As someone with tics myself, I can say that these tiktokers are a false representation of those who actually HAVE mental disabilities, and shouldn't be acknowledged at all
Fun fact: Tourette's will not be triggered when your mind is focusing heavily on something, like how people with severe tourette's can sing with ease due to this. That's why people with real tourette's often don't display it in short clips, as they are focusing on recording.
Oh, that's cool to know! :0 I don't have tourettes, but I do encounter some tics every once in a while! It's usually when I'm relaxed and just scrolling on my phone. I do have this weird thing though- Often when I write something (especially in school) I start going like this "😗" and blowing air out of my mouth. I don't think it's a tic but it's quite strange, I developed it last year after a really hard test lmao
Yeah and ive heard people like billie eilish speak on her tourettes, and by the looks of it, its not as severe as ive seen and it seems to go away as shes singing and stuff like that
Why can't they just put their... creativity to create "alters" into stories/comics/characters and NOT faking a real serious disorder? That would be so much productive, god I'm losing braincells
The fact is DID is super rare and at most some scientists can’t even confirm it’s actually real, DID affects mostly older people(40 somewhere around there) than teenager’s.
I know I'm late, but I just want to write my own speculation here. I think it's probably because they want to be like those "alters". They want to be an edgy, badass, demon with superpowers and also be some wholesome, uwu femboy, but they can't because they can only be one/have one personality ( it's by being true to themselves and not pretending to someone/something else ), maybe it's also because they can't become like someone they admire the most ( which explains why there are dream "alters" ). That might be the reason why they fake DID, it was to become like those "alters", it was to fulfill their own fantasies and to pretend to be someone they aren't/someone they admire. This is just my speculation, I'm not sure if this is what they truly want, and sorry for my bad english.
I've had problems with paralysis and involuntary muscles twitches/spasms and yeah it's so obvious and annoyingly voluntary and over the top when they do it, it's not even close to realistic...
I never knew when it was happening to me but my poor son said it was like I became a demon. When I dissociated, I didn't act like a different "alter". They were all me, just dissociated and seemed to be seperate emotional states. Sometimes I would end up in hospital after hurting myself. For me it was just like blacking out, I didn't even know I was blacking out for years. My therapist said it was a defence mechanism. When I did become aware of it, it was like constantly waking up like I wa drunk before. It was the most terrifying experience I've ever had. I did get treatment and after a couple of years in said treatment, I no longer dissociate. I did relapse not long after treatment and it took me about a year to get back to normal again. Now I watch my stress levels because I'm scared of dissociating. I stay inside my house to avoid stress. It's not something that is like in the movies and it's not like these kids on tiktok portray. My son had to go to therapy for a while and I'm glad he did. I'm completely ashamed of what he had to go through while I was that unwell. He does sometimes bring it up and although it makes me feel uncomfortable because I guess there is still a defence mechanism like I want to pretend it never existed. I talk about it because I want him to deal with it now rather than carrying it with him through his adult life
the thing is, they are actually so lucky that they are born with no disabilities of some sort. they are healthy and well. not saying it's bad to have a disability (unless it severely affects you). people who have autism or ADHD etc. do not have a easy life.
As a person with ADHD and Autism, this really does happen to me. Once, someone got banned from a game entirely for treating me like a punch bag of insults because of my ADHD.
@@eMPSynth this is why im scared to open up to people about my (nearly crippling at this point) mental disorders lol. sorry that happened dude. stay strong
@@maretwoo thing is they say that "real people with (insert disorder) would hide it not show it at first glance lol" Im lucky to not have any disorders but my friends have some and they made their friends aware that they had these specific disorders and then they got shamed ( a few of them didnt get shamed but most )
@@ohitscryo hopefully, there isn’t a future for my generation:D there’s 5 asteroids bigger than Big Ben boutta hurtle near Earth. They might take a quick lil jog on over to our planet for fun and kill us all
I am a licensed marriage, family therapist, and I find it highly agitating that people think it’s trendy to fake mental health issues. Having any sort of disassociative state comes from extensive trauma and you don’t see demons and mystical creatures as alters. Additionally, disassociative identity disorder is very rare to have in its full capacity. having other issues such as Tourette’s can be very difficult for a person. These things make a mockery out of those who really have them. I personally struggle with anxiety and it has taken me a very long time different therapies to really get under control. If these people truly had these disorders, they would cry because of how debilitating they can be.
“My therapist doesn’t think I have DID” Yeah, I wonder why. It’s not like they went to school for years and years, and are trained in identifying and treating disorders /s I’m autistic and I’m so over kids faking autism and other disabilities. They’re why we (those of us who are actually disabled) never get taken seriously.
I don't have any disability, but seeing people who has those things getting called faking or having to show proof of a disorder because some fucked up people made it a "cool trend" is so sad
But also consider that did is very hard to get diagnosed for since it can be mistaken for many other mental illnesses so that is also a possibility ( not defending them btw )
Oh yeah, psychiatrists are god ! As someone with a lot of diagnosis ( made by really real psychiatrists, calm down you can like me ) they are far to be perfect, they can be really violent ( one of my psychiatrists made my depression worst ) and their diagnostic can be influenced by racism, sexism, grossophobia, transphobia etc ... So the : they've been in school is kind of fun and really far from reality
I also have autism, although being on the mild end of the spectrum. It is definitely very frustrating to see such a trend blow up. I was born with part of a left arm. This makes me a congenital amputee, I wonder how the people are going to pull that off for a Tik Tok. Anyways have a nice day anyone whos reading the comments
This actually makes me really sad, my brother has severe ADHD and he struggles so much at school, in public etc. For someone to fake what he has had to deal with is horrible.
Yep, my 7 year old has it. He struggles so much in school. He literally needs medication to be able to function and learn. If I could take it away from him, I would in a heart beat
One of my best friends has adhd and she's quite smart, but she has trouble in class so we aren't even in the same classes anymore, I cant really get why someone would want to fake adhd when I can see how much my friend is getting frustrated. T-T
You can tell Green Hair Girl is lying so easily. The giveaway for me is that her voice stays at the same volume the whole time. When she's having her "tics" she's clearly trying to be quiet so nobody (her parents, probably) hears her. With actual tics, you can't control how much noise you make.
I saw a tiktok she made where she was walking in a store, and suddenly all her motor tics disappeared and she was only doing oral tics. The oral tics weren’t even loud enough for basically everyone in the store to hear
@@core9294 Imagine her parents actually are so disappointed that they reveal their daughter is faking smth for fame. Just shows again that it's not always the parents that ruin children...
I heard that she moved out of the house and doesn't want to socialize with her family members (can't imagine why) so she can record these stupid videos
I know someone with D.I.D. caused by some serious childhood trauma. It is a RARE psychological disorder, they are 1 of 4 people in our city that has been diagnosed with it. They also keep it private information, and only told those closest to them about it. People pretending to have a disorder that is so traumatic make me sick!!!
as someone who encounters panic attacks, these genuinely pisses me off, the countless times i have been rushed to the hospital and almost dying due to very low oxygen and hearing my parents just begging me to calm down and hearing them pray that i make it to the hospital before anything gets even worse, makes me feel really mad that these people fake things that genuinely can kill you in no time if no one goes out to help.
I think that the worst thing about them faking it is misinformation spreading, and that people will continue to do it because they'll get attention whether its good or bad
as someone who has a lot of health issues and some mental health issues this SERIOUSLY SERIOUSLY makes me wanna just slap them thru the fucking computer screen. so glad I uninstalled tiktok after the second week it came out
I knew this one girl who fed off of attention and self diagnosed herself with Depression, Bipolar, Anxiety, ADHD, and DID. She would constantly talk about them all the time. She would also describe her "DID alters" as if they were OC's or something. It's so stupid how people will fake severe disorders just for attention.
