hesitant to post this bc it will not be well phrased and I feel liable to be misinterpreted here but it's been irking me lately to see how often ppl r like "unipolar depression and anxiety are destigmatized disorders" on this website as if if the best case scenario irl you'll get "oooh haha yeah the world sucks lol totally" if you share that u have a depressive/anxiety disorder and then have ppl get so so scared forever when u actually express symptoms of those disorders. it rlly feels like we're taking statements like "oh yeah im so ocd i love organizing things by color" and interpreting that as acceptance and accommodation now.

#like yes very obviously schizophrenia spec and specific PDs are CRIMINALIZED and need to be discussed #w regards to that #but I'm having convos abt that ppl have decided to use the word 'stigmatized' which feels functionally meaningless #to the degree where ppl act like yknow #experiencing chronic suicidality or self-harming tendencies or getting like pseudoseizures due to anxiety low affect due to depression #and any number of other things are suddenly socially acceptable??#as if ppl will be like 'excuse me what flavor of crazy are you' before treating u poorly or calling the cops lol???#idk i feel like ppl treat the dsm like it's holy far too much in these conversations #i say stuff
