Fixing my self diagnosed "mild depression", "social anxiety", and "ADHD"

Reply in thread

You keep saying shit like “uninformed speculation” and you don’t think you have “TRUE” ADHD but still spouting your theories about “fixing” shit that can’t be fixed guy…. In a forum FOR people WITH ADHD. ADHD is a disability. I have been diagnosed “officially” but I’ve seen the effects being undiagnosed on people has and don’t begrudge anyone a self diagnosis if they’ve self educated. It doesn’t seem you have. You’re invalidating and mocking people with a recognized disability. Stop.

Exactly - I don’t know what you have- YOU’RE the one who said you don’t think you have “true” ADHD and used the air quotes… again, in a community specifically for ADHD. That is invalidating to everyone with ADHD who reads it in a society that doubts the existence of our disability altogether.

I’m telling YOU that YOUR posts give off BIG “hey you don’t have ADHD, you just aren’t fixing yourself right” energy. That’s not me gatekeeping - that me advocating against ableism. That attitude kills people. This is me educating you. And if you can’t understand that or at least respect the impact your attitudes & theories might have on a vulnerable community, I guess I’d have to ask - why are you HERE? Because it’s not to help, if that’s the case.

too many are simply with the belief that no god exists and that faithful people cannot be right and that what their doing is wrong.

That’s not hateful or intolerant. Hateful and intolerant isn’t disagreeing with you or even vocalizing a belief that you’re wrong. It’s certainly not voicing that a religion is harming others (I.e. wrong).

Who Is Most Responsible For Divisions In The U.S.?

The “answers provided by the quiz” just serves to allow for the demonization of critical, democratic entities/institutions with no regard for nuance or root cause.
Unchecked capitalistic exploitation ≠ politicians
Information manipulation and exploitation ≠ media

Media (& social media) & politicians are not inherently bad. “An incantation some people mutter to conjure broad, bland, completely unspecific justice” indeed.
