This is the truth.

[cut for length and idiocy]

1. Your fucking feelings are never important when the issue is right and wrong. Your feelings are seldom important outside of this echo chamber of a website for special snowflakes nursing their incurable Bleeding Twat’s Disorder. 

2. Odds are your self diagnosis will be wrong. Human beings (no you’re not a demisexual unicorn on wheels) are subject to this thing called confirmation bias. Where we tend to seek out information that confirms our initial suspicions. So your “feels” tell you that you have, what’s a trendy mental illness you people are putting on to make yourself feel speshul? Let’s say you think you’ve got PTSD, a horrible condition, everything you seek out seems to confirm your suspicions. What a wondrous thing, you’ve self diagnosed yourself and are now a 100% special dick head. 

3. OP is a retard and a bad person. He probably thinks I’m a worse person for using the “r-word”, y’know what’s worse than the “r-word”? Endangering people’s well-being with this childish new-age bullshit advice. If anyone ever tells you NOT to go to a doctor and trust your feels, then they don’t have your best interests at heart. OP has his silly SJW agenda in mind, not the health and well being of anyone. If you go to your doctor and he discriminates against you in any way, find another doctor. Any doctor worth their salt will tell you before you see a psychologist or psychiatrist that if you don’t like them it’s okay to change. You need to find one you can work with or the process is pointless. 

4. “Bt ppl can’t afrd it herp derp”. In America, hey, yeah that’s probably a possibility. But it’s not in Britain, Canada, Australia, most of the developed world, there are people from all over the world you are deceiving with your disinformation here OP. The thing is that’s not a relevant point. That’s a separate issue entirely. Not being able to afford a doctor because a shitty system has been built up around you…doesn’t make self diagnosis a good thing to do. 

5. Take your power dynamics and stick them so far up your ass they tickle your tonsils. This is irrelevant gibberish, you said literally nothing about. Of course there’s power dynamics in a doctor patient relationship, they know more than you, and you are a stupid special snowflake who knows literally three-parts of fuck all. That’s how it should be. If that makes you confortable, if that “triggers” you (nothing triggers you, you’re abusing that word) harden the fuck up and behave like and adult. 

6. So let’s say you do self-diagnose, like this fucking cunt-muscle suggests. Then what? You do fucking nothing because you have no idea how to treat a mental illness, no access to prescription medication which is an important tool in combating mental illness. Whatever’s wrong with you, and you don’t know because you aren’t a doctor and you don’t know shit about medical conditions, will get worse. Or maybe nothing’s wrong with you, likely the case for at least 51% of the people who self-diagnose on this site, you’re claiming a mental illness you don’t have to boost your own ego and sense of self. How sick are you people?

7. Some mental illnesses have similar symptoms. Not being trained AT ALL at identifying and distinguishing these symptoms you will make mistakes because you’re the sort of idiot who thinks self diagnosis is a fine thing to do in the first place. 

If you self diagnose you are an idiot and you deserve whatever flak you cop.
