Sometimes we don't want to argue with people and that's fine. Sometimes we want to keep our posts free of trolling and/or negativity and that's fine. Sometimes we're too tired to deal with someone or something, and that's absolutely valid.

Tumblr allows us to filter tags, delete notes and block users for a reason.

You should never try to convince yourself that if you don't reply to every single comment or addition you're somehow wrong in what you think. You're not censoring others or depriving them of their freedom. This is your own space and you should feel free to share it with whoever you want.

I've noticed that most of the information they're spreading is incorrect or misunderstood and -although these headcanons are for fictional characters- real people who struggle with mental illnesses have to live with them 24/7 and the stigma surrounding their diagnoses isn't a joke.

Maybe I'm just being too dense, but I really can't ignore it.

In my country, psychologists spend 5 years of their lives learning the correct way to diagnose people, and even the psychology students who use diagnostic manuals regularly need a professional's guidance the first hundred times because DIAGNOSING IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NEVER BE TAKEN LIGHTLY and it definitely isn't as simple or easy as checking a list of symptoms...

...Reading a wikipedia article or watching a Kati Morton video isn't enough research and it doesn't make people experts on the topic. Please remember this when reading fan headcanons.

Mental health shouldn't be trivialized...

***please don't try to turn this into cheap tumblr drama. I'm talking about a trend instead of specific content creators for a reason.

I'm not throwing shade to anyone in particular because i've seen at least 4 different posts tonight and I'm pretty sure that the authors just weren't aware of what I said.
