been diagnosed with anxiety and at the age of 14, already from a family of smallish people, I weigh 79.8 lbs. I don't look horrible either (I don't think) I don't even try but people say I do this to myself but I'm not trying. I honestly never know what to say.
I'm a 46 year old mother of 2 boys and I am and always will suffer from the disorders that the abuse I suffered as a child and then as a young adult (big surprise I ended up in a horribly abusive relationship). My mother was my tormentor as a child and when that bitch calls she can still reduce me to tears or send me into an absolute rage. I moved all the way across the freaking country from California where I lived 40 years of my life to Alabama just to escape my ex and my MOTHER. It never gets better. I've been wishing she would get hit by a bus since I was a small child. Bitch is in better health than I am by far. I suffer from Fibromyalgia and chronic pain, chronic insomnia, have a history of heart attack and 3 stents in my heart. This bitch is 70, been a fake money grubbing control freak all her life and she can go non-stop from the time she jumps out of bed until bedtime and I can't get through a single day without a 3 hour nap even with Provigil. FML
THANK YOU! I know way to many people who say they're 'depressed' or have 'anxiety' just because it's fun to say you have issues. It's not, it doesn't make you special, it makes these mental disorders seem less important. And self harm scars are not beautiful. All they really are, something that brought me a moment of relief, and a lifetime of regret and explanations.
Ok no need^^ that was rude... Honestly if they wanna say that if it's true do you think that helped? Even if people are lying (not saying they are) I say treat them as you would. You never really know and you don't want to be that one person. If they are lying they will eventually stop
Everybody here is the best! I have recently been diagnosed with depression and anxiety and on new tablets and stuff and it's scary, so yea you guys are just the best!
But also under-diagnosed in some of the worst scenarios. Take Lanza for example. If he'd been medicated or hospitalized when he first started having murder fantasies, nearly 30 young people wouldn't have died.
It makes me feel better knowing I'm not the only one who suffers from these kinda of things. I have terrible social anxiety from being bullied in high school and when I talked to a counselor about it he just told me "high school doesn't matter now" but he doesn't realize it still does to me :/ after high school I was in an abusive relationship for 3 years and then got cheated on. I have no friends anymore and I'm too scared to make more cause of my anxiety, and it makes me extremely depressed :( I hate feeling alone and secluded from everyone. My 21st birthday is next month and I feel like I won't have anyone to go out with or celebrate it with
Thank freaking goodness! I have a mood disorder, and if I ever see someone faking these things, or using them as labels, I have to keep myself from smacking them. It isn't cool, and isn't something you should seek. It can be a curse. But question about the insomnia, if you suddenly cannot fall asleep until 2-3am (only sleep 3-4 hrs) [now becoming nightly], would that be considered insomnia?
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?! I have gone through depression self harm and all sorts of shit its not for fun or attention asshole the cuts are to distract from filthy dogs like you so go take your opinions and use them to wipe up the tears that you would have if youhad a soul bitch
people with these illnesses need support and doctors.
you don't want to be skinny, you want to be healthy.
It's a horrible affliction and doesn't need up be glamourised.
YES
