Description
I made a stamp like this one for sexualities, now here's one for mental disorders.I hate it when mental disorders are turned into stereotypes, and after that into fads.
"AI AM GOOD AT MATH, AI AM ASOCIAL, AI MUST HAVE AUTISM!1!!!!"
"LULZ, I'M HYPER, I MUST HAVE ADHD, LOL"
"AN HOUR AGO I WAS HAPPY, BUT I'M SAD NOW, I MUST HAVE BIPOLARISM"
I hate when people talk like that.
HFA/Asperger's, ADHD/ADD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, OCD, multiple personality disorder, and many others, have all turned into fads, something everyone should have, something you should be proud of, something to brag about on your web page, something that makes you cooler than other, "normal" human beings.
I'm not saying people should be ashamed of having a mental disorder or hide it from everyone like if it was something wrong you did, because you wasn't the cause of it, and I think that you can sometimes talk about it with someone, if you want. But being proud of it seems really stupid to me, as well as bragging about it with people. I don't see why someone should be proud or ashamed of having a disorder since they weren't the cause of it. Someone could just accept it, you mustn't necessarily be proud or ashamed of it, but, whatever.
The fact it that too many people use these disorders as fads, expecially Asperger's, ADHD and bipolarism at the moment. Asperger's most of all.
I clearly remember that, 9-10 years ago, when I was diagnosed with Asperger's and ADHD, no one knew what Asperger's was, but schizophrenia was the fad at the moment and everyone claimed to have it.
Or, 5 years ago, borderline PD was the fad, and even if Asperger's was alredy well-known, everyone claimed to have borderline. I can remember some people I know that at the time said "I don't have that stupid disorder called Asperger's, I have borderline", and now, after five years, when Asperger's is the new fad, they claim they have Asperger's. How stupid.
I hate when disorders are turned into fads because of some idiots that want to be different. Some people end up not believing people with the real disorders, or just assuming that a person "doesn't have it" because their disorder is not like the general stereotype.
Like, I've had someone telling me I was not intelligent enough to have Asperger's. Or another one who said that I smiled and laughed too much to have it.
I can't really trust people on the web when they claim they have a disorder, and I don't blame people if at first they don't take me seriously about that. It's easy to recognize the difference between someone who truly has one and someone who doesn't IRL, but it's not on the web. I usually observe them. I think that, if someone makes such a big deal about it, brags about it, feels cooler because of it and talks about it like if it was a stereotype and people with it were all the same, they probably don't have it. Ahw, well. My opinion at least.

These people make me feel embarrassed/nervous to mention my mental disorders. The fakers say it's "awesome" and "cool" while it makes my life a living HELL.

That's kind of what it's like in BBC Sherlock; he's been called psychopath and to himself as a "high-functioning sociopath" when he's much more likely to be a high-functioning Autistic. Sure, he can be jerk but he generally doesn't mean to be.

That's part of why I love that show so much.

Because Sherlock is probably Autistic or because he's been called a Psychopath/calls himself a Sociopath? I actually find it kind of insulting that he refers to himself as High-Functioning Sociopath because he's a lot like me and I know I'm not a Sociopath.

No, because I share some tendencies with many of the characters, and they're all painted in a fairly positive light rather than as unlovable people who should be pitied.

This is a thing people do!? No wonder Game Grumps said that having Asperger is a parent's excuse for saying....well I forgot. But they definitely said it was a parent's excuse. No one knows how much of idiot I feel for having disabilities.....its not fun being labelled. ;^; It makes me feel so stupid.

people with adhd have trouble paying attention because most things don't stimulate their brain properly. if they find something that does, they can pay attention for hours on end. my brother can play the same video game for two days straight and i can spend all day reading the same book. we've both been diagnosed with adhd multiple times. he was diagnosed first and given treatment, i refused after seeing what the medication did to him.