Bro it has come to the point where you would be more original, unique and quirky doing something normal than doing most of the retarded things Gen Z white teenagers are doing to be original, unique and quirky.
@@MaddieMushroom126 really understandable. Like they don’t even fake it good😭. They think ADHD is like the stereotype of it, but it so much different. I’m sorry you need to go through all that. Stay strong !😊
Same. I love how they don’t put how us with ADHD have difficulty with regulating emotions like we can’t get too emotional because our emotions is always 100% and never 50%. Like I can’t we get too excited or else I feel the need to run or scream.
@@narararamammily5386As a person diagnosed with ADHD you sound like you have ADD. There’s a difference. I don’t feel the need to run around and scream, I feel emotions exactly like everyone else.
The worst part about this is, it's making getting diagnosed for certain mental illnesses that are *actually* impairing your ability to function a *lot* harder. I need to get tested for quite a few things that are and have been effing up my ability to do basic tasks, like remembering to eat, being able to go out in public spaces without "special items", and being able to tell when someone has malicious intent towards me, to name a few. When I tried to get an appointment, the people working at my local psychological facilities weren't able to book me anything less than 13 months from the day I called due to a "sudden, overwhelming amount of adolescents and young adults" seeking diagnoses. While I am all for the self-discovery the pandemic led many of us to, and I am very glad for the people whose suspicions were correct and were able to get treatment, this online "trend" of being neurodivergent and mentally ill is affecting people in real life. These children gotta stop.
Agreed. This is what happens tho when people let social media babysit their kids stupid and harmful trends like this. Just once I’d like to get an appointment in for depression, which I guess is ‘out of style’ now 🤦♀️. I just want medications…. It’s hard living like this. These kids have no clue. My best friend even possibly in this trend…
I'm so lucky I was diagnosed when I was 4-5 and my parents made sure I had the medication and resources I needed at a young age. I can't imagine having to navigate getting appointments, and getting meds let alone seeking a diagnoses with the uprising of cases. It also makes it harder to see who has an actual disorder that needs medicated treatment and such, and who just needs therapy...
I wish I would’ve gotten diagnosed with whatever it is I have while I was still in school. I literally had to drop out of college because of online learning (I can’t learn that way) and my inability to actually do the work. I lost about 2k of my savings and my family won’t stop pestering me about going back to college
as someone who genuinely has ADHD, tics, and severe anxiety, enough is enough. It's not "cool" to fake mental disorders just for a little pity party. Having these disorders isn't even fun, and in the case of my tics, it can actually be pretty painful. Faking these disorders needs to stop.
exactly like why would you want something like that?? its not fun or quirky at all??? i just dont get it like bro, autism and adhd are not fun or quirky and not an aesthetic.
I have a really bad neck tick and it HURTS and it’s so annoying and even tho I’ve only had it for 2 years and I have not been diagnosed with anxiety but it is really bad.
I’m genuinely so embarrassed to be a part of this generation. Like no joke, it breaks my heart that many adults think that all kids are that disappointing.
I’m someone with crippling anxiety that was actually diagnosed by a medical professional. I can personally attest that people like me are indeed able to sit still without freaking out
Excatly. Sometimes I've personally found I can't move out of my seat. For instance when I first started my anxiety and anti depression medication I didn't get a medication discount on my Medicare card and my dad said "just go in and they'll fix it for you" but i couldn't move. I had so many things going through my head like they'll laugh at me or become annoyed they have to fix it up, I don't want to embarrass myself and waste their time. My dad had to go in for me and fix it up. I'm 27 and still ask my dad to wait outside public toliets for me and walk around with me while I shop because I can't do it alone.
I think people confuse having anxiety over a situation vs DIAGNOSED ANXIETY. They’re two completely different things and it’s irritating that people jump to conclusion. I also have anxiety and depression diagnosed by 2 separate medical professionals. And yeah I also don’t just randomly fidget or move around like that. They’re using like the most cliche symptoms to gain attentions.
@Amber I know EXACTLY how that feels. My anxiety is one of the reasons that I’m scared to move out from my parents’ house. I can go to stores and stuff by myself, but thinking about living on my own causes me to think of every worst case scenario possible. Even now just thinking about it makes me nervous. People faking it don’t know that it’s actually causing people to not live full lives or be independent due to the rabbit hole they go down, not to mention that it feels like your chest is caving in on itself when it gets really bad. You don’t just twitch around and shit when you have an anxiety disorder. Most of the time when an anxiety attack happens, I want to curl up, close my eyes, and pretend I’m somewhere else away from what’s causing it. And when I do that, I’m still as a rock
@Kenzie Welch Seriously. It’s like they want it to be more ‘interesting’ or something so that they can get clout. There’s so many things that I’ve been actually diagnosed with by professionals and these guys are making it so that others instantly assume people who actually have certain disorders are faking it. It’s not cute and actually having these things make life miserable rather than make you ‘kwerky and interesting’.
I heard from someone that the easiest way to tell someone is lying about any “disorder” is they laugh/giggle/smile during the video because they think what they’re doing is so uwu quirky that they can’t keep a straight face.
Thank you 🙏 people who fake disorders tend to laugh at everything that's not that very funny. I feel so bad for the people actually have these disorders
I mean like in tourettes if its not physical they can laugh if its just something that they find is funny that they did but other disorders I'm not too sure
True, but many people laugh out of nervousness or habit. But you can usually tell the difference between a habit laugh and a “I’m so cute and quirky” laugh.
As someone with a friend who literally has DID, it's so painful to watch some tiktok girls at school find out they have it and ask them "omg can you switch your alts for a video haha its so quirky 🤪" while they need therapy and are actively TRYING TO GET RID OF THEM
Dude that's literally disgusting. I hope your friend is okay and gets through this. I can't believe there are actually people out there who think that mental illness is "quirky" or "fun". Thank you for looking out for your friend, you seem like a great person. We need more people like you who actually care!
@@kaelanhunt8960 It's complicated My partner has DID and he has a few distinct alters that he can't really control They basically front (have control the body) at random and most of the time out of their control And they can't remember a thing about the alters fronting Except for a few like Deuce for example (developed as a guardian for them and the others)
Mental disorders aren’t something fun and quirky, they can be painful and often a living hell. As someone with both ADHD and extreme anxiety/paranoia, even being medicated is a huge issue. If I take Adderall I have a high chance of having an anxiety or panic attack at any time of the day, which is embarrassing in itself. But if I don’t medicate, I can’t pay attention and it becomes infinitely more difficult to pay attention in school, so I fall behind. It sucks that people treat all these disorders like personality traits when so many people genuinely suffer from them.
Definetely, my mother is the worst at this. She actually said that ADHD is just a personality trait and shouldn't be treated with watever they need because we shouldn't make normal things disorders.
Luckily I don't have severe adhd (I do have it though because of my dad's genetics). I do have pretty bad anxiety though. I would get anxiety attacks at school often but I've found ways to cope with them. They are so scary though when they happen, and people take it as a joke because of the people faking them to be quirky. I really wish I wasn't part of this generation.
@@drillbitz2816 someone at my school faked a seizure and pretends to have asthma. When she goes to the nurse she's just walking around in there while the nurse is annoyed trying to get her to go back to class
I have severe anxiety it was so bad whereas I almost killed myself, the only reason I didn't was I was scared I would break my stealing fan by hanging myself even though I weighed 60 lb at the time. I've been taking meds now, they help alot medicine is the most important part of this society. And it just infuriates me to see these people basically mock us it's horrible
As someone who've had cancer, had the surgery, had the chemotherapy; Experienced that entire ordeal. Why fake it? Why glamorize those conditions? They aren't cute or fashionable. Cancer is painful.
