"just be yourself" has always been one of my most hated things to hear from someone. it may sound simple and easy to you, but when you grew up never able formed a single solid personality (because you grew up autistic or for some other reason) and/or have always felt more like 20 different personalities in a trench coat who fight over who is supposed to be in charge, that "simple" advice is so much less simple.....it can even seem impossible.

“Winners don’t hit snooze” drop dead actually. Fucking die.

Winners don’t go around assuming everyone is just as privileged and healthy and well rested as them

Winners don’t shame others for whatever accommodations they might need to maintain a decent quality of life

Winners don’t act like pretentious ableist assholes in fact I’m pretty sure winners are perceptive open-minded kind and understanding. Idk

self diagnosed system culture is "hey why'd you change your little thing from osdd 1a to did to udd"

Another unpopular opinion

Trying to diagnose yourself is like a double edged sword. If your trying to find answers in online support groups, we'd strongly recommend against it especially if your young. Giving people away your private information as a child online isn't safe. Especially if you have a dissociative disorder or D.I.D.

Alot of people will do a small bit of research and go boom! "I have this!" Without considering other disorders with similar symptoms. Its honestly wild to us the amount of self diagnosed people who just instantly say that they have DID and other disorders with little to no research.

Mental illness and disorders aren't a label that you just slap on yourself, doctors and psychiatrists can misdiagnose people. So its just as easy for others to misdiagnose themselves. Talking to people OUTSIDE of the internet, doing therapy and focusing on treating and managing your symptoms is the best way to go. Especially if a prpper diagnosis isn't available due to lack of funds.

“You can’t self diagnose thats disrespectful to people actually suffering from that” okay but have you considered dying a slow miserable death

Therapist, trying to help us with socializing; You have a great personality

To all other systems, I'm curious. Does anyone else ever feel like things are too big? Like currently, my hands and phone feel they're like 1.5 times bigger than they should be. Anyone have similar experiences?

Hey, yo, actually mentally ill Tumblr;

Does anyone else do things like sit down and stand up again or lay down in bed and sit up etc repeatedly? Cos I. Like. Every time I lay down in bed I have to get up again, adjust pillow, adjust clothes, lay hair across pillow in a specific way, aaand then do it all again because "it doesn't feel right" and I've been doing this for minutes on end h e l p

I'm just trying to relax like brain please 😭

Why is “selfish” a bad word?? If you don’t ever put yourself first you will die?? I don’t mean to sound facetious or hyperbolic but I feel very strongly about this. Be selfish. Be your own biggest supporter. Love and care for yourself in a way that nobody else ever would. Why wouldn’t you?? You’re the only one that has to live your whole life as you. You’re the only one that has no escape from your own company. Be selfish.

If the only reason you help others is because it feels good to be helpful, or because you want to be perceived as a good person, or because you like when people are indebted to you, that’s not bad that’s just human. Be selfish. Good for you for looking out for yourself. Bonus points if you’re able help other in the process, regardless of your motivation for doing so.

we are firmly going with being a self suspecting system until February when we can get a psych eval and are either given a different diagnosis or told we're correct -sterling
