#like. its disordered and here are the ways its disordered

[grubloved]

its crazy to have been working in food here so long and specifically having been a food cashier a lot and watching couple after couple come up and the man orders a normal amount of food and the woman orders like Nothing. i think at least two of my woman coworkers at the bakery have eating disorders. i had a group of four older women come in and order a single (1) tiny pastry to split between all of them because they were being "bad". today a lady tipped me $3 and said "it's because i have to pay off all these sins somehow!", gesturing at her Two savory pastries. one of my coworkers who definitely has an eating disorder and has been talking about how she can't stop losing weight and her doctor is worried told me that a protein bar with 190 calories was "oh, WAY too many. nuh uh," and looked at me sideways. girl you are literally sloughing off the bone. everybody's so excited about ozempic. sitting at the dinner table with lavender's baby sisters listening to them talk about how they ate one burrito and they're gonna get fatttttt. i drive past 14 fat removal plastic surgery billboards a day. none of these women are ok nobody wants flesh nobody wants to eat everybody wants to be bloodless and pale and sharp and gleaming and it's so weird and scary

[toyhou-se-drama]

i hate "alterhumans", "otherkin", kinners and select self shippers

i am tired of seeing people with no logical thinking skills on toyhouse parading that they're different when they're in fact just illogical

sure you can say you relate to a character, i'll even say i can relate to some, but you are not that character yourself and you are not dating another fictional character

i dont even understand why that bullshit is normalized

its a fictional character, they are not in love with you, they dont even exist, this is not a possible thing that can happen

you are not "literally" spongebob, you are not dating courage the cowardly dog, you are not A dog, you are not a horse, etc etc

and no i dont care if you're attracted to a fictional man on a dating game. hell yeah i am too, there are some characters that are just "hot" or "cute" to me. My tolerance stops when you're genuinely convinced they're real and they love you. i promise you you're not married to goku and he'd be more likely to kill you than even give you a friendly "hi"

this is not a type of mental issue or mental illness that should be or needs to be something you're proud of/dont do anything about, like an identity disorder. Be proud of yourself for having it harder and still thriving. But we are not doing this. WE are NOT normalizing people that do this. This needs therapy. Intensive therapy.

And you know what? age/pet regressors are catching strays here too. Forget the "its mostly pedos anyway" argument, you cant regress in age. You get older, and you'll never get younger. Cope with it. Blow bubbles and play in a field but in no way are you actually a 12 year old in a 45 year old mans body. And no, you cannot regress into a baby dog/cat either. What the fuck even? bro.

Jobs bro, jobs.

Ragebait used to be believable.

i dont think they do, this whole paper is actually kind of fascinatingly bad and i was in the process of reading through it to see if the authors ever justify a bunch of their upfront demands, when i got to the passage about Mme. de Dampier and thought it was funny enough to post because of the pig anecdote.

so the paper was written in 2005,

but as someone who was not a kid already in 2005 i can tell you that the paper would have been considered medically regressive by most people even at the time. their thesis is that Tourette's, ADHD, ADD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, OCD and maybe one other im forgetting (i'll go back and take another look at the paper later but im not sure it's going to be interesting or useful so i might not) are so comorbid with each other (they claim 95% of their sample of 100 patients at a specialty clinic had 2 or more of these diagnoses and almost none of them had just one) that all of the diagnoses should be "downgraded [from discrete diagnoses] to symptoms of syndromes of developmental delay", and those are the words they use.

now i can tell you having been diagnosed with ADD prior to 2005 and having read the books about ADD (as it used to be called, ADHD was considered a subtype) that were written in the actual 90s, ADD was not considered by most researchers or prevailing public opinion to be a "delayed development disorder" in the way they mean it here, and OCD certainly wasn't. i wasnt diagnosed with the others but im pretty sure almost no one thought that about them either. we were already into the "kids with ADD are often'smarter'than everyone else despite symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity" territory by then, i never met any pediatrician or psychiatrist when i was a kid who didnt already think ADHD was the "troubled underachieving smart kid" disease. the medical mystery at the time was why these kids who were so obviously performing brilliantly a lot of the time, and testing way "smarter" than everyone else in IQ (i know IQ is bullshit) and a lot of other measures, were making terrible grades, failing out of school, had substance use disorders and higher rates of delinquency etc. im sure those doctors existed but it wasnt the mainstream concept at all, in my experience.

