Stamp by ChikitaWolfUpdate 2018: If you're using this stamp as a response to someone calling you out on using your disorder, disability, etc, as a blatant guilt trip or a way to avoid apologizing for your shitty-ass behavior, then you're using it wrong and you're part of the reason why people like us gotta deal with this crap from others.
I'm tired of seeing people getting all "righteous" towards those complaining or speaking about their problems.
We all have problems. Stop with the "I'm worse than you", "my disease is worse", "you have no idea", "stop using your disease as a crutch" bull crap.
Aren't we allowed to voice our pains? There's always someone worse out there-- I know that. But still. To sit there and bash someone for voicing their pain... it's obnoxious.
I've been called on using my ADD as a crutch. Well, guess what? I DON'T. The only reason I freely talk about it is so I can friggin' accept it. I don't have ADHD-- or at least, I've been diagnosed a little farther off from it-- but does that mean I'm not suffering? Does that mean I shouldn't attempt to accept it through speaking about it or maybe getting some irritations off my chest about it every once in a while?
We all suffer from disorders, diseases, disabilities, or something of the kind. Why must we compare and snap at each other?
I recently read a conversation about someone speaking of their disease -- a rather annoying disease at that -- and most definately sounding upset through their words. And then someone bursts on about how they "have no idea what real suffering is" and to stop using their "disease as a crutch".
WTF?
Seriously?
GET OVER YOURSELVES.
---
Note: Yes, I know there are variations of suffering depending on the disease, disorder, etc. Nah dip, Sherlock. I still don't see how that gives you the right to bash someone when they're speaking of their pain or suffering. And this isn't about pity-partying or pansies either. I'm talking about diseases, disorders, disabilities, and so on; not paper cuts, knee scrapes, etc. So don't make assumptions too quickly and be mature in your comment(s).
-------------------------------------------------------
EDIT: To be frank, I'm tired of getting comments from people. Especially people who completely miss the point of the stamp, or find some way to twist my words to satisfy their need to be offended and chastise someone.
The stamps are old. I don't really make stamps anymore. I just keep my rants to myself now. Hell, some of my opinions have softened up too in regards to actually caring about those topics these days.
But yeah, comments are disabled now. Thanks to those who offered some interesting insight on any subjects on my stamps!

I have a LD but I don't use that,as an excuse to not learn how to do things. Sure I have to work harder even at simplier things,then most people but that's okay with me. I just work harder at it,and try to get past my LD...people did think I was 'mentally disabled' though,when they heard I had a learning disability and talk to me in a baby voice,like I was five or something ><

We're all on every spectrum somewhere, and some of us happen to be in a "worse" place then others. My sister has ADD. I have high-functioning Autism. My father has ADHD. We've accepted it, but it took a while. Anyone trolling on someone for having a disorder needs to get a life, and a check-up. 'Cause I'm sure their doctor will be happy to tell them what symptoms they have.

I think I'm fortunate to have parents who understand that I sometimes undergo "behaviorial problems" because I get so caught up in my own chaotic thoughts that my mood changes without me realizing ^^" I have another friend who has ADHD (two actually..) and then another who I joke with about it. I tend to feel better about the whole thing when I talk about and it and such c:
But yeah, there are those moments in class where it seems everyone thinks you're a moron because you missed something >3> Or when you come to school nearly falling asleep cuz you can't control your thoughts all night and end up staying awake thinking about crap :C

why im still single ( JK XD)
Oh crap I cant remember what meds DX;; fff.. its starts with a V..
the pills his half white and orange. I hate taking meds because it screws up my diet.
but its sad cause one friend heard I was taking meds and she said "I want to take pills." Now that could kill her O_O; and I dont want that to happen.

