Yep. The problem with Tumblr is that it's full of self-diagnosed dipshits and otherkin; this probably wouldn't be too bad alone but they often want to make people with genuine problems believe specialists want to harm them and that they should trust their ilness instead. This is fucking bullshit, and yet a lot of folks with actual mental disorders (usually the 'tism and such, but also bipolar and schizphrenia) on that site buy into this. Nobody should "trust" their mental ilness, it's a parasite gnawing on me and taking my joy away, not a ~~quirky friend making me unique~~.

The thing I feel is toxic about the Internet as a whole and Tumblr in particular is that it lets crazy people validate each other's crazycakes instead of being told that what they're doing is not culturally or socially appropriate and/or is harming themselves or others.

They want to argue that mental illness is legitimately just as much an imbalance in the body as any other chronic condition that requires medical maintenance and then at the same time bash the psych profession for daring to diagnose them and prescribe them the medications they need.

Ugh as someone with chronic depression this just...makes me so sad. So, so sad. Especially since I struggled for a long time with finding professional help, and I didn't really get better until I'd gotten it (medication and, after a long time of searching, a good therapist - and I almost gave up on that). People need encouragement to seek help, not validation of the demons that are lying to them and sucking away their life.

:( :( :(

This. It really clarifies the actual danger. Self-diagnosis can be problematic, but it's the attitudes, or romanticizing of mental illnesses that does the damage.