so i just stumbled on this paper by accident while looking for something else and spotted the same thing you did, which is that these guys are framing this whole list of disorders as 1. not separate disorders and 2. part of a general syndrome of "retardation' basically, although even at that decade people thought that word was not medically acceptable. but retarded is what they mean

anyway i havent finished reading the paper and i might not, but its called Comorbidity of dyslexia, dyspraxia, attention deficit disorder (ADD), attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and Tourette’s syndrome in children: A prospective epidemiological study and i th ohhhhh i just figured out the problem. this thing was published in a "medical journal" called "Clinical Chiropractic". see this is why we're always telling you never to go to a chiropractor. those bitches are out of their minds

so yeah they very much did mean it how it sounds! and i was reading to see if they ever have an argument as to why that is. because even to most laymen, generally these disorders have not looked like a "developmental delay", they look like someone is of normal or usually above-average "intelligence" and usually ahead of their childhood developmental milestones, and then mysteriously ALSO either just having a weird tic problem, mysterious trouble reading, inattentive traits, odd compulsions, etc. sure the other kids and the stupider adults called you a 'retard" a lot if you had any of these symptoms of any of these diagnoses, but they werent being considered or treated as such clinically in a widespread way. in my experience anyway. there are always some bad doctors around but mostly the bad doctors would tell you ADHD was fake and you were obviously smart you were just lazy and you just needed to try harder etc, not that you had a developmental disability. that wasnt really on the table in mainstream practice.

so in conclusion fuck chiropractors, never go to a chiropractor for any reason (idk what chiropractors in general think about these disorders i am just adding this to the pile of evidence against them because they do plenty of other damage)

its crazy that people think having multiple personality disorders makes you more dangerous or fucked up bc like, the more abuse and trauma you suffer as a child, the more symptoms of PDs you will check off bc your behavior becomes so disordered in order to survive. having more than one PD (having several PDs) is common among childhood abuse survivors. PD comorbidity is crazy high and, ultimately, PDs are a way of categorizing symptoms for diagnostics and treatment.

it has nothing to do with your character, your worth as a human being, and your ability to heal. you adapted to survive your abuse. you can adapt to survive life after it.

these are, he says, the kind of test results we see after a car crash.

Your silent protagonist doesn't have to use sign language btw. They don't have to write things down, either. They don't have to use language at all. Not every single person who doesn't talk can use words the same as you, or use them at all, so your favorite silent character shouldn't have to use what you consider a grammatical language to communicate in your fanart and fics. AAC exists. Drawing exists. Gestures and body language exist. Btw.

yes im specifically targeting people WITH and WITHOUT my specific disorders, because I've always been curious about this.

SPD: sensory processing disorder

ASD: autism spectrum disorder

If i re wrote red hood outlaws + arsenal n red would you want to see snippets of that or would you roast me on a pike?

[nabaath-areng]

the problem with my n24 is that with the clock going around gradually i have periods of being awake at day and periods of being awake at night, but then because i tend to sleep really badly during night time i spend my daytime days being very tired and sluggish, and my nighttime days are much more productive and energetic. but i cant do just anything i want at night, so i cant get as much done as i have the energy and drive to. and then i also need sunlight to feel sane in the head, and so i hate missing out on daytime wakefulness. but then the sun is also why my sleep quality is much better during daytime. if im gonna stuck with a seemingly incurable sleep disorder since birth cant i at LEAST have the sleep be overall consistent? apparently not lmao

Telling non-introject alters about characters from your source can be SO funny when you realize theyre Bascially The Same Person

[is-that-plural]

OK HERES ANOTHER ONE FOR YA:;

MARTYN / MRATYN NIBBLEWOOD FROM RATSSMP!!

This is largely just a hc that I have, but he has different "personas" he'll put on, changing and making whole different skins and mostly just NOT explaining it to make sense in-universe. He has his Santa Claus persona, which. is Santa Claus- and a Hatsune Miku persona called Ratsune Miku! While the Santa one can largely be explained away as him "dressing up for the holidays and trying to spread cheer", this one is NOT explained. They all act like she's a separate person from him completely and never allude to the fact that they might be the same person. Martyn himself even uses she/her pronouns for Ratsune Miku! (She has A WHOLE SONG. ITS AMAZING. She sings it WITH Santa Claus but of course we NEVER see them in the same room bc they DEFINITELY ARENT plural or anything) He has smaller little personas, but none are as major as these two :)).

Rating: that sounds pretty plural to me !

[astergore]

doing a lot of research into cluster b personality disorders and npd has kind of described everything i've been experiencing for years and it. answers. so many questions . a bit scared of trying to get a professional opinion (for obvious reasons) does anyone have any good resources I could look into?
