honestly i don’t trust ppl who r like “ur appropriating my illness” like honestly, a small percentage of ppl will acc do *serious harm* by misinformation but most of the time ppl r just looking for support/care when they can’t afford it anywhere else

who cares if they misdiagnose themselves? as long as they have support w the symptoms they DO have thts what matters most. its true ppl esp kids get v concerned w labels bc it does help them feel comfy n feel like they know who they are

but also illnesses are created by the mental health system to stigmatise ppl w ‘socially acceptable’ symptoms n while over the years here’s been better reformation it’s still not on the side of the ppl they’re supposed to be helping so

*unacceptable
