But you can see symptoms of a mental illness and think "gosh, I get a lot of those. I should probably get that checked out." that's why the nhs puts it on their website, so people know what to look out for, whether they're actually ill or not
I agree with @draconequus, it's still not a healthy thing to do. Just because you're illness isn't as severe as other people's doesn't mean you don't deserve help. It's like "oh, you only have stage 2 cancer? There's other people with stage 4, don't be so insensitive."
No,
i have a side effect of depression.
It's not like that, It's caused my two completetly different things, what i have wouldn't go under the catagory of E.D, it's simply a symptom of deppression.
Wow what a harmful way of thinking.
I used to be against self diagnosing too until I got depression and anxiety myself but I didn't realise it because I kept putting my own feelings down. My mindset was literally "shut the up stupid you literally have nothing to be sad about people have it so much worse than you, ungrateful ". I literally went on for a year and a half thinking like that and being so miserable before I actually started thinking that I should probably do something about it. So yeah, self diagnose kids✌️
p.s. I have a book on anxiety that encourages humanising your mental illness and so does my counsellor so that xoxo
And you think my way of thinking is harmful? Lol, you clearly know nothing about mental illness...don't get so mad at me, I'm not the one faking and promoting a mental illness diagnosis in order to get more attention on tumblr...your comment is so illogical, I'm guessing you are a13 year old girl? Please grow up, you know nothing
Did you actually just tell kids it is okay to self diagnose? You are just awful...I really hope you never get a job where you have to advise people...self diagnosing is not okay, what the hell...you literally cannot choose to suffe from something because you like how it sounds...most of the people self diagnosing are attention seeking little brats who would not know a real mental illness if from a common cold...seriously take your stupid opinions and get off my page...self diagnose away, kiddos! God, I really hope you never have a kid of your own, you would tell them it's okay to fake being mentally ill
I live on a fairly remote farming island on the west of Scotland and let me tell you, I'd kill to live in the city. Nobody gives a about the countryside, I have missed so many opportunities and experiences. And let me tell you, trying to get sheep out of your garden is NOT FUN. It's really boring too, there is nothing going on what so ever. When me and my friends ( and all the other kids) go into town we just walk around the same block, til we need to go home. The countryside makes a nice 5 day holiday, not an actual living space though.
I have to agree, I think although I get sick of the city a lot, I would also get sick of the country side. I'm quite a restless person and I like to travel so I think you're right, perhaps a five day holiday would be nice :)
Haha the sheep anecdote is funny though
I totally get you, I was going through some of my old quotes and there was some I was like "omfg I can't believe I actually said that jfc kill my old self"
It was funny though, I could go hours non stop talking to her but when we actually had to use our voices and stuff it was... awkward. It's funny, you can know someone so, so well and still be so casual around them but when it comes to real face to face stuff it's so different, but still the best. You get to see them as a person, not just words on a a screen or page.
Sorry I rambled a bit
