ngl, self-diagnoses doesn't harm anyone.
"They're taking away resources from actually autistic people!"
where. proof for that. Also, most resources that non-diagnosed autistic ppl can get are just DIY remedies(headphones, sensory toys, ect), how is that taking away from your remedies.
i think instead of saying "no you cant self-diagnose or can only under specific circumstances", we should be sharing resources to help people who are questioning if they really have a condition or not
if you want ppl to stop incorrectly thinking they have autism, maybe we can just make content where we talk abt what autism actually entails and what is/isn't an autistic trait.
instead of saying all self-diagnosers are faking on purpose
Information is the best killer of misinformation actually if you didn't know

It's quarter to 7 in the evening. I've been having a terrible day with anxiety. This morning upon getting into work i had this ball of despair just lodge itself in the pit of my stomach. Lodging itself there slowly filtering in all the anxiety inducing bullshit that triggers. Which I still DON'T FUCKING KNOWS WHAT TRIGGERS THESE ATTACKS >_<
So I've been having a full blown panic attack since 4:00PM - It's quarter to 7 and It's still there. Lingering on. Letting me know I have no control over my body and how it reacts.
It's hard not having someone to really talk to about this. Someone who genuinely understands PTSD, Panic Disorders, and Anxiety disorders all rolled into one. My psychiatrist just seems to want to up the dosage of my pills. Which aren't helping in the first place. I'm tired of pills. I want solutions. I want to be fixed. I just want some sort of normalcy back to my life.
Feeling alone.
Isolated.
Just empty.
AND WHAT IS THIS BULLSHIT of when I'm finally coming down from a panic attack my body goes into full blown shivers. I'm freezing. Teeth are chattering. I feel so weak and yet so incredibly weighed down by some unseen force.
It's bad enough to feel like things are crawling under your skin. It's bad enough to lose control of my motor functions when going through an attack. I feel like failure. I feel like I'm failing, not only myself, but those I love.
I just want to go back to who I once was.
Happy and healthy.

being in therapy as a psychology student is soooo funny sometimes i'll just be like "i just dont think xyz thing is happening like it just seems far-fetched that that could happen" and my therapist is like "have you not talked about xyz thing happening to people in class" and ill have to be like "......yes" and shell be like "victoria you're people"

UPs and Downs
Life is a series of ups and downs.If you’ve ever tried to stand in the center of a teeter totter you will know that there is a spot where you can find balance, and as it rocks back and forth you remain stable. You flow with the back-and-forth motion without falling down. You learn to anticipate the highs and lows and counterbalance yourself. We’re finding that life is just like that, it’s a…

Things are bad with my mental health so I am planning a massive project that will take every spare bit of free time for the foreseeable future (possibly more than a year). It's a way to keep myself in check and feeling like I am possibly accomplishing something. Hopefully I'll end up with something cool to show for it, but more than likely it'll be a massive library/repository that no one but me is interested in. Even so... self-therapy ftw!

I feel myself slipping back into what I work so hard to run from: fueled by self hatred, riddled with doubt, and feeling like I’m not enough for anyone/anything.
Wanting to do better, be better, and love myself but am constantly drawn back into who I’ve always been.
Why am I like this? Why do I want to hurt? Why am I not enough? Why am I so awful? Why is my effort never paying off? Why can’t I love me the way I love others?
Why am I never enough for myself?
It’s so damn hard to fight this battle all of the time with the little hope that I am granted.
Why can’t I just be happy? Be alive. Love. Try. Push past all of this weight/darkness I don’t even want to carry. I wish I could shed it all and start fresh. Would I be any different, or would I have been just the same?
I don’t want to be like this anymore.

can’t deal with the fact people glorify anxiety,,, like yes the disorder that literally keeps me from normal functioning and is detrimental to my physical and mental health is so cutesy and so easy to live with and I can totally sleep at night and I don’t get massively painful ulcer flare-ups when I’m stressed (it is literally debilitating) panic attacks are quirky! /s
I don’t have repetitive thought cycles that make me constantly worry and exhaust me throughout the day from a whole other disorder that’s exasperated by my anxiety! It’s so pleasant in both of these ways! I love when people think me flapping my hands is so cutesy when it’s totally not a sign of distress for the most part /SARCASM
I have no clue why anyone would want to fake something I am so desperate to get rid of. Like this is not fun — especially when so many people close to me in my life atm have this strong image of me that I hate living up to.
Though I will say that most likely, even people who fake disorders do have something bad going on and is symptomatic of broader issues (there’s literally a term for this, I forgot) — so I’m not going to go haywire at confused and hurting children. Though their actions are ignorant and can romanticise what living with these things is actually like and diminish other people’s struggles — I’m fairly sure they’re too young and confused to properly process that and I doubt it’s malicious the majority of the time. You’re just going to further push them into boxes by harassing them.

Finding out I have OCD makes sense. But come on, man, I didn’t ask for this. I’m a busy guy, I got shit to do
