[8thmuse]

every time i drink coffee i just get more eepy and sometimes i have the best sleep after drinking a cup.

pls tell me this is not an autism/neurodivergent thing

[augustisnotonline]

Everytime I think of lucifer morningstar I feel like this stupid fucking creature I can't beat the autism allegations anymore.

it's always funny when you're in a mood for reading some stuff about mental illnesses, disorders etc. and you pick one to do a deep dive into, and you read, read, read to finally have is this fucking play about us moment jdksjdjejd

dietitian warned me the other day i may need to go inpatient if this keeps getting worse and it hasn't left my mind ever since. partly because i don't see the reason. i am literally gaining weight. and also because a non-zero part of me wants to go back inpatient and i don't know why

[angelpuns]

I'm supposed to be asleep but I'm thinking thoughts and this is all it has culminated as:

POV you're me trying to logic/reason away what are probably actual symptoms of a mental health...thing BUT IT ARGUABLY IS ONLY PROVING IT MORE??

aren't we tired. aren't we all tired

"I don't like when my kids are sick/hurt" was a wild thing to hear my mom tell my sister after she had surgery (she's fine, just needed to remove a cyst) the other day seeing as this is how she responded when I threw up from (what I assume was) food poisoning a few weeks ago:

And then proceeded to yell at me for spending money on food (I was eating Wingstop) when she got home despite the fact I had thrown up and was on the couch trying to ride it out

one of my controversial opinions is i won't stop using the word narcissist in a way its been used my whole life because of a psychiatric label/diagnosis that shouldn't be called that in the first place

[crimewrought]

beyond any doubt, maria is an evermore/reputation/midnights stylised character

[1eeminho]

should be illegal for people to use psychological diagnoses to describe others if they arent psych professionals im soo serious pls stop u do more harm than good.

[infizero]

really is incredible how i can think sometimes for even a second that i might be neurotypical

[shrimpmandan]

ngl I routinely forget that self-diagnosis discourse is A Thing and every single time it’s like getting slapped in the face by a wet fish of just how fucking insane people are about it. Can self-diagnosis be harmful? Absolutely it can, for numerous reasons. You might overlook something major and end up being treated for the wrong thing, as an example. But on the flip-side, self-diagnosis can also be incredibly helpful for managing symptoms and receiving support when professional help isn’t readily available, especially since professionals themselves are absolutely not immune to biases and bigotry in regards to mental health. It’s a complex topic and I despise seeing people go “ohh all self-dx bad” and “ohh all self-dx good” when the reality of it is that it’s just extremely contextual.

[wienervulture]

cannot tell if im just that open to adjusting perspectives or if this is actually splitting

[buttbiscuit]

I am fucking SCREAMING at this email I got from my psychologist
