All of us are mentally ill. Some are just undiagnosed.

[(Anonymous)]

True that.

[(Anonymous)]

Wouldn't that imply that mental illness is something of a culture-bound syndrome, and that what's really happening is that our inability to both live up to the dominant social ideal and to eliminate inconvenient emotions is being conceptualized as an "illness?"

[feotakahari]

We conceptualize past mental damage as an illness, but we don’t conceptualize some forms of past physical damage as an illness, even though everyone has both. Like, it’s not really treated as an “illness” if you messed up your knee playing high school football.

Mental health is a scale with the social ideal in the centre. Variety is not accepted. Not sure about culture bound tho. It was always there but was explained by magic and religion before.

[(Anonymous)]

DA

I would say it's culture bound. While there's some level of intolerance toward seeking help in the majority of cultures, how that intolerance is expressed varies considerably. The example that comes to my mind is gambling addiction, something that is going to be perceived differently in some Southeast Asian cultures (where there are a number of traditional rituals that involve gambling) compared to much of the West (where gambling has always been viewed with some level of skepticism). The latter will still consider the addiction a moral failing, while the latter could see getting help as turning one's back on tradition.

If you stick to the discussion, not personal attacks, I think that's completely reasonable as a form of internet interaction. Unfortunately, most people aren't really capable of sticking to the facts and get emotive and wound-up, and just *think* they're sticking to the facts.

[(Anonymous)]

Just FYI, if the thread got deleted by mods, you'll still see your own comments.

[(Anonymous)]

huh.

[(Anonymous)]

You’re not responsible for the person on the other end of the discussion. Keep civil if not kind, disengage the moment it becomes personal. That’s really all you can do.

[(Anonymous)]

"Keep civil if not kind"

I appreciate that you started off with the word civil. Thank you.

I keep on seeing secrets referring to an anon who calls everyone a TERF, but I don't actually see that much calling anyone a TERF on FS, especially outside threads where someone is specifically being a TERF-y troll and deserves pushback for that. Do I keep missing the threads where this happens?? Or are those threads with actual transphobic opinions what people are referring to when they talk about this anon?? I'm so confused. I've been baffled for months at this point.

[(Anonymous)]

You kept missing them but it also hasn't happened a huge amount lately. Anon probably got bored being a dumb troll.

[(Anonymous)]

Please Leave, Terf.

[(Anonymous)]

Antis, Antis everywhere!!

Nice try lol
