"theres no way you have panic disorder, ive never seen you have a panic attack"

my meds:

just because i havw panic disorder doesnt mean im a constant ball of panic, it just means i have erratic panic attacks at random 😭😭

finneass <33 True. People think if you have a disorder, they can outwardly tell. A mental disorder isnt always something you can physically witness.

Reminds me of when people say that about people with OCD. People think if you have OCD that you’re always tidying/cloroxing everything you touch

@Duchess bruh exactly. I’m diagnosed with OCD and I don’t be lookin at stuff sayin, “ohh let me clean that! If I don’t clean that I’m finna diee!” like bro it is not like that. and plus everyone has different symptoms. people be over exaggerating these mental disorders fr. I don’t really notice my OCD, i don’t know if that’s a bad thing or good thing tho.

@Duchess kinda applies to my adhd slightly, people think it’s fun and quirky to have adhd a lil
it kinda is but it also ruins my life
anyway, i do get asked when i tell people i have adhd to do shit that’s very sterotypical to my disorder

𝙗𝙤𝙮𝙠𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙧 FR someone on here (not naming who bc they are already getting backlash from me xoxo) thinks it’s okay to lie abt having adhd and doing everything I do from bringing in fidget toys and things to help me calm down and they thought it was funny to say that I was FAKING adhd bc they apparently “spoke” to my dad. Luv my dad don’t speak to minors unless it’s his kids or family friends. They think it’s all fun and games to say they go to a special needs clinic in my school bc of adhd. Uhm gurl know you are were supposed to be in there for 2 terms bc you were getting mad bullied. I asked her if she takes adhd medication of sort to help and so goes “no but I do need them but I refuse to take them because there’s no point in them” no person with adhd would say that. They think it’s fun they think it’s cute but it’s not they don’t know how hard it is to function with adhd half the time.

@Duchess yeah I hate it when people go “yeah I have ocd, so I’m always tidying my surroundings and stuff because I hate things being unorganized”

no that’s not how ocd works, I have ocd
if something is uneven (e.g. odd number for no reason) it peeves me
not if something is slightly dirty I have a stroke

that’s a clean freak, not a person with OCD

𝙗𝙤𝙮𝙠𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙧 “do something adhd” Okay that’s just rude. You’re not a circus show.

@A38 Yeah, it’s crazy how people think they’re the same thing lol
