ActuallyBPD / ActuallyNPD / ActuallyASPD - People with mental disorders who think expecting them to be nice is ableist

[Pantagamy]

What's frustrating about this is they make this a class issue and say you're classist if you have a negative opinion of self-diagnosis. Except... Publicly funded community mental health exists. Don't have insurance? That's cool, they'll help you get it or treat you for free. Can't drive? A social worker will pick you up. Some schools have psychology clinics staffed by grad students to train them and they're usually practically free.

There are still going to be some people who will have a hard time getting to a mental health professional for legitimate reasons, but it's not some kind of thing that's only available to the wealthy. But I guess that doesn't give you oppression points on the Internet.

To be honest, I have no idea how it works in the U. S. of A. but from what I've heard it can be difficult if you live in a rural area or are below the poverty line.

Apart from that, what I think the reason a some teens with legit issues aren't getting help say is that their parents won't let them.
Which is legitimate in my opinion, knowing how many middle aged people don't "believe in" depression and think vaccines cause autism.
Other adults think therapy is for completely deranged psychopaths and its super shameful to see one.
OR "Nah billy your homicidal urges are totally normal. I had em too when I was your age"

Unfortunately a lot of these teens also use these things as an excuse to not TRY HARDER to get help. It sucks shit, sure, but your health is your health. Be grateful that in this age people are actually talking about mental illness and not just blowing their brains out at 35 because they thought alcohol could solve all their problems.

I legitimately wish these people are not faking their disorders. Because if they are, that would mean they are toxic humans that treat everyone else like shit for no reason, on purpose, and they enjoy it.

I mean, if that were true, would you be surprised?

The NPD shit is exceptional as fuck too. The "NPD community" on tumblr uses a term called 'narc supply'.
i.e. - "Lol youre all cunts for not giving me enough narc supply today. Can I get some messages telling me I'm perfect? Thanks lmfao."

The term "narc supplies" sounds like drug terminology.

Even if they weren't faking their disorders, they are still toxic pieces of shit. Mental disorders, especially Cluster B personality disorders are no excuse for treating other people like shit for whatever reason.

It basically is.

See this shit on Twitter too, although it's harder for people to circlejerk since there isn't a tagging system like on Tumblr

If you don't allow yourself to suffer in an abusive relationship then you're ableist. If you REALLY cared about mentally ill people you'd let them treat you like shit at the expense of your own mental health

I seriously don't understand why these people act like therapy isn't a thing and mentally ill people can't or shouldn't recover and learn to stop being abusive

Being mentally ill doesn't give you an excuse to be a dick.

Stop being a dick.

Here is my modest proposal: anyone who brags about having a mental illness should be ineligible for welfare or other forms of public assistance related to that illness. Because if it betters your life, if you refuse to change your behavior because it's "who you are", why should you receive the public's help?

 

[bvt_hooligan]

my guess is that all these people may actually be mentally ill, but not with things they scream about. because no sane person would ever want to have a mental disorder or brag about how abusive and narcissisitc they are for every living soul to know.

or maybe they're all just a bunch of edgy attention whores, i dunno.

They're about a half step away from a "Can I speak to the manager?" haircut.

Yeah, because being disgustingly rude to the people working there just because YOU were not satisfied is totally fucking acceptable.

Entry-level evil.

 

[Attraction Slime]

I thought I would have more fun making fun of these people, but it's just depressing to know they thrive in these communities.

Thread adjacent story, I heard a heap of angry BPD's ranting about a particular book on how to deal with BPD's, saying it was evil, ableist and the worst, that the author should die etc. I ended up reading the book because I was so curious, it was a completely harmless guide stating that the non-BPD doesn't have to put up with BPD manipulation, and offering strategies on how to empathetically resist BPD bullshit.

Naturally, they'd hate that, I guess.

I'm posting this here because I found it through the "actuallywhatever" tags. Hold on to your hats folks, there's a lot to unpack here

What the fuck is a perisex? What is a radikweer? What is a REG? Why does it say "Not a discourse blog" and the first post, as you can see, is discourse over self diagnosis? Yes, this person self diagnosed themselves with all of that bullshit.

I could believe they're a schizo, actually.

Do they not realize that pretty much every first world or sufficiently developed country (which one would assume they are in if they're using tumblr) has laws against firing someone solely for disability, race/ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or gender? They can certainly fire you over behavior problems from a mental disorder such as disrupting the work place, not acting professionally, or not coming into work or due to being physically unable to perform a job due to physical disability, but being transgendered or having a mental disorder while functioning reasonably is not a fireable offense and an employer firing for those reasons can be sued in countries with antidiscrimination acts.

*cracks knuckles*

>What the fuck is a perisex?
it means 'not intersex', because that needed a word other than normal.

>What is a radikweer?
its a term making fun of genderspecials who think that screaming on the internet is activism

>What is a REG?
'reactionary exclusionary gatekeeper' aka someone who doesnt think asexuals are LGBT aka someone with a brain

>Why does it say "Not a discourse blog" and the first post, as you can see, is discourse over self diagnosis?
because this person is a baby who doesnt like confrontation and would probably crytype otherwise

well, if they do have a mood disorder or a personality disorder, there’s no way in sam hell they have six. that level of comorbidity is basically impossible.

some of them do have overlapping symptoms, but each, especially pertaining to personality disorders? have very specific diagnostic criteria that must be minimally met with a number of symptoms out of the total that comprise it. If you don’t qualify for the minimum symptoms, you’re a no go.

Proof further that none of them understand the fundamentals of the DSM, personality disorders aren’t all one massive conglomerate with interchangeable traits, there are a few shared similarities, that’s about it, as each disorder is still distinctly in its own category- tumblr logic is basically that “all severer mental disorders will get me the same amount of unwarranted attention”. That’s not how it works. The reason they often don’t go to shrinks is because they want to wallow in the idea that they have it without being told they might have something else that therefore would make them less disadvantaged in the eyes of their tokenistic webmd circle

 

[Militant Homosexual]

Is it possible for there to be a mental disorder where you make up mental disorders for attention? Seeing as people with Borderline/Histrionic personality disorders often have these inferiority complexes, it makes sense that they would try to parade around these illnesses for the pity of naive internet users.
