And you think my way of thinking is harmful? Lol, you clearly know nothing about mental illness...don't get so mad at me, I'm not the one faking and promoting a mental illness diagnosis in order to get more attention on tumblr...your comment is so illogical, I'm guessing you are a13 year old girl? Please grow up, you know nothing

Did you actually just tell kids it is okay to self diagnose? You are just awful...I really hope you never get a job where you have to advise people...self diagnosing is not okay, what the hell...you literally cannot choose to suffe from something because you like how it sounds...most of the people self diagnosing are attention seeking little brats who would not know a real mental illness if from a common cold...seriously take your stupid opinions and get off my page...self diagnose away, kiddos! God, I really hope you never have a kid of your own, you would tell them it's okay to fake being mentally ill

That's why I don't label myself with an eating disorder, even though I go long periods of time without eating. I have friends with serious eating disorders and it would be insulting to say that just cause sometimes I skip three days at a time means that my small struggle is in league with their life long battle.

I agree with @draconequus, it's still not a healthy thing to do. Just because you're illness isn't as severe as other people's doesn't mean you don't deserve help. It's like "oh, you only have stage 2 cancer? There's other people with stage 4, don't be so insensitive."

No,
i have a side effect of depression.
It's not like that, It's caused my two completetly different things, what i have wouldn't go under the catagory of E.D, it's simply a symptom of deppression.

But it's not a competition either. Not eating for lengthy periods of time is still bad, whether you have an eating disorder or not.

Wow what a harmful way of thinking.
I used to be against self diagnosing too until I got depression and anxiety myself but I didn't realise it because I kept putting my own feelings down. My mindset was literally "shut the up stupid you literally have nothing to be sad about people have it so much worse than you, ungrateful ". I literally went on for a year and a half thinking like that and being so miserable before I actually started thinking that I should probably do something about it. So yeah, self diagnose kids✌️
p.s. I have a book on anxiety that encourages humanising your mental illness and so does my counsellor so that xoxo
