#actually cluster b

[autopsyfreak]

it’s insane to me that there are people who ‘want’ to have mental illnesses as if they’re some fun quirk to obtain.

if you actually think this is just a silly little label people have then you need to get the fuck away from me and pick up a book. you have no knowledge of mental illness. no knowledge of the damage it does or the way it impacts your relationships with others.

i hate this watered down idea of what mental illness is that is being pedalled by social media and the demonisation that comes with it when your mental health issues present in a way that doesn’t fit with this idea of who the ‘socially acceptable sick people’ are.

it hurts. it’s harrowing. it’s full of misery and suffering. it’s unforgiving. it’s cruel.

treating actual illnesses as a trend is fucking repulsive. this isn’t your free ticket to get views, some of us have to wake up each day and actually find a way to survive to see the next.

You cannot call yourself a mental health advocate if you use "narcissist" and "psychopath" as insults.

You cannot call yourself a mental health advocate if you dont take self-diagnosed people seriously.

You cannot call yourself a mental health advocate if you expect mentally ill people to mask around you.

You cannot call yourself a mental health advocate if you put paraphiles in your dni.

You cannot call yourself a mental health advocate if you laugh at people for showing symptoms of autism.

You cannot call yourself a mental health advocate if you diagnose anyone you dont like with personality disorders.

You cannot call yourself a mental health advocate if you treat ADHD and OCD like personality traits.

You cannot call yourself a mental health advocate if you demonize people who aren't in recovery/don't want to recover

Your a mental health advocate, or your not.

You cannot pick and choose what's worth advocating for.

mental health ‘advocates’: never be afraid to share your true thoughts and the struggles with them, it’s ok to be honest with yourself even if your thoughts sound mean! you are valid 💕

me, a person with NPD + ASPD: cool ok (shares my true thoughts and struggles with said thoughts)

mental health ‘advocates’: ew, why are you trying so hard to be edgy, do you think it makes you look cool? you just sound like my ex boyfriend who was a narcissistic sociopath 😒 cringe weirdo

[chronicallyqueercoining2]

"We need more mental health acceptance and awareness!" Y'all still call ppl with cluster b disorders evil 💀

"We need more weird people!" Y'all COMBUST when someone is xenic 💀

"Healthy coping mechanisms are important!" When someone age regresses, you call them creepy 😭

"More people need to be proud of who they are!" When you see a furry, you cry 😭

Shout out to folks with Narcissistic Personality Disorder!

so, i was looking thru plushie dreadfuls and i had some issues with the npd bunny. out of spite, i decided to design my own npd bunny!

symbolism: - crown to represent desire for superiority and praise - mask to represent false ego and, well, masking - mask is cracked to represent the false ego breaking, aka crashing, also represents that masking is very tiring - primarily green color palette to represent envy - large heart on the center to represent large ego and big emotions - gem motif to represent brilliance, uniqueness, and beauty - frills to spice things up, appear fancier, and make it more unique - green arrows pointing up towards the face to represent drawing attention to self

i wanted to represent npd in a more beautiful and less stigmatizing way. i hope you like it!

Unfortunately, I think stigmatised disorder (personality disorders, psychotic disorders, etc) culture is realising something you experience has a name and finally feeling seen, but you go to google it for more resources and only find people talking about how horrible and morally evil you are for daring to have that symptom you never chose in the first place.

more products of my chronic boredom.

edit: since so many of you are completely misconstruing the purpose of this meme, the reason why HPD isn’t mentioned on this post is because this is specifically talking about the personality disorders that i have been diagnosed with and the demonisation i’ve experienced.

[sin-esthezia]

the thing that gets me the most about ableism against pd’s is that ppl will be like “these disorders make you an ASSHOLE!!!!” and then turn around and pretend that other disorders can’t and don’t make you act shitty.

depression and anxiety can make you irritable and snappy. they can cause you to refuse to listen to people and to be distant and withdrawn. they can cause you to seem angry, bitchy, rude, uncaring, etc.

ptsd causes an array of difficulties in forming meaningful relationships. it pretty much shakes up your entire worldview and sense of self a lot of the time. ptsd can cause you to get angry often. it can cause you to yell and scream. it can cause you to withdraw from others, run away, or cut them out. it can cause general changes in demeanor and more cynical worldviews. it can make you seem grouchy, negative, explosive, impolite, difficult, needy, controlling, etc.

and yet when people with personality disorders have symptoms of that nature, suddenly we are irredeemable monsters. when it’s npd, bpd, hpd, or aspd instead of ptsd or depression and anxiety, people suddenly and magically lose the ability to be understanding.

mental illness is an explanation, not an excuse. i firmly believe that. hurting others is never justified simply because you have any disorder.

but if you can be patient with people who have depression, anxiety, ptsd, ocd, or any other LESS stigmatized mental illness, you can be patient with us.
