I misdiagnosed myself when I was 13 due to lack of education on the subject
Doctors said i was depressed i needed meds i told them to stick it and didnt do it
but now I have a proper diagnosis
again, i dont feel like its always self diagnosing idiots tho
could just be people saying they're "depressed" as a way to aay theyre sad
The thing is, most people will go through depression, but it's often their lifestyle choices that breeds that depression, or a bad experience which they need to get through. But most of the time you can get through it by getting help. But it's not something you brag about, liek you don't brag about being sick
Yeah, but
and education on the thing I don't quite have a diagnosis for yet
I heard those meds can really fuck with you
Saying "I'm depressed" and "I have depression" are two different things
Oh
nvm then im brain dead
that's true but I believe the term "depressed" is used too loosely
I don't blame you actually
I meant that i had depression not depressed
A lot of teenagers would be getting depression because the mentality around not sleeping and staying up late " sleep i for the weak", and lack of sleep does make depression worse.
It is
Depression is a common mental disorder that causes people to experience depressed mood, loss of interest or pleasure, feelings of guilt or low self-worth, disturbed sleep or appetite, low energy, and poor concentration. **Depression is different from feeling down or sad.**
anyway, i myself feel like I have the "symptoms" of stuff like anxiety, but ive never been diagnosed, not that ive ever been checked
Well i didnt really believe i did
see as, many of my friends are high functioning autistic, and we act similar, but i have no autism, so i call myself "low functioning normal"
gives me good laughs
Ha
Ive heard countless stories about meds to help with depression fuck you up even more
I mean
If you say it as a joke
That's fine
I swear autistic has seemed to lost all meaning now
I make fun of my own illnesses all the time
same with trigger/triggered/triggers
I mean its semi serious as well, again I find myself acting similar to people I know have disorders, but I dont have those disorders
As someone who's actually autistic, I don't care when people refer to say roblox as "autistic"
so its like
I hate it when people misuse triggered though
what even
In fact, I find it humorous
i enjoy a good autism joke once in a while
Same
like, as a person with PTSD, I feel like I can't say that word without being laughed at anymore.
me too
