oh yall for those of you who don’t know, unfollow me if you think people have to have a diagnosis to say they’re mentally ill. I’ve experienced the same exact fucking symptoms of schizophrenia and BPD since I was 14 … lmao but I wasn’t diagnosed because my family couldn’t afford to see a doctor as we had no health insurance. Surprise almost a decade later and I’m diagnosed with, you guessed it, BPD and schizophrenia. (:

If you think you’re something, you’re probably either entirely correct, or there is definitely something wrong and it should be checked out when you are able to financially and physically.

A neurotypical person wouldn’t make up having disorders, because it’s definitionally not neurotypical to “fabricate illnesses for attention” that’s literally … not neurotypical lmao. So even if they don’t have what they say they have theres still some form of mental illness there.

Furthermore, some people’s psychosis prevents them from seeing doctors because they’re fucking paranoid about it and have thought disorders regarding medical practices … which you guessed it (: is psychosis

And it’s laughable to me that some of you think everyone saying they have psychosis go out and secretly get like fucking street antipsychotics, lmao … going to their local drug dealer for latuda and abilify like hey i need to self treat my psychosis. Lmao thats fucking absurd, you’re fucking absurd.

1) diagnosis doesn’t magically make you mentally ill

2) you’re literally mentally ill before you’re diagnosed, thats literally how they diagnose you, it doesn’t suddenly make you the thing you’ve known you’ve had for years.

3) You know what not everyone can afford to see a doctor or a psychiatrist or anything to get proper treatment and diagnosis.

4) you’re literally reinforcing the idea that mentally ill people don’t know if they’re mentally ill, lmao which is so fucking bullshit on so many levels.

5) there are people with psychosis who are afraid to see doctors because of their psychosis which is psychosis

6) diagnosis of mental illness can inhibit people from working at their jobs, because some jobs don’t allow mentally ill people to work there even if they’re perfectly capable

7) diagnosis can inhibit other medical treatment because doctors can use your illness against you to delegitimize your pain/illness

8) psychiatrists and therapists rarely diagnose minors with psychotic disorders or personality disorders even if they absolutely have it because they legally can’t in some places.

Stop policing mentally ill people and treating us like children who don’t know how to take care of ourselves



AND YOU KNOW WHAT there are people WITH A DIAGNOSIS INVOLVING PSYCHOSIS who do go out and seek hard drugs to treat their mental illnesses, this isn’t exclusive to people without diagnosis, it’s a fucking mental illness thing that mentally ill people do. Getting a diagnosis doesn’t eliminate addiction.



You know how psychiatrists figure out how to diagnose people with psychosis related illnesses ? They fucking ask us, and if we say we have it … bam you get your diagnosis. And as specified before, not everyone can afford the luxury of getting a diagnosis. Fuck. Off.
