I hate how we as a society have watered down mental disorders, like suddenly everyone is ADHD and neurodivergent. Which one should I be? OCD? It's Abeegail again and welcome to my blog. Just know that I'm pissed because someone people are getting on some of the nerves that belongs to me.
Let's gather round, please I don't want to shout today, why is it that everyone has a mental disorder. Mental disorder are so watered down that it seems like everyone has one now. Dare I ask, who are the neurotypicals, if everyone is neurodivergent? What Is going on? There's no stigma around mental illness as everyone is now mentally ill. Okayy ooo.
With one Tiktok video, a Tiktok video, Tiktoker who are MOST of the time, just click bait, just people who are looking for likes and views to feel validated, those are the people you want to get a mental health evaluation from. And you go around watering down someone else's struggle because you think it's a trend, you think it's cool to be different, instead you are just part of the herd, who are just mindlessly following through. Your friend is ADHD so why can't you have your own mental disorder, so you can be special too.
The part that flies over my head when you expect the world to just bend around your so called "ADHD" ass, I can't do this my ADHD is making me overstimulated, I can't think", I can't do that my "ADHD" is acting up. Will you take responsibility and stop using your fake mentality disorder to cover your irresponsibility joor. If you want to be irresponsible, be irresponsible with your full chest, on your own volition.
Own it babe.
Nobody will beat you.
Did you go to a certified psychologist or therapist to get evaluation, no. You just stay on your own and give yourself mental illness, you are following the words of online people. Okay ooo.
The worse of all is the people that say that they are depressed. Do you know what it means to be depresed, do you know what it entails, not the trending Tiktok version. Maybe if you did, you'll not wish it on yourself, being depressed has to be the new trending thing, somehow everyone is dead inside or you don't just want to miss out on the opportunity to look special.
Now you can be depressed or you can be just sad, difference? Sadness is an emotion you feel, just like anger, or jealousy, or happiness. It's when you feel bad about a certain event or person, it's a sour feel in your heart. Sadness is a fleeting emotion, it usually passes when you feel upbeat again or when something good happens and you'll feel sad when something bad happens again. Depression is not sadness, I repeat Depression is not Sadness. Depression is a mental health condition, where one PERSISTENTLY feels emotionally empty, you are not particularly sad, you are not happy either, everything just feels flat. Everything has lost its color and nothing interests you again, you don't look forward to anything and every thing can feel extremely difficult, even doing small things, can feel overwhelming. You usually feel numb, like there's no point in living.This is what depression feels like. I could go on because I have done my fair share of research, as a girl who thought she was depressed, and found out that I'm not.
I'm not a professional, and if you feel like something is wrong with you mentally, maybe seek professional help, but this is coming from a girl who thought she was depressed, ADHD and neurodivergent at some point in her life, and sometimes used that as an excuse to be a trashy person, so i do know ball. So don't limit yourself in your mind because you think having a mentally disorder is trending or fun or you want to use mental disorders as a pass to be a pain in the neck. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.
Now I'm not trying to belittle anyone's experience but please know what you are dealing with before you assign yourself an illness that you are not sure of because people do have this illnesses and you are watering it down, because no one will take them seriously as everyone now has a "cool" mental disorder.
So please do your research, open like 50 tabs on chrome if you have to, before you gift yourself mental disorder okayyy.
It's Still Abeegail ✨💗