Plain and simple: their life is boring and they want something special to get attention any way possible. Without any talents or natural charisma (with which you get people to like you) there are two ways: get people to hate you and get people to feel bad for you. One type of those useless attention seekers become trolls, the other base their whole internet persona about being a victim. That being a victim is usually in the shape of an illness like cancer, depression or autism or in the shape of societal repression like the people who base their whole internet personality on a sexuality no one ever heard of like Zygosexual (that's real btw) Also as someone who's both bisexual and *diagnosed* as depressed i absolutely hate those people since they deligitimize most actual problems people who have those problems (illness or intolerant society) face as well as constantly use "phobia" (ok, it's "being ableist" not "diablephobia" but same shit) as a defense when people call them out, like seriously how is a guy that slept with gay men homophobic for saying a rape fetish isn't a sexuality?
I'm finishing with my cancer, I didn't had rays(?) Or a surgery for that, but the chemotherapy is a little bit upsetting, I have 8 more to go and be finally free, and I SWEAR TO GOD if I see one more person faking having a bad health I'm going to cry (I'm a spanish person, sorry for the bad english)
As someone who has autism, adhd and overwhelming anxiety that I need to take pills, people like this are disgusting. Because of this, my friend's mum thinks I'm faking it
When I was a kid I used to have this extremely annoying tic where I would hum every few seconds. Constantly. It went on for years. It was so embarassing and I had friends comment on it but it felt like an itch that I simply had to scratch. Eventually I forced myself to stop. Not tourettes, but just a weird compulsive behavior that I inherited from my dad. I can only imagine how awful it is to have tourttes where that is just your state of being. The lengths people will go to for social media attention is...unreal.
I totally get that! I don’t have Tourette’s, but my medicine caused my to have a really bad arm tic. Basically, I would stick my elbow out repeatedly. It got to the point where I physically couldn’t control it, and I would have to hold down my arm in crowded areas so I didn’t elbow people. Luckily, it mostly went away after I stopped taking the meds, but it was terrifying not to be in control of my body. The amount of disrespect to fake this is unreal
Anyone faking tourettes deserves to be made fun of and you have my blessing to do so. It has made my life a nightmare far past the age I was told it was supposed to taper off. If my wife wasn't in my life to help keep me grounded, I would just collapse into a weird ass ball of non-functional psychosis
I’ve recently seen people faking disorders like adhd, depression, tics, etc. and it kind of makes me doubt myself too. I’m professionally diagnosed with some things (I don’t want to be public), and seeing shit like this- I start thinking people see me like those people. It’s just so infuriating and invalidating to the people who are actually suffering on a daily basis.
I actually have autism, and I genuinely don't get why anyone would want to pretend to have it. Life is hard when you're autistic, why anyone would think it's a quirky little personality trait is beyond me
Autism sucks. I've had to accept the fact that I may never be a 100% independant adult, and that I may never be able to have children, because it wont be fair on them, if I can even barely care for myself at times.
Autism I have as well as many others including Tourette’s, And I didn’t get fully diagnosed with autism until last year! I’ve been living with autism for 13 years! AND ONLY LAST YEAR was I finally diagnosed! So I NEVER got the help I needed through primary school, and everyone made up there mind about me as soon as they met and got to know me. I only had 2 good friends growing up in primary school, I thought I had 3 but I’m so grateful that my best friend told me that my 3rd friend WAS PICKING ON ME, BEHIND MY BACK! All Because I got upset to easily, I was so sensitive, and I got special treatment from caring teachers because I was so shy. Autism has definitely made my life harder, and I bet these people faking it wouldnt do this if they truely knew how it felt, and how it’s affecting others
@@Julia_Mwa While we knew I had autism for a while, I never actually got officially diagnosed until I was 19. And I've had people say I am lying about my autism before. Also, I swear that people think that adults with autism doesn't exist. Cos everytime I look something up like, clothes for autistic people, ALL I get is "Clothes for your autistic child" and ANYTHING I look up is ALL aimed for non autistic parents with autistic children. I only found ONE result on the first page that was actually clothes for ADULTS. I have sensory issues, so finding clothes that don't bother me is HARD. Bet yeah, if I do any research to help me with my autism, it just ASSUMES I am a parent with autistic children. GOD FORBID that an autistic adult is actually capable of doing their own research! It's like autistic adults don't even exist sometimes. And as an autistic adult, that is very difficult. I have had people straight up tell me I don't seem autistic, and "I don't know why they diagnosed you with autism." Bruh, you don't know how much I struggle in my daily life. You don't know how much effort it is for me to do SIMPLE everday things. You don't know how much SWEAT I feel dripping down my back every time I come home from going outside and shopping alone. You don't know how much I SHAKE when I make phone calls for appointments. So to those who fake it, if I could give you my autism for a day, I'd love to see how you cope with it. Cos trust me, it's not good.
@@Julia_Mwa I’ve been living with it for 14 years, and I’m still not officially diagnosed, my therapist is like “yeah you’re on the spectrum but I can’t diagnose you.” Like omg
as a gen z'er with anxiety, that "forcing a panic attack" one made me laugh so hard. its because you literally can't do that since panic attacks usually come out of nowhere and aren't very pleasant. I'd also like to know how you'd like analyse yourself in that state like, when I have a panic attack I can barely think about anything let alone psychoanalyse lol. edit: typo oops edit: i've seen replies sayin that you can trigger panic attacks but my point still stands like why would you want that lmao
Literally! One time I was just in the shower, washing my hair, and I had a random and awful panic attack come out of nowhere. Literally felt like I was going to die, I ran out of the shower screaming :( I am going to see a therapist soon tho so hopefully it gets better
@@coeurgourmand desdass, like, having a panic disorder is bad enough, no one would try to force it for ANYTHING, if you wanted to write in depths about panic attacks that you claim you have you shouldn’t need to trigger one
As a autistic person, this is not funny. I can't believe that people chose attention over dignity. It saddens me we went though a lot of stuff just so what we fake disorders on TikTok.
@@recmonika9751 There’s multiple types, most of them being minor and sometimes even helpful. The way this community portrays autism, however, is creating more of a rift between the autistic and the unafflicted by painting this image that autists are much more different than they really are.
I have a friend who actually has DID and basically, she's had it for years before the whole trend. I first saw how it works a week after I met her and she had a complete personality switch that day up until after our lunch break. She didn't remember a single thing that happened. When I ask her to describe it she basically says it feels like she takes a break and then comes back. The others can't see what she sees and basically, when it happens she doesn't know therefore I'd have to tell her what she did or said during that time. There's like eight of her inside there and recently I convinced her to see a psychiatrist.
As a Gen Z'er with ADHD, I can confirm that I was diagnosed after I drank my water a tad too fast. I also despise this tiktok stunt. Completely made talking about real disorders or mental health really difficult because people will assume you're faking it
It's amazing that all kids with "DID" know their alters and have enough control to front them for a TikTok. I suspect they originally watched content creators like DissociaDID and decided they wanted that. What they choose to ignore is that these people went through years of therapy to achieve this level of control and cooperation between their alters
Plus, all their alters are super quirky and fun and distinct from each other, plus they are all OK with introducing themselves in the exact same way, with the exact same sentence.
