why are there disorder 'pride flags' 😭 can someone explain
i was training a young person at work, and she referred to sexual assault as "SA" out loud, and i immediately was like, "no, it's sexual assault, call it what it is," bc idgaf if the algorithm overlords have taught y'all that you should fear direct language, how tf do any of you expect to ever address real issues with any amount of seriousness if you can't even say the words? imagine an advocate looking a sexual assault survivor in the eyes and asking "did he grape you?" it's absolutely fucking absurd, but these young interns and new hires are coming into an environment where we deal with survivors of all different kinds of abuse, and they're coming with the mindset that the words are as bad as the actions, and that makes them shitty at the job and look juvenile af
i HATE self-censorship for a lot of reasons, but being in crisis work makes it even more frustrating. who are you censoring for? like i am being so fr, WHO are you censoring for? have you even thought it through? people who have been raped know that they have been raped. if someone attempts suicide or is grieving someone who did, saying "sewer slide" isn't going to protect them from any of the feelings. a murder victim's family isn't going to feel better bc you said "unalived" instead of murdered. if anything, it's just extremely invalidating and othering. it's saying "what happened to you is so bad that i won't even say the word," which is NOT trauma-informed care. you are not protecting survivors/victims when you self-censor. the ONLY things you protect when you self-censor are the puritanical ideologies that are being encouraged by rich fascists who want your money and obedience
say the fucking words, guys. just say the goddamn words before i go insane!!!
it's so weird having a friend who isn't autistic when everyone else i know is
example
friend: wait you know that album's release year?
me: yeah, i know all of the release years
friend: no way! youre like an encyclopedia
me: ???? isn't this common knowledge, this is like base level information
friend: no? i don't even know my favorite artist's album names, that's insane to know
????
living like this is god's punishment for something i can't figure out
okay just edgy as fuck i was really mad when i wrote that 😭
How can you tell if someone is larping ASPD???
very easy
i actually have ASPD
they are either unable to go in depth about anything, are overly defensive and remorseful when speaking about antisocial behavior, care too much about social/societal norms that they police others on it, or some shit like that. most of them just recite the diagnostic criteria when i ask them what traits they have, and while i know the diagnostic criteria exists because people exhibit those traits, it's an easy tell when it's just reciting google vs living it.
i know all of my followers know i am extremely against self diagnosis but i kind of wanted to explain in further detail why that is.
since the pandemic, we have been seeing a rise in self diagnosers, most prominently when it came to did, tourettes, or autism. i do think a part of that is influenced by the barnum effect or people's tendencies to be a part of a community which is fine, it is merely human psychology. but something else that has been happening is people will find a disorder that they believe they identify with, they will research said disorder to no end, and when it comes time to be face to face with a mental health professional, they will know exactly what to say in order to get their desired diagnosis. they know the vocabulary and they are very good at shaping their answers to fit expected outcomes. mental health professionals do evaluate a patient objectively but they also have to rely heavily on history that is self reported. so of course a misdiagnosis can easily happen.
a misdiagnosis is extremely dangerous when paired with pharmaceuticals. if a person who is misdiagnosed with adhd starts taking stimulants, they can go into extreme paranoia, especially if what they actually have is anxiety. the actual root cause is left untreated with the potential to get worse. they will never get the proper treatment required for the things that are actually going on.
i believe that people need to think more before causing damage to their bodies and to their quality of life. nobody needs to have the answers at this immediate moment. a mental illness diagnosis should never be rushed.
