I never said stigma was a contest. I never said mental illness was a contest. I said it's not true that BPD is the disorder that causes the most emotional pain. There is no way you can objectively measure emotional pain and there is no disorder that causes the "most" emotional pain. Pain is relative. If you don't understand what I'm referencing, look at the post in your BPD tag where it's stated that BPD is "long believed to cause the most emotional pain" in the screenshot. It does not say "people with BPD *feel* as though they're experiencing the worst pain" it says "BPD *causes* the worst pain". So RBing and tagging it like that makes it seem like you're saying BPD is the worst mental disorder, that you're making it into a contest.
{I brought up stigma so you'd get an idea of what disorder I might be talking about and not think it's anxiety or something, because you basically implied that there is contest with most painful/disabling mental illness. Not that anxiety isn't awful. It's just that I thought since you implied BPD is the ultimate disorder you would also think something more common like anxiety wouldn't mean anything. Like you think there's a "rank". 2/2}
no, i know exactly what post you’re talking about. i’m not making anything into a contest. it was just a reblog about a disorder i’ve been professionally diagnosed with. i related to it, so i reblogged it. that’s it.
i said in my last response that there is no rank. i’m not implying anything nor did i say there was a rank for mental health disorders. i already agreed with you in saying that the wording was less than ideal.
mental illness fucking sucks. we don’t need to make this into something it doesn’t need to be. i don’t have the mental energy to continue reiterating something i’ve said already. if you’d like to discuss this further, my direct messages are open. this is also open for anyone who wants to discuss this.