Honestly as someone who's been in a circle of many people with actual diagnosed DID for years now and saw them have a bunch of issues, from communication to all kinds of things including more sever issues such as full on breakdowns. It almost feels like these people are treating it as a joke, especially those who pretend to have fictives/introjects, cuz while fictives/introjects are based off fictional people or characters, theyre not them and actually act much more human and normal than whatever the fuck these attention seekers are doing
also something these people either ignore or don't know is that 70% of people who have been diagnosed with DID have attempted suicide which just adds to how fuck up it is
right? i have some form of dissociative disorder and out of the seven headmates that i know of, literally only one is even willing to talk to other people, and i get stuck in front fucking constantly. it's not fun it's just frustrating
As someone with mental health issues this is really a big issue in our community and I love when others address this since most of creators with disorders and or tourettes get a lot of backlash because most people think they are faking, and not just on social media in real life too. When I got sent to the hospital after my first tic started doctors kept saying I was faking it because faking tourettes was apparently a "trend", I didn't even know what tourettes was and no doctor even mentioned it and just kept saying nothing is wrong with you, it sent me to depression because I didn't know what was wrong with me and no one told me anything, and living in a religious country everyone thought I was possessed and kept taking me to get cleansed from demons, it went like that for months till I had a stroke, and after it I had a severe tic attack where I bit my hand and kept punching myself and ripping my skin, that was when they finally got me a professional doctor in the field (I live in a small country doctors professional in fields like this are hard to just go to and get an appointment especially since tourettes is really rare in my country) I learned what tourettes was and I'm now way better and rarely tic thanks to medication, but I still have a long way to go since I still need to work on my disorders. If this had effected my life this bad I don't know what others are going through. Stay strong everyone!
@Himiko Toga many doctors dont. they are not usually taught a lot about this in medical school. Even if they are taught a lot about it, many doctors are quick to judge others and blame the patient for the disorder when in reality they might have a serious illness. This happened to me and turns out i have a rare autoimmune illness called PANS that caused everything, but i was told my symptoms were all in my head and i was faking it for years.
One person I see get a lot of hate is sweet anita, some people have even tried to force her to develop new tics trying to get her to develop things as horrible as the N-word. People get bullied so badly online for disorders no matter the age and it makes me sick to my stomach to see or even hear about. I've had bad experiences with doctors too, it was hard to get a diagnosis because doctors around here are quick to blame it on you and not look deeper into it, they also blame it on "Trends" its why you have to push push push for tests and screenings and checkups and see other professionals aswell since its even hard to get physical illnesses diagnosed much less mental or neurological. And it shouldn't have to be that hard, you shouldn't have to push for months or years on end just to be taken seriously and looked into to find "Oh you were right all along" and you have what you suspected. Also have gotten numerous incorrect diagnosis's because I can't speak for myself and my mother likes to be vague and not give details which a doctor or therapist NEED, and my doctors and therapists wont let me write things down to talk to them they insist on my mom has to be my spokesperson, and IW as put on medications that made me very very sick. Luckily got everything turned around thankfully. I'm sorry you also went through something so horrible my friend!
I was diagnosed with anxiety many years ago but have suffered with it all my life. When I was young my dad had to come to my room to calm me down every night before bed because I was so anxious about death. Anxiety is not fun and I am sure these other illnesses are not either. Why someone would pretend to have it and basically make fun of it makes me sick to my stomach.
I find it a bit funny how most of us were still young and didn't want to *stick out* in a group of people, but now here we are faking disorders to be different and quirky
As a person who has ADHD, I hate the internet. My big brother is autistic, and can't go out into this horrible world because of it. People need to stop faking disorders for fame and clout. I can't even stand this BS.
Ain't it great? I have severe tourettes and I pray to God that my daughter doesn't end up with it. It would break my heart if she ended up with it like I did. In my family it's passed from father to son, but somehow I ended up with it instead of my brother, so I'm hoping that because I'm a woman I will be less likely to pass it to my daughter. My brother-in-law also has debilitating schizophrenia and he struggles with it every day. After seeing how hard he struggles with schizophrenia, I'm honestly blessed I only have tourettes. Anyone who fakes tourettes can fudge off, but anyone who fakes schizophrenia is a disgusting piece of turd who deserves nothing from the world. People like them act like it's a fun quirk to have a disorder and it's not. I hate being stared at. I hate that I struggle to drive. I hate that my tics cause me alot of pain. No one should want this and they just end up making not only themselves look like clowns, but the people who genuinely have the disorder look like bloody clowns and laughing stocks.
It would be an interesting turn of events if one day they woke up and they had said disorders...then they would possibly take it more seriously at least they skipped the school bully years...or better yet THEY COULD UNDERSTAND HOW IT FEELS when it comes to school/work. Because its frustrating when you can't focus and not get distacted when you have to resort to pulling your hair or biting the hell out of your pens.
As someone who doesn't have any disorders, I know that faking something as serious as those disorders is at the very least harmful. You don't have to have disorders to know that this is wrong.
I feel that if you fake disorders then you probably have an ego the size of the sun, I have ADHD and it makes me mad seeing people fidget with things and show me in a light like that
@@Extentrixalot right, my sisters has ADHD and they’re actually the opposite of what these people on tiktok think it ADHD. They’re actually really calm.
As someone who has multiple disorders and is legally disabled-- I do use a wheelchair, I have a service dog... I will GLADLY give all my illnesses to some of these fakers!! Please give me your good health and all that energy to fake crap so I can live a normal life!! I'll happily let you feel what it's like like to have pain 24/7 and not be able to do normal life activities such as showering, grocery shopping, laundry, etc without assistance and making major life changes!! I have virtually no social life, almost all my friends slowly left me when I couldn't do things with them on *their* schedules.... So yeah, please -- take my damn illnesses and give me your health!!
This whole romanticing of disorders has to stop. These people erroneously believe having such disorders make your "quirky", but in actuality they are a struggle living with.
DID is actually a really rare disorder, I absolutely hate when people think DID is just having multiple oc's, It's not. DID is having multiple personalities due to severe trauma, it is extremely difficult to deal with. When you switch I can be extremely scary, you would wake up in the middle of nowhere and not knowing how long you were out and what happened. DISORDERS ARE NOT A TREND, IT IS SERIOUS!! {I don't have DID}
most people who self diagnose are more likely to have some form of OSDD (otherwise specified dissociative disorder), this disorder is not brought on by extreme abuse/trauma, it can happen AFTER the age of 10, and the number of alters is generally limited to a hand full at the most.
@@toscatattertail9813 I just looked this up. It says it is not ALWAYS caused by trauma, but it, like DID, is inherently trauma based. It also seems to have a correlation with BPD. It is more common than DID, but still not very common.
that last part reminds me of being black out drunk. i had it happen to me once and never again did i drink because of it. im a woman too and to wake up not knowing what happened the night before is terrifying.
It's caused by severe prolonged stress so yeah trauma can cause it. You're right, you don't have any idea what's happening to you and it's like blacking out. Sufferers don't usually even notice much as a defence mechanism. It's only when you start treatment that you realise something is going on. I hate it when people create themselves alters. They're just different parts of yourself that are dissociated. When you start becoming aware of it, it's like constantly waking up as if ou were drunk before. It can be treated even if it's hard. It's not something you just learn to live with
I understand that DID exists, that it's really rare, that fugue (blackout) episodes mean a person might not be aware of some or all of the alters, and that alters can be a different age or the other sex, or even less 'developed', i.e. abstract or incomplete in a way. But there are too many DID fakers, and they really bug me. Not only because they're lying and making light of a serious mental illness for attention, but because their fake alters are just as predictable as their waking selves: always either extremely sensitive or highly antagonistic, always LGBTQ and/or DDlg, politically liberal, vegan, and either unaffiliated with religion or into paganism or wicca. BIG eyeroll.
