Pages: 1 2  Next -- Posted by californication at 3:00 pm on July 3, 2008 I swear half of the stuff I see on here is not true. Well that is a given, but when they talk about disorders, diseases, depression... people take it way too far and say that have schizophrenia, OCD, manic depression. Have you got tested by a doctor, by professionals, who say that you have it? I honestly doubt it. I have schizophrenia, my friend has aspergers, my aunt has OCD. They were tested with it, they don't just show some small minimal signs and then suddenly go around saying they have OCD. Organizing your lip gloss a certain way does not mean you have OCD. Fucking hell These are serious things people need to live with, don't take them so casually, so lightly. -- Posted by Skip at 3:01 pm on July 3, 2008 a lot of people tend to do this, because they like to blame their problems on things like disorders -- Posted by smarty at 3:01 pm on July 3, 2008 Couldn't have said it better myself -- Posted by Hontoshimu at 3:02 pm on July 3, 2008 what you just described is commonly referred to as the friendly neighbourhood emo im depressed, im mentally ill, i cant help what i do if its not one thing with them its something even more retarded fucking idiots -- Posted by xjacquieandx at 3:03 pm on July 3, 2008 Quote: from Skip at 6:01 pm on July 3, 2008 a lot of people tend to do this, because they like to blame their problems on things like disorders QFT -- Posted by broken1 at 3:03 pm on July 3, 2008 haha amen. self diagnosis is futile. especially since half of these drama queens on here want to have something screwed with them because they feel special. talk to me when your doctor tell you you have been clinically depressed since you were 7. then i'll listen. till then, shut the hell up. -- Posted by Skip at 3:04 pm on July 3, 2008 also californication when you say people take them casually, they really dont.  they just dont know the seriousness of it all.  its not as if they are trying to mock you.  its just because they are very cautious of their mental health and are misinformed when it comes to actual disorders -- Posted by ii rock at 3:04 pm on July 3, 2008 ive gotten diagnosed with tourettes and OCD, but because i have those its extreamly likley that i have social anxiety disorder. [i havnt been diagnosed but my mum is a nurse and i show all the symptoms ect.] so im totally real.. unfortunatly. -- Posted by californication at 3:05 pm on July 3, 2008 Quote: from Skip at 3:04 pm on July 3, 2008 also californication when you say people take them casually, they really dont.  they just dont know the seriousness of it all.  its not as if they are trying to mock you.  its just because they are very cautious of their mental health and are misinformed when it comes to actual disorders Yeah, I guess so, it just really bugs me. -- Posted by pugdoglover5192 at 3:05 pm on July 3, 2008 I guess that it just depends on the person. -- Posted by sarah is hot at 3:05 pm on July 3, 2008 Quote: from californication at 10:00 am on July 4, 2008 I swear half of the stuff I see on here is not true.

"I have schizophrenia, my friend has aspergers, my aunt has OCD. They were tested with it" Why does a doctor have to tell you what you have or do not have? If only a doctor can validate these conditions, then they do not exist in any real form. If you aren't autistic until a doctor says you are... Let the people be what they want to be. Who cares if they are merely associating with a group because of some real or perceived attitudes or actions that they perform? If jenny has to organize her markers by color, size and thickness, then let her be OCD; it does nothing to you. -- Posted by californication at 3:07 pm on July 3, 2008 Quote: from sarah is hot at 3:05 pm on July 3, 2008 Quote: from californication at 10:00 am on July 4, 2008 I swear half of the stuff I see on here is not true.

My aunt has been on meds since she was a child. The guy with aspergers, it's a form of down syndrom, easy to test for. All of us have been on plans. I'm not sure about my aunt right now, but I know my friend goes in monthly, and takes tests. Not just from your average doctor, he has had to travel to different provinces for them to do tests on him. It is way more valid then organizing your shoes by your closet or talking to yourself one night, and then diagnosing yourself. -- Posted by tiocfaidh ar la at 3:11 pm on July 3, 2008 fuck off and get a life and dont read them topics if u dont like it im sure an emo like u wud think thjat ur probs are way more important then anyone elses anyway so trust u 2 make this topic -- Posted by californication at 3:13 pm on July 3, 2008 Quote: from tiocfaidh ar la at 3:11 pm on July 3, 2008 fuck off and get a life and dont read them topics if u dont like it   im sure an emo like u wud think thjat ur probs are way more important then anyone elses anyway so trust u 2 make this topic lol an emo.

Okay okay okay whatever dude, I wasn't trying to deny that your dopamine levels are abnormally high, merely pointing out that you are using the fact that you were professionally diagnosed to lessen other people. "I was diagnosed by a doctor, therefore you don't have ADHD." -- Posted by LudovicoTechnique at 3:15 pm on July 3, 2008 It's getting ridiculous, everything can be blamed on a disorder nowadays. People don't want to take responsibility for their shortcomings, so they blame it on a disorder. That and half the people on this forum say they have a disease just to make themselves sound interesting, because in reality they are straight boring and plain. NOTE: I'm not saying everyone on this forum is like that, but most are. -- Posted by Aliboo at 3:16 pm on July 3, 2008 I so see your point.

Aspergers is in the Autism spectrum... it's not even close to down syndrome, which has to do with chromosomes. I was with you for a little until I read some of your arguments. As someone who studies these disorders, I do dislike when people tend to self-diagnose for silly reasons.

They can deal with their issues in a lot of better ways than just diagnosing themselves    Like cutting, drug abuse, or lashing out at others. Even if they diagnose themselves, they still aren't taking meds, they are still in the same state of mind, who says that once they diagnose themselves they wont cut or anything? That will probably give more reason for them to do that. If they think they have a disorder, they will just assume they are more fucked up and want to abuse themselves or others. All diagnosing yourself is is a block to the real world. It doesn't deal seriously with anything, and it doesn't help. Pages: 1 2  Next
