there is a very real tendency of teenagers with anxiety disorders self diagnosing with considerably more stigmatized and impairing mental illnesses (e.g. schizophrenia, DID, personality disorders), but the best response to that isn't to get angry with them for "appropriating" lol. instead you show them coping resources for the problems they're actually having and deemphasize diagnostic categories in general. if an 18 year old is claiming to have alzheimer's, they're probably making an innocent mistake and are in genuine distress. be kind.

Also I think this trend comes, at least in part, from how brushed aside anxiety disorders can be. If your parents and teachers dismiss you with 'oh everyone feels anxious', then inevitably you're going to start thinking that there must be something else going on with you

”You must feel very scared right now; let’s talk about how to help you personally, tailored to your symptoms” will always be more helpful than “stop faking (X) for attention”. If theyre that desperate for attention or an explanation, something is wrong.

2024 is the year we stop “consuming” and go back to “reading/watching/listening to/playing” things

if you work in hr fuck you

doxxing yourself is such a relative thing cus there are people who like dont wanna tell anyone that they're from Virginia or wherever but I'll have mutuals who have no issue saying they're from Ireland and Ireland is like WAY smaller than Virginia. like I could probably find you with a bicycle and some effort

we ask that the defense not say "me when i lie" while the witness testifies

BORING! BANAL! PREDICTABLE! CLICHÉ! AND WORST OF ALL… PROFOUNDLY UNCHIC!

something deeply intimate about being outside early in the morning all alone and seeing the world as she is