My sister has tourette syndrome and it's so hard for her to control her tics and she wishes she didn't have it because it's really affecting her mental health and there getting so bad that I don't think she's allowed to drive and I can't believe people would actually fake it for attention it's just so disgusting
I have ADHD and have been diagnosed for about 8 years now (by multiple professionals). My younger sister pretended she had ADHD about a year ago for some benefits at her university and now actually believes she has it (idk if she’s just gaslighting herself to get meds or something). It’s so frustrating to actually struggle with something your entire life while someone else succeeds with ease and then have them come up to you and tell you they have the same issues. I want to scream at her every time.
God damn… in my country, Aboriginal peoples have like free university (I don’t mind as long as they don’t abuse it). Anyway, my friend is like 1 32nd Aboriginal and got free uni
As a person with anxiety and possible tourettes who is apart of Gen Z, I can confidently say I am ashamed to be in my generation. Because of people like this I do not feel comfortable telling people I have anxiety as a reason for minor anxiety attacks I get at the thought of having to talk to someone I barely know.
Im a freshman in high school and its hard to not get looped in with these people and people just dont take us normal, sane, not attention starved kids seriously, I too, am ashamed. Lets hope future generations fix what we have caused
And i feel you on the anxiety attacks man especially when it comes to talking to people. Its just something we cant really control and it sucks bc personally i feel alone but it scares me to talk to anyone that idk. But i hope one day you can have the anxiety calm down and you can be free! Hope you get better!
I’m so ashamed to be part of gen z too. I recently developed tics out of anxiety that have only gotten worse and with depression and the overthinking I second guess myself and just end up suffering more. I genuinely hate people.
I havw anxiety, and it is getting anxious, (obviously) and when i do, i have the sudden urge to like chew on something like a baby or dog. Maybe my shirt or blanket. And with my adhd? Yeah those 2 go terrible together. I agree with thanos to snap away these people who use tiktok.
I got diagnosed with PTSD and was embarrassed to tell anyone because of people like this. I was worried I was subconsciously faking it, which my therapist said was impossible since i hadnt told anyone. It couldn't be faked for attention if I wasn't telling anyone. I cringed talking about actual triggers because everyone used the term so casually.
It’s hard enough getting a diagnosis for DID. It took me ten years of therapy, dr visits, and 3 different inpatient care facilities to get my diagnosis and I still have to deal with skepticism because teens/adults on tiktok think that faking DID makes them cool or interesting. Annoying
That bc it a BS diagnosis only diagnosed by quacks. That's why it's so hard to get that diagnosis. You have to find a shady professional that has no ethics
As someone with Tourette's Syndrome, I fucking hate this. Not only are there tics, but its like ADHD to the extreme. My main problem with tourettes is hard to pinpoint, but one way it manifests itself is my mental inability to not procrastinate. I know that sounds silly and fake, but for me it is not a case of willpower. For 4 months, i have been pushing myself day and night to do my sork, but can never seem to do it. Finally, I told my parents and am now in therapy. He explained to me how procastinating is impossible to beat with pure willpower, because it has to do with fight/flight. Humans view any form of hard work as a threat, and our brains think "we need to get out of here", because in the wild, it would be a physical threat that we would NEED to leave. Now, that part is actually normal, but Tourette's syndrome is like the perfect storm to permanenelty erase any hope I have of being able to push myself to do a complete job on my work
I love how all of their littles, or age-regressed alters, know their sexuality, speak with a lisp, even though they’re like 8. It’s like that scene in the Good Place where Elenor is trying to understand her step-sister.
I have a little bit of lisp. The right side of my head to my neck has been paralyzed. I recovered but my right face is forever stiff. I was diagnosed by a doctor as someone with a possibility of Neuralgia due to the symptoms that occurred. I have frequent headaches, I would aspirate, frequent twitching of my right facial muscles in which sometimes I don’t realize that my face was twitching until the doctor told me it was happening. I hate when people pretend they have these disorders just to look cool.
@@chubby_cheesecake_cheeks honestly, I think I might have a less severe version of that, my one eye is always slightly more closed than the other, plus a crooked smile, and I have constant neck twitches(even ear and eye twitches?), neck pain, face pain and headaches, and very rarely a migraine would cause the drooping on one side to be pretty severe looking, almost like a stroke.
@@dimwitteddingo I've somehow recovered most of my facial movements. My sister has the more severe one because she can't smile the same way anymore. I was the lucky one who had that and got back most of my facial muscle function. Although my face would still feel stiff and I get severe migraines every now and then when triggered by something. The migraine makes the stiffness worse and the twitching.
As someone with diagnosed ADHD, I hate when I see people use it as a excuse for not doing their work or just simply ‘being QuiRky’. I understand that all people are different, but then people try to tell me I DON’T have ADHD because I’m not the stereotypical ‘tehEh hyper quirky’ person even though my mother has taken me to a actual doctor to confirm it. ADHD makes it hard to focus and gets in the way of work I strive to complete. It’s not a aesthetic, and so isn’t other mental problems.
ADHD sucks so god damn much. i haven't been officially diagnosed with it but i have a SEVERE attention and focus problem. my dad has it so im asuming i got it from him too or some of it anyways. i dont like it at all. i can't work or have a job and that means i have to depend on someone else and i dont like that. ive been trying for decades to get better with it and nope, im still as unfocused as ever. there was this one time i smoked weed though and i had about 30 min of TOTAL FOCUS. it felt so good, you have no idea how good it felt to be able to focus and get something done. when that focus left me, i was so sad. so god damn sad.
i agree. people doubt that i have adhd and think im just a slacker because im not bouncing off the walls. the only reason im hyperactive is because i have learned to dial it back severely. (used to be a seat squirmer but now i just fidget with my fingers).it sucks when people don't understand that sitting still isnt even the big issue. it's meeting deadlines and arriving to places on time and not forgetting important dates. but apparently i have to yell "look a squirrel" in order to be taken seriously.
AD-HD is the worst, I couldn’t focus in class that well because I kept getting distracted by kids talking and being loud. People faking it for attention should not be able to post.
I have ADHD and it has affected my school life and work in a really bad way. I constantly forget things, have bad time management skills, have terrible time perception, and I cannot focus at all. I never wanted ADHD and I still don't. It's disgusting that these fakers think that having disorders are quirky and fun. No, they are not fun, they are annoying and frustrating to deal with and I believe that many people who are diagnosed with mental disorders can agree with me.
The one with the person wanting to force a panic attack especially disgusted me because I have really bad anxiety and I have panic attacks pretty much every day and I wouldn't wish that on anyone who's not a sadist. It essentially makes life feel like purgatory. I've been living like this for so long that I was shocked to learn about 2 years ago that most people only have panic attacks a few times throughout their lives.
As someone with high-functioning autism, ADHD and severe anxiety, thank you for calling these idiots out. It's not that evident--my worst tic is that I bite down on nothing to hear the click and it damages my teeth. I have an emotional support cat who helps with anxiety, and I had to manually learn all the things other people innately understand, like body language, eye contact, tone and inflection, etc. It's not something that obvious and it doesn't mean I can't sit still for 3 minutes. I'm not even medicated anymore. This is all complete bullshit and disgusts me so much to see online.
I also have autism, and this is disgusting. They don’t understand real life challenges, me, you, and everyone else with an actual diagnosis have. It’s horrible.