They think I'm retarded till my pill gives me partial photographic memory and I start acing tests through cramming
Pffff, I'm still single cuz the guys in my grade are morons :'D
You too? I lose all sense of appetite >3> I pretty much force myself to eat when I'm taking mine.. I just don't feel hungry
People take pills too lightly these days . It's bad enough that we rely on a pill to be able to help our attention span. I mean, apparently we ought to grow out of it and not need the pill eventually, but even so, we're pretty reliant on it. The side affects suck-- and who knows what it could do to someone who doesn't actually need it? Scary stuff

Yeah, my pills give me engery ( well what the doc said ) but the side effects do help, I become more organized and more happier xDDDD so I guess thats a bright side.
Oh and the pill I take I bieleve is called "Vivance" I think.

As always,I utterly agree ^_^ I have a math disorder (not yet diagnosed, but i will be tested) which makes it so I cant see numbers correctly T_T I do admit, I use it as an excuse from time to time.... But what else am I supposed to say ^_^ a teacher once asked me why I wrote 8+2=5. Well I saw that 8 as a 3 >.< I argued with a teacher for 5 minutes about how that 8 was a 3 then realized what it was xD but I have had teachers, peers and even my own parents tell me I couldn't use my disorder as an excuse TwT but that little stamp made me feel a whole lot better ^_^ I should be able to voice my complaints and talk about my disorder

Sometimes it's necessary to use it as an excuse, lol. Otherwise people get the wrong idea ^^" I know I've told my friends many a time that if I snap at them out of nowhere, I'm really not angry at them, I'm just off in my own world thinking about something that doesn't make me happy ^^"
It's the best way to move on with it ^w^ I know ever since I started talking about my ADD, I've felt a ton better. I think I've also gained much more control over it as well. Plus, having people around you who understand what you're going through is always a much more ideal situation than being surrounded by people who don't owo"

That can be the problem with people now TwT they just don't understand when someone needs someone to talk to about something (lol so many s's xD) Well not all people but you get what I mean i guess xD. It really annoys me when people say they are way worse. It's selfish, and just plain rude I have a psychologist and since I have been with her I have felt so much relief! I had not realized before, but most of the time I have people arguing with me and saying I'm wrong. It feels nice to have someone agree with you!

Thumbs up for Wolfy again!
Oh, I've been hearing all the possible crap about not able to do what others can, like "nobody has it easy so don't use your health problems as an excuse to be a loser" and "there are people who are a lot worse then you so don't complain" and even "don't think you are having more difficult life then others just because you've been in a hospital". And guess what, it doesn't really feel nice at all.
Right now I'm happy to be able to walk outside again and being able to go buy my own food so I don't have to be hungry if I don't get help from others. Two years ago, I couldn't. I've been two days without food because nobody took it seriously when I told them I'm too weak and dizzy to be able to go outside. And then people who can go to school/work hate me because they think I live such an easy life... ^^'

No kidding D:
It's nothing but aggrivatings :/ People sit there and compare between those who are suffering, and those who aren't suffering as much (though still are and are in pain, etc) get ignored and labeled as "not as worse off" Dx
Or they just totally ignore those who are suffering. It seems as if there's a stereotype starting up that everyone is faking

Indeed. Basically everyone is suffering more or less in their life but it's not nice to make it worse by saying such stuff.
Oh, and I smile too much so that's one reason people don't believe I have any problems at all.
Allen has such an easy life too because he smiles so much right? ^^'...Actually I'm the type who makes jokes even after being hit by a car. Really, I did that. They thought I had hit my head. XD

Hey I have ADD too and it can be a pain sometimes. I also have recently found out I have this reflux thing and it blows. Hard. If I eat something that is acidic I end up throwing it up. Sometimes it doesn't even have to be acidic and I am in the bathroom. Well at least on the plus side I'll be able to handle morning sickness fine since I get sick a lot anyways. XD

I agree with you to a point.
There are people out there who use it as a crutch. People post obnoxious things that are off topic or completely ignore the rules and then when someone calls them out on it they go, "Well I have ADHD, so you can't expect me to read that long list of rules" (that's really only six or seven short common-sense rules long). *has dealt with this as forum leader*
But if someone's just going, "Yeah, I have XYZ, so blah," I don't mind. That's not a crutch. *nods*
