making a new rule for myself where i’m not allowed to do prolonged worrying if i’m running on less than five hours of sleep. i force myself to put those thoughts back in the worry drawer and i am only allowed to take them out after a better night’s sleep. that’s a completely different person waking up

arriving too late to a work meeting, coming directly from the airport after the most fab week in London, with my suitcase in one and an overpriced coffee in the other hand, is the most main character moment I ever had and nobody can take that away from me.

i think when people talk about dsm diagnoses being 'destigmatised' it's usually the case that what they mean is the public perception of the diagnosis name (depression, anxiety, etc) has become associated with minor, temporary, or resolvable forms of distress. the experience of being so depressed you cannot get out of bed, or brush your teeth, or work -- that experience and those behaviours have never been 'destigmatised,' only associated with other diagnostic labels in certain discourses seeking to present 'depression' as treatable or minor. it's basically a semantic nosological shift, rather than any actual 'destigmatisation' of the behaviours psychiatry exists to pathologise -- widening (minimising) the diagnosis, then just moving any leftover 'scary' symptoms to a different diagnostic bucket. it's a rhetorical shell game that does not challenge, but exists symbiotically with, the ableism that causes behaviours like "not being able to get out of bed" to be stigmatised in the first place.
