Mental illness is not trendy or cool to have

Seems to be a lot of people online and in person who fake mental illnesses now and think it is some cool label to attach to themselves. Tik Tok is flooded with it and yeah when you actually have a real mental illness, It does not make you trendy or cool and there is really no positives to it.
It bothers me that people are so very desperate to attach labels on themselves that now this has become just as bad as those who fake it for financial gain or whatever else..

Also self diagnosing yourself isn't a actual diagnosis

Sometimes just having a name for what you’re going through is incredibly helpful. You can’t address what you can’t identify.

@summersong that is true but taking a quiz online or looking up symptoms online and assuming you have a certain disorder or illness just from that, isnt really helpful in the long run. Might make you feel better at the time but if you actually have a real issue, it wont help much at all especially if you are wrong