Agreed! Two years ago, this girl in my class would tell...like...EVERYONE that she had ADHD. And it was so obvious she was faking it! I honestly couldn't even believe how some poeple beleived her. Everyday she would pretend to be distracted. She would be talking and then suddley point to something and be like, "OMG LOOK AT DAT!" And then she was like, "Oh never mind. I think it was my ADHD!" I was like, "*facepalm* Really? Just...really?" Sometimes she would say something like, "OMG I WAS DISTRACTED ON DAT TEST DERRRRRP!" But she would be one of the first one's done with the test. This was really insulting to me because I accually have ADHD. (I was diagnosed with it in 3rd grade. I think.) And just for fun, on one of the last days of school, I told her I had ADHD and even showed her the papers from my docter. And then I said to her, "You know, I don't think you have ADHD." And she raged at me for a while. So I was like, "Why don't you bring the papers to prove that you have ADHD!" XD I swear, she went pale when I said that! She was like, "Ok." She never brought the papers. XD
(Holy crap, I didn't relize how long this comment is! O.O)

They believed her because most people are ignorant and don't know about disorders :/
Damn, I don't know where my diagnostic papers are. But unlike that girl I could get them anytime; I could just e-mail the hospital where I was diagnosed and the would send me a copy via e-mail. Or maybe I could just ask my father where he put them.
I hate the stereotype that people with ADHD are talking and then suddenly say "OMG, look at that". I don't do this, nor anyone I know that has ADHD does this :/ that makes people who actually have it look dumb.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ikr! The thing I don't get is why some people accually WANT to get a disorder! That isn't a good thing to brag about! It's accually kinda hard living with a disorder (at least in my experieces). So they're basicly asking to make their lives harder.

I feel yah; they hear on TV that people with Asperger's/ADD/whatever are geniuses, gifted, intelligent and ignore the struggles of people who actually have the disorders. They don't educate themselves :/

I really dislike when people say that they have a mental illness just because they fit some stereotype. Being mentally ill is not fun, awesome or cool; it's not a superpower or some sort of award, it can be a burden and a curse (I'm not saying it is, but I sure suffered more than once because of my ADHD). Really, I doubt half of those people would last a week if they actually had the disease they so proudly claim to have.

I know i have ADHD for sure, the therapist told me.
But i hate it when people go like "I HAVE SOCIAL ANXIETY I DUNT LIEK TO TALK!!!1!1!1!!2 IM SHY 2!!!"
ItS FUCKING ANNOYING.
I mean, its one thing if you have it, and its another if your faking it for pointless drama.

"I HAZ SUCIAL ANXIETY, I DUNT LEIK TALKING1!!!11!"- then what are you doing now, moron? :/
Yeah, I know what you mean. Someone with actual social anxiety would be too shy to say they have it to many people :/

I also hate it when they fake bipolar disorder.

Thank you so much! I actually have autism, and it makes me so angry when people play with it like a fad and think it's cute. Then in the very rare occasion when I tell someone (because I don't freaking announce it like it's some award) they don't believe me because it's been diminished into some fad. It's like, can you please not lump me with the phonies??
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I see what you mean :/
I hate it when people announce it like some kind of award as well. Like, do they want a fucking medal or something??
People not taking you seriously when you tell them you have autism is the worst part :/ it's just as bad as people treating you like you're completely crippled and can't do anything with your life :/
This is why I only tell people about my ADD: everyone believes me and no one acts like I'm completely crippled :/
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I don't believe in using a disability or neurological differences as an excuse to be childish towards others. If you have Autism, yes you have somewhat of a childish mind in a way but it's not an excuse for acting immature and nasty and the same thing can go towards pointing fingers and accusing others of being fake.
This is the internet and there's no effing way of really proving who has what and who's lying. You gotta sort of play it by ear and just leave someone alone if their causing trouble on purpose. :/

it's because they want to seem different from other teenagers
but that is definitely not the right way to do it
when i was a dumb weeaboo i told everyone i was schizo so much i started believing it myself it was horrible
one time i told someone about my PTSD and they literally tried to clarify it by asking if it was 'that thing the military people get when someone dies'

Agreed. When telling one of my friends I had OCD, they were like "oh yeah everything has to be symmetric and perfect for me, I probably have it too" I was struggling to keep in my anger T_T

i`m bipolar and got over depression, and i have no need to use it to get attention, that's just bullshit. but i hate a girl who says `i`m bipolar/emo/depressed! she should be fucking grateful about her life, since she has a normal fucking family and people who love here even though she's a total dick.

