#‘could i get an avoidant burrito bowl with extra obsessive-compulsive and some borderline on top. oh and some dependant on the side.’#like it’s relieving to know i’m not the only one with my Symptoms™ but a) all of them seem like lite versions of ‘scary’ mental disorders#and b)#it’s clear from even the wiki page that their purpose is to separate those that adhere to societal and cultural norms#from those that can’t and i just think that’s fucked up in way too many ways for me to put into words rn#one of them was just the social problems associated with adhd#and avpd is basically autism#and others just seem like diagnosis’s they’d prefer to hand out over psychopathy and schizophrenia#the sheer number of overlapping symptoms in mental health and the frequency of misdiagnosis’s have completely eroded my faith in our current#understanding of psychology. a majority of the related symptoms are believed to be caused by trauma and are highlighted in trauma disorders#so i don’t understand why it isn’t common knowledge and practice that mental illness is inherently traumatic and that the symptoms of trauma#associated with them need to be dissected from the actual disorder itself if you want any hope at managing it and avoiding future trauma#and then treating that trauma separate of the underlying condition#but what the fuck do i know i’m a college dropout#psych is one of the few courses i passed tho
