parents taking me off my medication because it was making me twitchy even though it helped with everything else and the twitches weren't dangerous (they didn't want me to "look like a crazy homeless drug addict" which is uh. hm. there's a lot there)

This is saneism, anti-homelessness, anti-addict and ableism.

I have fairly severe OCD that causes me to throw my head like a horse, scratch/pick at my skin, rapidly blink and feel unsafe/downright in danger in asymmetrical environments but because of the media portrayal of OCD glossing over that and the media portrayal of drug addicts doing that, people will constantly ask me if I'm on drugs or even cover their children's eyes when they see me.

when I casually brought up a friend has DID with my first therapist and she literally cut me off to say “does he do drugs?” and when I asked how tf that was relevant “Teens with disassociative (💀) identity disorder usually do drugs and commit crimes”

this was during the same session I came out to her as having dissociative issues as well as distinct parts and amnesia. Though when I brought up the idea of having a dissociative disorder (not even a complex dissociative disorder, I was in denial and just mentioned DPDR) she told me I was “too normal for that” and it needed to be “much more severe,” despite agreeing I had those symptoms and they caused significant impairment :|

could talk about that horrible therapist forever