I get very distracted, annoyed and threatened when people get on my nerves. I don't think they realize what they're handling with when it comes to bugging me and hurting me.

I might have ADHD, but honestly, I hope I don't have it. I have mood swings a lot, but that's because of my love of sugar and lack of sleep, I'm not bipolar or anything.
And I'm sort of smart, but that doesn't mean I have Autism.

I was diagnosticated yesterday as having Avoiding personality disorder. Sure I am not happy about it. And I don't want Attention because of it. But at least now I can put a word on it and it make me feel at least a bit better because now I can try my best to, even if I have that, do my best to interact with others and not fear regection all the time. After all, how the hell will I be able of making friends if I always think they will reject me? I have enough of mistrusting my friends. Also I have generalizing anxiety disorder I go to a congnitiv comportemental therapy but even with that I have difficulty. I talk about it, not because I want attention but because I don't understand why I should be ashame of it or why I should hide it. I don't want attention I just want support andI have enough that people mistake wanting support from wanting attention or pity. It's not the same thing. I have also dyspraxia, ADHD or more like Attention Difficit disorder and also epilepsy and Deadly allergies. And I don't want to hide it because you can never know when something will happen. How would people react if I don't tell anything and one day have an attack or anything? And why would people actually WANT it?! I would give anything to be able to make friends esily or to be able to concentrate in class and all the other things that come with ADHD or not being THAT clumsy or not having to take medication because if I don't have it I will have seizures or not being able to eat fish or peanuts. How can someone actually WANT it?!?!! Sorry...

I was in the psychiatric ward in a hospital for kids once for attempted suicide (dysthymia and PTSD), one of my roommates was a schizophrenic. It was really sad, every day he'd wail about how he wanted the voices to stop and he spent all the time he could alone, because he didn't want other kids making fun of his hallucinations. Fuck people who say they have these debilitating disorders. Fuck them so hard.
The worst is when they use it as an excuse to not talk shit about them. I remember I commented on a stamp about [something I can't recall] saying I didn't really like the colors, as they didn't go well together and the stamp was hard to read. The creator just commented, "you're not one to talk, I have autism and I can read this just fine, so what's your excuse?" and then blocked me. Just because you say you have autism doesn't actually mean you have it. And even if you do, it's a shitty excuse. You're a human being and I'm going to treat you like one.
I'm being tested for schizotypal PD, and I wasn't sure if I had it or not, so I went to my doctor to make sure I didn't (as I categorized myself into the symptoms). He said I may just be antisocial, but he told me to record my thoughts at the end of every day for 2 months, and then come back. I feel like something like this is more logical than just claiming that "omg I'm schizotypall!!!!!!1111!" It's not a nice thing to have, I don't know why people glorify mental illnesses. I'd much rather not have them - I can't believe people actually want to have something wrong with them.

Exactly this!
Once my best friend asked me "do you think I have some sort of mental disorder?". She asked me because she wanted an excuse to get people's attention and time (she said it openly). I got mad at her. Why do you fucking want a disorder????
I hate when people without disorders do that. You are ok, you should thank God, destinity, or whatever you believe in for that!

I've actually been diagnosed with Aspergers by a a professional. And I believe more people are living with it than we thing. But it drives me absolutely bat-crap INSANE when people just throw the term around lightly like it's some cool edgy fashion accessory. I also get angry when people tell me that I shouldn't be proud of my Aspergers because it's a mental disease. I'm not proud to have Asperger's. I'm proud to be an individual who's not afraid of my own disorder .
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah! Being proud of your accomplishments as a person despite your disorder is not the same as being proud of your disorder. More people should realize that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know right! And more people should realize that it's not something to be used as an excuse to be a jerk. I sometimes have to ask people to stop doing everyday things because they're driving me crazy, and I feel terrible about it. But that doesn't mean I hate the person. I just can't stand some very normal sounds/smells.
