people self diagnosing themselves with disorders

as if its some short of trend?? bpd is a great example.

understand how offensive it is to the individuals that have this disorder (i myself am one) and we struggle everyday with it.so many years of therapy,manic episodes,and so on - yet some people think its a 'flex' to have it and self diagnose? and ofc, most of them don't even go to therapy, and they use it for their shitty behaviour. "uhm sorry 🤭 i have bpd 🙂‍↔️ " girl. can you not?

in general, people should stop self diagnosing themselves with such serious disorders — its not cute,and its most definitely not a flex.understand that misdiagnosing oneself or using these labels casually can trivialize the experiences of those who genuinely live with these conditions.seeking guidance from qualified professionals is always the best step.

Edit: I'm reading y'alls comments and all i can say is I'm very happy that theres common understanding to this issue! I agree with you,it’s absolutely okay to have suspicions and seek understanding, but it’s equally important to approach it responsibly and with the guidance of professionals.

I'd like to give a prime example of what kind of people I'm targeting with this post, speaking from personal experience. I was friends with that one girl who'd claim she had bpd,with no diagnosis whatsoever.she made it her personality trait,to the point where to her birthday party she only invited people with mental disorders, specially bpd.I was not aware of this,however when i arrived there were only 5 people in total, and she started off by saying how nice it is that all of 'us bpd girlies' are here and that now we can have some short of group therapy. i was flabbergasted,i called her out on her behaviour,and we ended up arguing.she even said that by doubting her,i was offending her "traumatic experiences" that lead to her having bpd. and spoiler, mind you by her own words,she had a great childhood,she was very spoiled and is to this day in her 20s, and the only "traumatic" thing that happed to her is getting rejected by her crushes. Go figure 💀 i most definitely lost more than a few braincells that night.ps: she has a bf now, and suddenly she's "cured" 🤡 goodnight
