I’m sure someone is going to get mad at me for this post but honestly I don’t care. 

I am so fed up. I’m so so SO sick of how mental health issues are portrayed on platforms like TikTok, instagram, twitter, etc. 

TikTok is a literal cesspool. It’s just tween girls in a constant cycle of diagnosing themselves with various ‘trendy’ mental illnesses/conditions. Anxiety, depression, OCD, ADD/ADHD, ASD &amp; now BPD. 

“I’m manic 🤪”

“when the intrusive thoughts win💀🤪🤪🤪‼️” 

Like, Becky, you’re 15. You’re not borderline. You’re just an angsty tween. 

No Emily. you’re not ‘’manic”. You ate too much sugar.

It seems to me that young girls want something so they can feel edgy. So they can feel different. And then say, “I think I have ______ !!!” Like, why do you want BPD? I want to throw myself into a wood chipper every single fucking day. Why do you DESIRE to feel like this? I want nothing more then to gain the guts to make a successful attempt. 

It’s so damaging for people like me. For people like US on this sub. 

Mental illness needs to be UNDERSTOOD. NOT NORMALIZED/ROMANTICIZED. There’s nothing quirky about a 70% suicide attempt rate.
