so I was listening to music and got this message… at first I assumed that my boyfriend sent the wrong person a message asking for toilet paper, but when i got up to bring him some i saw his phone on the bed and realized
he left his phone in the room and only took his switch with him, so all he could do was desperately tweet an SOS
getting sad for someone after they come out as aromantic to you is shitty
It’s also like if someone came out to you as gay and you started crying bc they’ll never experience the epic highs and lows of heterosexuality or whatever
I feel like practicing any skill would be way more fun if I could have a lil level increase thing that pops up in front of me every time I do good like in Skyrim
Fun Fact: I have another tumblr account that I use now (different email), but it gets really overwhelming, and I come to this one when I want to escape it.
Do you support self-dx? (With proper research and consideration of course)
I do, actually! Within moderation, at least.
The thing is, without going forward and telling a doctor/professional about the things you’ve been experiencing under the notion of “I think I have this”, a lot less people would get diagnosed.
For example, say you thought you had ADHD. After researching a ton about the symptoms and experiences of others who were diagnosed ADHD, everything just felt too familiar to not be what’s going on. So you go to a professional, tell them everything you’ve been thinking, and they end up diagnosing you!
Without partially self diagnosing, there’s a chance that you might’ve never went in the first place.
That’s a big problem for me when it comes to mental health, actually. It’s like an implied phrase of “Unless you’re diagnosed, you don’t have [insert problem here]”. Which of course is possible, but never 100% true, and is really harmful in terms of going to actually get help.
One thing though, I do believe you should say it’s self-diagnosed, if it is. Because it implies that while there’s a chance that you don’t have said thing, you still have/relate to enough of the symptoms to be considered on the spectrum.
(I rambled a lot in this one, so I hope it makes sense kzndjs!)
