      You mean the sub where 99% of the time they’re either bullying people with real disorders or actual children. Yeah such a cool place full of normal people.

              That’s great

              Well others do. On that sub. So. Cool crowd to hang out with.

              Also just. People with ACTUAL disorders get harassed by people on that sub. Basically what it does is it sends hatemobs at disabled people or people with mental health challenges, or literal children.

              Just so they can feel better about themselves collectively. It’s deranged. Some real gamergate shit

                I don’t think anyone who appears in that sub is medically diagnosed. In fact quite the opposite - most seem to brag about self-diagnosis and being dropped by medical professionals after arguments.

                  For one, self diagnosis can legitimately help people who do not have access to medical professionals for reasons beyond their control. Be it financial, distance from professionals, etc

                  There is a case to be made for self diagnosis.

                  Second, again until the ends of time I will have to repeat this because you’re stubborn and refuse to read or understand

                  This sub is bullying people with actual mental health issues and/or children. These are (mostly) adults going out of their way to bully people who are, more often than not, already vulnerable.

                  So anyone advocating FOR the sub and that does include you needs to take a hard look at themselves. One question. Seriously dude?

                    Maybe get universal health care? Then you won’t need self-diagnosis.

                    I don’t see any bullying. I didn’t hear about any until you came along. WTF do you want me to do? Stop using it? Don’t recommend it? If I acted on every fucked up thing in the world I wouldn’t have a spare second to breathe. I couldn’t buy anything cos it’d be all boycotted and I couldn’t travel cos every country has a cunt in it.

                    So WTF do you actually expect me to do?

                    So anyone advocating FOR the sub

                    Hang on - so if someone suggests emigrating to America. Does that mean they support school shootings? What if I recommend moving to Canada? Does it mean I auto-like and support ice hockey?

                    I’m already boycotting Nestle and Israel. I really haven’t the energy to give 2 fucks about some middle class kid in the US posting stupid videos fo them pretending to have a mental illness.

                    I laugh at them an move on.

          People with DID can have any number of alters. Jeni Hayes had ~2500. Don’t assume something doesn’t happen just because you’ve only heard about it happening from TikTok.

            Aaah yes, so that means all these SELF-diagnosed people who claim to have 2000 alters are all 100% real.

            All the quirky little acts they do for the camera aren’t an act!! They really DO become their favourite anime characters!!

            Some even post clips of their sob stories trying to get diagnosed and being let go by the doctor/therapist.

      No, I never saw that sub when I was over there, but I’d wager my comment would apply equally well to anything posted there. These kids today with their words for problems we ignored.

      ARFID is a very real phenomenon that is staggeringly common, and yet we have very little information on the causes or fixes for it. Treating it like the kid is just being “picky” leads to food avoidance, binge eating, obesity, and eating disorders. “Just stop being picky” didn’t work, and was a criminal neglect of duty of care among parents and doctors.

        Look - I’ve been diagnosed with BPD but the people on that sub claim to have DID and be a “system” with over 1000 personalities. Those personalities, funnily enough, are anime characters fro the latest animes they watched.

        You really think they’re real?

          I don’t know anything about that. I know there are people who pretend to have disorders, in fact it’s a disorder itself: Munchausen syndrome. But just because people fake an illness does not mean that the illness doesn’t exist, or that nobody has it.

            I’m sure DID does exist. However, I think people with a genuine diagnosis don’t waste time taking video of themselves slipping into an alter for the camera.

            Funny how I’ve never seen videos of schizophrenics losing their shit? Maybe cos mental illness isn’t a fucking fashion statement you pick yourself and make quirky videos about.
