I honestly have REALLY mixed feelings on full-blown anti-psych / anti-medication / anti-diagnosis / etc. etc. movements because while yes, being critical of psychiatry, the DSM, and the misuse of psychiatric medication is extremely important and necessary, every single time I hear someone say that everyone can just be fixed with therapy it makes me want to eat glass

#like yes therapy definitely helps and I'm definitely not opposed to the idea of therapy being destigmatized or treated as solely medical #but at the same time I need adderall and anti-anxiety Carol #idc whether or not I'm considered ''normal'' by other people. i care about my mental problems being distressing for *me*#all this to say I detest the massive over-correction into NOBODY SHOULD BE LABELED ANYTHING EVER AND MEDICATION IS BAD #because I've personally found diagnosis to be highly helpful for communication; understanding myself; as well as advocating for what I need #again these things have Issues i'm just. not super on board with ''it all sucks tear it down''#idek how to tag this lmao
