3eto Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I know that people online are not psychologists/psychiatrists, but I have this tendency of believing that if more than one person thinks so, it must be true. If more than one person says it, what does it mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resolute Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 even if many people say or believe something, that still doesn't make it necessarily true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, it happened to me because I got rejected by everyone, or at least it seems like it is everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3eto Posted January 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 The Nekci Menij Show - Episode 16 - Blockout 2.0: This video describes my mood swings. Sometimes, I am in a good mood, like Adole was at the start of this video, but then people make offensive jokes about me, and I end up with a bad mood.

smallstar Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I don't even trust psychiatrists to give a proper diagnosis, let alone people online without degrees I've never met. You could probably go to 5 different psychiatrists and get 5 different diagnosises. At least that's my experience. Good luck Resolute 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malign Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Asking lots of uninformed people a question and getting the same answer from many of them might simply mean that they're all similarly misinformed. That's not counting people's tendency to be free with opinions online that they would never voice in person.The best way to get any kind of opinion on a health matter (mental or otherwise) is to ask someone who is specifically trained in the treatment of such problems. Even then, it's an opinion, but most likely they will at the same time offer a treatment plan which you can evaluate on your own. Seriously, it's not what they call it that matters, but rather whether they offer a way that seems to make sense for how to treat it.

IrmaJean Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 I feel that the specific diagnosis (or label) is not necessarily what is important...finding a way to feel better is what truly matters. If a professional is helping, then the person should see and feel improvement. If a specific treatment plan or a therapy relationship is not working out, one can try different methods or different therapists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3eto Posted January 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Have people on the Internet said you had a certain mental illness? Also, if you've also sought psychiatric help, what have you been diagnosed with and could you compare it to what people on the Internet have said?

3eto Posted February 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 I feel like I was unintentionally hurt by the post that went like this: "You have too many of the warning signs of bipolar disorder." It is clear that the person who said that only wanted to scare me into going to therapy, but it unintentionally sounds like the people in my life who have told me that I was too (insert negative trait here).

3eto Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 When we were younger, we were taught to be kind to people with mental illnesses/special needs, but we were not taught how to react correctly when the mentally ill person you're facing is yourself, This is the problem I am afraid of.

3eto Posted April 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 I mean, when I was 13, an occupational therapist said I might have Asperger's syndrome and I overreacted because I wanted to feel as "normal" as possible. My brain is split into two camps: the part of myself that knows that you should seek professional help when you are in need, and the "awkward 13 year old" part of myself who wants to feel cool and socially competent.