I do as well, but I hate admitting it to anyone now because I feel like they'll just assume I'm jumping on the "mental health conditions are cool" bandwagon. It's so frustrating to live with these issues, and I certainly don't want attention for them. I also don't know how you can show you have these kinds of disorders in a video. It doesn't work that way. There is no set of defined behaviors that can be shown in a 3 minute video that demonstrates these conditions, much less give anyone any real insight into what it's like to live with them. It's just a bunch of people acting out stereotypes for attention.
@@productivestudylife5751 Same here. It varies depending on stimulation, mood, recreational drugs, etc but I’ve had a really strenuous neck tic due to Asperger’s for at least 20 years, I’m currently 28. The muscles and nerves in my neck are probably frayed from rolling my head around for so long and there definitely are times when I can control it but other times it’s unavoidable and is frequently very painful. It’s not the only movement tic I have either, I’ll roll my lower jaw around similarly as well as strain the joints in my fingers from the tics. It’s just so shameless and ignorant that this younger generation sees it as quirky and unique when in reality… nahhh bruh this shit is painful and embarrassing, why the fuck would you want this? Answer: you wouldn’t if you actually had to fucking deal with it every day.
I am struggling to work out why the anxiety stuff has all the twitching. I have a general anxiety disorder diagnosis (which really doesn't mean anything), but it impacts a lot of things including OCD, Agrophobia, etc. 99% of the time I would say that nobody knows. I'm very good at masking my anxiety and dealing with it because it's an every day occurrence. I can't imagine anything that would make me feel more crippling levels of anxiety than showing that I have anxiety to the entire world. If you have an anxiety disorder you do everything you can to prevent it from getting worse. If I could change just one thing about my life it would be for some magical cure for anxiety. I can deal with being anxious, but anxiety is the part about myself that I dislike the most.
as someone with anxiety, I can confirm that every time we sit still for upwards of 30 seconds we go into full-on fight mode. (Blankets usually are involved) edit: why is everyone so pressed its a joke lmao
I have ADHD and Anxiety, I do fidget alot but it's usually a constant single moment, shaking my leg, bitting my nails or biting the insides of my cheeks.
That green haired person captioning "work meetings with tourettes" has already been called out by her own family as faking. Plus you can clearly tell that if she actually did have that severe of a case where she would tic every three second I can assure you she should not be laughing. Tourettes impacts a person's life in so many different ways and it is very frustrating for them, nobody would be laughing if they illegitimately had a case as severe as this.
2:57 BRO THIS DUDE is calling himself Kenny and Tweek in some alters AND he dresses exactly like Kenny and Tweek from south park in those moments. This must be entertainment...
As a person who's friends with someone who has a severe case of tics, the people acting here are literally- f*cking stupid. Most tics are quite painful, because they are involuntary actions and cause a lot of damage. It's hard to live a proper life with it, and especially with these oh so awesome people, people don't even take my friend, who has an actual case of tics seriously.
LITERALLY like shes smiling and laughing about it like its funny or something but TICS ARE NOT FUNNY THEYRE PAINFUL AND ANNOYING like i promise if she actually had tourettes she would not be laughing like this she would be so fucking upset (talking abt tics and roses btw/green hair girl)
i know a guy that actually has torrets, his ticks arent like that, and even while having ticks he is still able to live and be happy, these people are exagerating
The problem with DID is people glorify it and make it cute and quirky. It's not cute, it's a mental DISORDER caused by TRAUMA. Another thing you have to realize is it's in this person's head. Like you can pretend they actually manifested a demon inside of themselves or you can realize their brain is pretending to manifest a demon to protect them from childhood abuse. Alters are coping mechanisms and you should be trying to CURE it instead of glamorizing and faking it. Nobody with DID that I know actually likes having Alters. Edit: by cure I mean find healthier ways of coping
For real tho I got counseling for panic disorder and I'm doing much better but seeing glamorization of anxiety has always bugged me. It's not cute and quirky, it's something that interrupts your daily life
and the fakers always expect people to treat them as multiple people. no, you're just one person--even if you had the disorder, you'd still just be one person. and i doubt making a tiktok listing the names and pronouns of your alters would be healthy.
I agree for the most part but trying to "cure" i dont think nothings wrong with them and i know people and friends who thing DID is a blessing for them and they couldntve gone through without them.
As a person with diagnosed anxiety these people make it really hard to even accept my self... Like I'll be in the middle of a break down and think " you're just doing this for attention " even when I'm alone. It is also hard to tell people about it cause they usually think the same.
As someone who has been diagnosed with anxiety, I have to explain that it only triggers when you think you are in immediate danger (weird unnatural sounds, darkness, the feeling that something bad will always happen, etc). It’s a lot more deeper to trigger than just staring at a camera you set up yourself lmao. Most of the time you don’t express it either besides maybe making a face or sweating or something.
@@FriskyVivitfilia Anxiety is the FEELING of immediate danger, even though I know FOR SURE nothing wrong is going to happen. It’s always in the back of my head that something *might* be wrong. But I don’t express it like the guy on that bed lmao.
@@julianmendez4691 not necessarily, it's different for everyone For me, it happens when I'm in a social space and little things start to go wrong, then my brains see this as the end of the world and I start shaking yayy
@@julianmendez4691 It depends, long term Anxiety usually happens AFTER birth. Like if a tragic event happened in your childhood or something. Horror games and movies might affect some with anxiety, but for me personally, no. It’s really only if I feel something is, off. Like if a song is off tempo or a book starts turning into gibberish halfway through without warning. Or the feeling that something (or someone) is always watching. That kind of stuff.
“Should I force myself to have a panic attack” anyone who has ever had a real panic attack will tell you it’s the last thing they ever want to experience again
i got my autism diagnosis just this autumn and because of this "trend" i still havent told anyone outside my closest closest friends and closest family because i am afraid this is what people will think i am doing. that i am an attention seeking faker. the same goes for my depression and anxiety (diagnosed and medicated), i feel like people will think i am just trying to be quirky. it already is so hard to live with, and not being able to access resources that could make it a little bit easier because i fear being taken for a faker (even though i have plenty of papers from doctors and psychologists stating my diagnoses), makes it even harder. this trend isnt about acceptance or spreading awareness, it just causes harm and i am so sick and tired of it.
I got my autism diagnosis last summer, and the only people I told are the others in my year with autism or suspected autism. (There's quite a few coz it's a 6th form attached to the highschool we all went to, so the environment and teachers are the smae as we had through highschool, so it was easier to cope with going to 6th form than collage) I guess i'm lucky that I am in a year group that doesn't like fakers going for clout and will weed out those that are. A few years ago, one girl in our year ended up in the psych ward for anxiety and depression, but it took ages for her to end up being found coz of the sheer amount of girls faking it in our year, so I guess that was probably the last straw. Most of the people stopped faking it after that.
I really hate how people try to copy ADHD. It's hurts me. To see people wanting this disorder, it's terrible. I have trouble doing basic things like work, or even sitting down for instance. I sit down to do work, then go to check the fridge to see if anything changed in the last few minutes. Then I want to play on my tablet, and eventually forget about my work. It's the worst thing ever , and it's something I would kill to not have. It's like a constant train of thoughts in your head. I don't know why you would want it...
These people make diagnoses harder to get for people who are actually undiagnosed. I’m trying to get diagnosed autistic and it’s hard because people think I’m faking when I struggle greatly. Thanks a lot, Gen-z.
