So...what? Everyone who talks about mental illness on tumblr is making it up? How about you give people the benefit of the doubt. Yeah maybe a few people are faking it, but dont you think it's also possible that people finally feel safe talking about it? I don't really discuss my mental illness anywhere else either because there's always armchair psychologists who want to judge whether I'm crazy enough or not.

DA
I'll give them the benefit of the doubt when they don't loudly proclaim that all their numerous mental illnesses are self-diagnosed.

To be fair I've noticed it can be hard to get an official diagnosis for some mental illnesses. I have PTSD according to the guidelines for it and my own experience of regular panic attacks, dissociation, and flashbacks, but my doctors seem loathe to say anything other than me having Major Depressive Disorder. I have another friend who suffered from PTSD for almost a decade before they finally diagnosed him with it.

And I'm not really sure how Tumblr is like...worse than the usual? There are always SOME people like that. Like a decade ago kids going on how "psycho" they were and "hearing voices".

I still feel safer with the self diagnosed kids, even if some of them are full of shit, than the fuckin "mental health police" judging people who don't have the money or insurance or ability to get into therapy and get officially diagnosed. If you actually want to help mentally ill people, give them the benefit of the doubt unless they are actively using mental illness as a scapegoat to hurt others.

No. No I will not give self-diagnosed little shits the benefit of the doubt because they read through some websites and got some result on an online "test" and now are convinced they know more than a professional.

Because guess what? A lot of the people self-diagnosing are actively or passively hurting real mentally ill people.

I get that you're talking about a select group of people here but I'm just curious...

If people aren't getting information from websites and such, how are they supposed to even realize they might need help?

One of the people I've talked to only stared to realize they might be depressed when the read the symptoms from a book.

To get help, most need to have some understanding that something is not quite right. Why begrudge their source?

Oh no, I have nothing against taking information from a website or a book. Even some of the tests available online can be useful. But only if people actually use those resources as a reason to get a real diagnose. Like, I know an online test that's for finding out if you have certain symptoms that correspond with the symptons of depression and if you have a high score, it basically says "you might have depression, you should go see a specialist". But people who self diagnose don't do this, they take the test and decide "oh hey that's it, I got myself some depressions now yay!" and don't even think about trying to get a real diagnose. And those are the people I can't stand.
