Re: "Self-dx" on Tumblr... (Please hear this out.)

[kallanda_lee]

AFAIK, on tumblr, those list are basically warnings in terms of what people should be considerate about.

Then again, as someone who did suffer mental illness (and didn't really have great doctors, so no consistent diagnoses) - labels absolutely can help. Both in terms of what kind of benefits/help you're entitled to, which medication would work AND on a personal level so you have a "box" to explain and tell to people.

So, in that sense, I can understand the whole phenomenon of "feeling or even knowing something is off with you' and picking a label that fits. Hell, I'm an adult now, and still suspect I might have ADD or something else I'm not diagnosed with.

And the problem is people won't even take you seriously with a label, let alone without one.

As for lists of mental illnesses - well, to be fair, some do come in clusters.

Don't get me wrong: self-diagnosing is a pest, but I can see where it comes from.