I’m so sorry for you, I’m going through kind of the same thing but I’m still a child (-13) and I can’t take control of my medical stuff yet and my father who is bipolar and already has experience with an autistic/Asperger’s child in his last marriage thinks me and my brother have autism or something, he mostly sees it in me because I’m a lot like my half-brother. It’s taking a while to get the evaluation appointment scheduled but I’m getting accommodations in class because I already have tics. I most of the time just say I’m autistic because I just have so many symptoms of it and it’d be easier to just say “I have autism” instead of “I have autistic traits” imo. I hope you can get your diagnosis soon!!!
as a person with DIAGNOSED tourette’s, depression, ADHD, and anxiety, it’s so desheartening when people are like this. no, tourette’s isn’t that random shudder you get. no, anxiety isn’t you just people nervous. no, adhd doesn’t mean you’re just a little hyper, you just had too much coffee. and NO, depression isn’t just being sad.
I have too many words myself. Being diagnosed on the spectrum as well as many other disorders I can say I'm very upset people want to pretend to even have this stuff. Makes me feel nauseated. And gives me a headache 🤬
I have ticks, have had them for eight months, but my mom doesn't believe in tourettes so I can't get diagnosed. But why else would I ram my hands into my head with my eyes screwed tight out nowhere? I can't control it and she got so mad at me for saying 'no' in an annoying voice and shaking my head. I don't know what she wants from me.
@@doodlebob3797 buddy you should not self diagnose. I understand your mom doesn't believe in that stuff my mom was the same way, antivaxer too. But that didn't stop me from going to a licensed professional to get help with what was going on. After about a month of therapy with them they were able to properly diagnose me. Everyone is different and situations are never the same but I believe if you go and get properly diagnosed you will receive the help you need. I won't even attempt to diagnose you and tell you what's wrong because only a professional can do that. So I highly suggest doing that. Causes for hitting yourself could be anything from tourettes to bpd (border line personality disorder) which you can't get proper therapy if you don't know whats going on. I genuinely hope the best for you and whatever is going on. But try to remember this before saying you have a certain disorder. It can be insensitive if come to find out it wasn't true.
It really upsets me, ive had epilepsy since the age of 15 (25 now)im on 3 different medications, the first thing you think about as am i going to die. I went thru 6 months of therapy after i attempted to hang myself. These people think its okay to self diagnose themselves? Saw someone faking a seizure while holding the phone trying to get clout. These lots should be banned from tiktok. Its offensive and disgusting.
“People just laugh at people who actually have it and nobody takes them seriously.” THATS EXACTLY CORRECT. That’s the issue. That’s why the stereotyping and stigma exists around mental health. First, no one wanted to talk about it, and now, people who don’t have it are faking it. What next? Killing the people who actually have it 😂😂
Yeah. Some people will even deny their own disorders, thinking they're just making it up or that what they feel is normal, and they're just being dramatic. I denied my depression symptoms for a long time because I was scared I would be like those girls who would pretend to self-harm and have depression. I literally thought that losing all enthusiasm for life was just a normal part of being an adult.
Idk mannn these people seem so proud to display their "disability"/"disorder". Meanwhile we here (one of SEA country) tries soooo hard to cover our differences (in term of mental health) from the other. I mean it's not wrong to be proud, but when these people who fake having disorder doing it, mannnnn people are shamelessly shameless.
When I was 5 my parents put me through ABA "Therapy " because they thought it would help me. They tied me down and repeatedly shocked me every time I showed any sign of Autism. They also violated me and physically abused me because I was non verbal at the time and couldn't tell anyone. Now I have autism and ptsd. But yeah you're soo quirky and kewl.
I'm so sorry. I worked as an ABA therapist for over a year (I'm autistic myself) and I'm glad that at least my company never used restraints or negative enforcement like that. That's barbaric. There are times where parents want us to correct stims and stuff but I have flat out refused to. Every clinic in my state is being closed in august and I have no plans on continuing working in ABA because I've just been feeling more and more gross about it. Even if all the technicians want to help kids build skills to function in life the way they are, it's the parents and administrators of the company who want us to "normalize" their children. It's just really depressing.
@@alyssasowell774 The best way to go about it think of it as what if I were in a wheelchair? Would you shock and restrain a kid in a wheelchair because you wanted him to walk, or would you implement laws and societal changes to help them enjoy life to the fullest as they are?
Sorry, you had to go through that. Its pretty shit really. Some kids just take a little longer through the stages than others. My older brother couldn't even use a toilet by himself until he was 8. I had therapist for my anxiety issues a few years ago and we did a test to see if I had autism, let's just say the results came back I was pretty close to being on the spectrum. Instead I'm just forgetful, slow at learning, stupid. 🤣 I'm not entirely sure which is the better to be.. 🤔
Gosh. I can only imagine what that experience was for you. I’m an advocate for autistic people’s autonomy (and as an autistic person myself). The “therapy” that has been preached to the masses is incredibly disgusting and needs to be dismantled. Also, these experiences of the people in the video may be valid but I just cannot wrap my head around people faking these disorders for clout. Disgusting.
thats awful, and it has been proven that shock therapy as well as alcohol damages brain cells so what they did to you sadly only made it worse, i hope they got punished for everything they did to you.
As someone who is diagnosed with Social Anxiety and Depression, listening to a tiktok audio doesn’t trigger us. They’re the reason people don’t take us kids serious 🤦🏽♀️
Honestly an unbearably vocal dimwitted minority shouldn't be all what it takes to stain the reputation of the entirety of a mostly educated group. Take 9/11 for example. It only took a few delusional extremists to get a concerning portion of the USA to judge Muslims in a bad fashion. Anyone who uses serious issues like mental disorders as a clout generator need to get banned from TikTok. TikTok should stop the mental disorder trend. There are much better places for posting about your mental disorders than TikTok.
As someone with anxiety and mild depression, I find it insulting to have something I struggle with on the daily be belittled and used for content by these brain dead tiktokers who don't know how genuinely difficult it is to live with the constant fear of being judged and hated ON TOP of not wanting to wake up everyday just because you feel like such a failure. They need to get over themselves and raise awareness, not make a mockery.
Me living with autism, anxiety, Tourette’s, and possible adhd and ocd, I find these tiktokers very offensive, I’ve always hated TikTok, it’s where the mentally screwed up kids go and create more mentally screwed content, to then mentally screw up more kids. TikTok = hell, Satan, all things cringy, misinformation and harmful content
@@Julia_Mwa I'm truly sorry for your struggles and I hope that you are well. I also pray that these people learn that it's not okay to exploit and romanticize mental illness/disorders for clout
I relate way too much with your comment :( that feeling of not wanting to wake up cause you feel like a failure…and ya, these attention seeking kids are making it worse for people like us…. Hope you get better and keep fighting against all those dark/warped thoughts. You are loved
I don’t want to imagine that feeling. I have social anxiety, and thinking about people not taking it seriously because of these TikToks makes me feel sick.
1:51 As somebody who has actually been diagnosed with severe anxiety, I can say that that lady is just fidgeting, you dont just get anxious over sitting in a room. You have a thought that you can leave your head.
The irony in them doing this for attention is I DON'T want people to give me attention for my disorders. In high school my principal outed my mental health struggles to the class when I left the room and everyone gave me looks of pity and/or disgust when I came back. It caused me to have to take the rest of my senior year courses online at home bc I was so humiliated. The only thing is she at least didn't out my actual diagnosed disorders (PTSD, bipolar and anxiety) but it was still traumatizing. So yeah, as someone with actual disorders and having a close family member with disorders this is so disgusting to see. I'm glad there's people like you making videos to create awareness about this though. (Also I've always been pretty good at hiding my anxiety so seeing videos about these fake people having "obvious signs" of it is kind of ridiculous lol)
as someone with issues too, i also dont like them brought to light. just leave me alone, i wanna be normal. idk wtf your principal was thinking telling everyone you had a mental issue. did they think the whole school would just rally you and do all your work for you or something?? there really was no reason for others knowing of your disability. especially when its not evident you have one. itd be diff if you were in a wheelchair because then people could see it but with mental issues its diff.
faker daker snaker wakers
...
