Wow this was awesome, I suffer from insomnia, minor anxiety, and OCD, all this was too true of my everyday life. I loved it!

I want to thanks one more time. Pictures are the best representation of mental disorders, and it is very important due to most people's opinion that, e.g. bipolar disorder is just the change of mood, OCD is about checking front door and so on.

My demon says "You're not good enough"

Aight so imma vent so u can just ignore this. I have depression, and ADHD. My brother had autism and my other brother has dyslexia. I have to help them with everything for school and stuff and it really sucks the life out of me. I love them and I understand that they need help with somethings. I also understand why my mother would want me to do it for her. But sometimes I just can’t do it and I get so mad at her And then I breakdown and cry but I don’t want her to know because I don’t want her to have to work harder than she does. And my dad is hardly ever home so he can’t help with any of it.

I’m seriously about to cry in front of my siblings, these are so true and it scares me that I relate to these. I haven’t had any actual diagnosis but I’m going to therapy again and I hope I can get better or get help. God, this hits my heart.

This is an honest question and is not meant to diminish what people are going through. Why do these disorders occur most often in the developed world as opposed to many third-world countries where the poverty rate is much higher?

Fuuuuk I have all except ADHD, bpd and addiction

There's an extent to which these conditions are real but also particular cases where they are self fulfilling or at least self-reinforcing diagnoses. If we tell a kid again and again: 'you have ADHD, you can't pay attention to anything,' of course they believe it about themselves and the very communication of the idea to the person significantly reinforces it. You know who has ADHD? On some level every child and adolescent and most of the adults who have ever existed have f***ing 'ADHD', on some level almost no one likes paying attention to fairly dry things that must be done or endured, e.g. lessons in math, or doing one's taxes. This is why most of us dislike accounting and other STEM areas. But as for the particularly bad cases of 'ADHD', the cases where some child is extremely out of control in a classroom, gee, could it be that 1. not having a father in their house, 2. and/or not having a parent who really holds them accountable, 3. the constant screen-time, 4. a total lack of outdoor time, 5. tons of junk food in modern kids diets, and 6. modern Western culture's disdain for any Eastern or Old World mindfulness practices, all might have something to do with why we're now told that 40% of boys have that 'disease'?
