My neurotypical friend just called OCD "Obsessive Cleaning Disorder" and fought with me when I said that's not what it stood for until she googled it and went "It can mean either!" like... no... it doesn't...
wTF does your friend even know how google works? …OCD isn’t… a “cleaning disorder”… that isn’t… real…
i did yoga for a whole year and it was able to calm my anxiety for one hour until i threw up in the yoga room so 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
did you read the fine print??
So Buzzfeed just posted a bullshit article today (may 17) where they basically mock fidget spinners and there's nts in the comments joining in the mock fest and I've just about had it with neurotypicals and their damn ignorance tbh :) For a website that purports to be inclusive, Buzzfeed sure is being hella ableist, huh?
first, sorry this is late! we (the mods) are really backlogged with asks and we’re trying to get to them now! some get pushed down and we try to answer asks that bounce off of other asks around the same time. thanks for waiting!
as for this ask:
@buzzfeed wyd? stop being ableist and shitty
Rule of thumb: Never touch someone having a panic attack unless they've explicitly told/asked you to
yes - only if they tell or ask you to. always ask first!
Neurotypical bullshit is my doctor telling me that my symptoms were just my anxiety disorder and I need to just relax. No, turns out it's actually fucking MS. He must have his head pretty far up his ass to confuse the two
must be hard to practice medicine up there
(I hope that now, with an accurate diagnosis, you can begin getting treatment to help you manage it as best as you can. Best of luck!)
Growing up, my mother denied me any and all diagnosis or medication for my fairly severe ADHD. She did, however, help me learn to stimulate myself and helped me stay focused when I was younger... But now that I'm older I'm terrified of getting medication but I have also completely lost the ability to focus again. I've given up of college past an associates degree, and the only reason I'm doing that much is my fear of disappointing my family...
i’m sorry you’re going through a hard time. starting medication can be terrifying, and there are all sorts of possible known and maybe even unknown side effects with psych drugs. but if you find one that works for you with minimal to no side effects, it can be life-changing. if you can and would like to, you can get a diagnosis and get prescribed medication without your parents’ approval now that you’re older (presumably over 18?). hang in there!
My gf has really severe ADHD (I have all the symptoms of depression but since I'm not allowed to go to a psychiatrist I'm not going to say I have it since I could be wrong) and she's struggling really hard in school but I still love her so friendly reminder: even if a friend/family member/significant other isn't "perfect" you should still support them. I honestly see too many people dumping their gf/bf/etc bc they have a disorder.
i think it depends on the person and the relationship - if someone has a partner who has a mental illness and it negatively impacts that person’s ability in a significant way to care for their own mental health, then the right thing to do would be to end the relationship.
though, there are some who don’t even try, or who get intimidated by a (potential) partner, family member, or friend with mental illness, and that’s often from a lack of understanding and maybe also some selfishness. it’s hard to say.
the point here is i think it’s difficult to judge a relationship that you’re not part of, and while the ideal would be for everyone to support and love their significant other, family member, or friend with mental illness, it can be more difficult than it seems.
