      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.

                If they see it themselves and they don’t want to be laughed at then maybe they should stop treating it like a quirky personality trait?

                Mental illness has never been anything except misery. They’re effectively belittling people with genuine mental illness.