Pegasus why aint you shaven
quaker
As someone with tics myself, I can say that these tiktokers are a false representation of those who actually HAVE mental disabilities, and shouldn't be acknowledged at all
noice facial hair😎
When you are literally so boring and have no personality so you fake a serious disorder that ruins peoples lives
Wassup shorthax
Honestly saddening
I wouldn’t say ruins lives, but still hard to live with.
My life has officially been ruined by these people.
yes
Fun fact: Tourette's will not be triggered when your mind is focusing heavily on something, like how people with severe tourette's can sing with ease due to this. That's why people with real tourette's often don't display it in short clips, as they are focusing on recording.
Thank you for saying this
Finally that someone is speaking actual facts
True
Oh, that's cool to know! :0
I don't have tourettes, but I do encounter some tics every once in a while! It's usually when I'm relaxed and just scrolling on my phone.
I do have this weird thing though- Often when I write something (especially in school) I start going like this "😗" and blowing air out of my mouth. I don't think it's a tic but it's quite strange, I developed it last year after a really hard test lmao
Yeah and ive heard people like billie eilish speak on her tourettes, and by the looks of it, its not as severe as ive seen and it seems to go away as shes singing and stuff like that
Why can't they just put their... creativity to create "alters" into stories/comics/characters and NOT faking a real serious disorder? That would be so much productive, god I'm losing braincells
Stop they gonna say that stan Lee has a DID ffs
fr like go write a fanfiction and leave disorders out of it
@@candle_wax3807 this is exactly what i was thinking..like dude go make an oc and write a fanfiction. thats exactly what they're doing.
The fact is DID is super rare and at most some scientists can’t even confirm it’s actually real, DID affects mostly older people(40 somewhere around there) than teenager’s.
I know I'm late, but I just want to write my own speculation here.
I think it's probably because they want to be like those "alters". They want to be an edgy, badass, demon with superpowers and also be some wholesome, uwu femboy, but they can't because they can only be one/have one personality ( it's by being true to themselves and not pretending to someone/something else ), maybe it's also because they can't become like someone they admire the most ( which explains why there are dream "alters" ).
That might be the reason why they fake DID, it was to become like those "alters", it was to fulfill their own fantasies and to pretend to be someone they aren't/someone they admire.
This is just my speculation, I'm not sure if this is what they truly want, and sorry for my bad english.
I actually met someone with D.I.D in a psych ward and it's really scary to watch someone switch. And it's so irritating to watch people fake it.
Me too, we shared a room and one of her alts was a demon it was really scary i barely slept.
It's all true I was the bed
I've had problems with paralysis and involuntary muscles twitches/spasms and yeah it's so obvious and annoyingly voluntary and over the top when they do it, it's not even close to realistic...
I feel so bad for those people 😢
I never knew when it was happening to me but my poor son said it was like I became a demon. When I dissociated, I didn't act like a different "alter". They were all me, just dissociated and seemed to be seperate emotional states. Sometimes I would end up in hospital after hurting myself. For me it was just like blacking out, I didn't even know I was blacking out for years. My therapist said it was a defence mechanism. When I did become aware of it, it was like constantly waking up like I wa drunk before. It was the most terrifying experience I've ever had. I did get treatment and after a couple of years in said treatment, I no longer dissociate. I did relapse not long after treatment and it took me about a year to get back to normal again. Now I watch my stress levels because I'm scared of dissociating. I stay inside my house to avoid stress. It's not something that is like in the movies and it's not like these kids on tiktok portray. My son had to go to therapy for a while and I'm glad he did. I'm completely ashamed of what he had to go through while I was that unwell. He does sometimes bring it up and although it makes me feel uncomfortable because I guess there is still a defence mechanism like I want to pretend it never existed. I talk about it because I want him to deal with it now rather than carrying it with him through his adult life
the thing is, they are actually so lucky that they are born with no disabilities of some sort. they are healthy and well. not saying it's bad to have a disability (unless it severely affects you). people who have autism or ADHD etc. do not have a easy life.
ADHD is not bad if you learn how to manage it it’s actually pretty peaceful

@@justtjamess7214 you're forgetting the fact that it will be too hot for life on earth by 2030.
I am a licensed marriage, family therapist, and I find it highly agitating that people think it’s trendy to fake mental health issues. Having any sort of disassociative state comes from extensive trauma and you don’t see demons and mystical creatures as alters. Additionally, disassociative identity disorder is very rare to have in its full capacity. having other issues such as Tourette’s can be very difficult for a person. These things make a mockery out of those who really have them. I personally struggle with anxiety and it has taken me a very long time different therapies to really get under control. If these people truly had these disorders, they would cry because of how debilitating they can be.
“My therapist doesn’t think I have DID”
Yeah, I wonder why. It’s not like they went to school for years and years, and are trained in identifying and treating disorders /s
I’m autistic and I’m so over kids faking autism and other disabilities. They’re why we (those of us who are actually disabled) never get taken seriously.
I don't have any disability, but seeing people who has those things getting called faking or having to show proof of a disorder because some fucked up people made it a "cool trend" is so sad
I hope you're are doing great In your life even having that disorder, I also understand this feeling about being so done with those stupid people
But also consider that did is very hard to get diagnosed for since it can be mistaken for many other mental illnesses so that is also a possibility ( not defending them btw )
Oh yeah, psychiatrists are god ! As someone with a lot of diagnosis ( made by really real psychiatrists, calm down you can like me ) they are far to be perfect, they can be really violent ( one of my psychiatrists made my depression worst ) and their diagnostic can be influenced by racism, sexism, grossophobia, transphobia etc ... So the : they've been in school is kind of fun and really far from reality
I also have autism, although being on the mild end of the spectrum. It is definitely very frustrating to see such a trend blow up. I was born with part of a left arm. This makes me a congenital amputee, I wonder how the people are going to pull that off for a Tik Tok. Anyways have a nice day anyone whos reading the comments

Can we also acknowledge D.I.Ds are EXTREMELY rare and it doesn’t mean you can call on alters on demand.
Yeah sometimes alters just appear circumstantially and they have no control. And they are most likely not self aware like that bozo who was recording.
This actually makes me really sad, my brother has severe ADHD and he struggles so much at school, in public etc. For someone to fake what he has had to deal with is horrible.
Exactly!!! Why do people think it’s “so cool” to have something like this...
Yep, my 7 year old has it. He struggles so much in school. He literally needs medication to be able to function and learn. If I could take it away from him, I would in a heart beat
I have pretty severe adult ADHD and this is irritating. Sometimes I get so frustrated I cry. It's not fun
Does Youri Brother take medication
One of my best friends has adhd and she's quite smart, but she has trouble in class so we aren't even in the same classes anymore, I cant really get why someone would want to fake adhd when I can see how much my friend is getting frustrated. T-T

You can tell Green Hair Girl is lying so easily. The giveaway for me is that her voice stays at the same volume the whole time. When she's having her "tics" she's clearly trying to be quiet so nobody (her parents, probably) hears her. With actual tics, you can't control how much noise you make.
They also don't think about the next tic they're going to have.
It’s been confirmed that she was faking actually, her family made some kinda post saying that she didn’t have any mental disorders
I saw a tiktok she made where she was walking in a store, and suddenly all her motor tics disappeared and she was only doing oral tics. The oral tics weren’t even loud enough for basically everyone in the store to hear
@@core9294 Imagine her parents actually are so disappointed that they reveal their daughter is faking smth for fame. Just shows again that it's not always the parents that ruin children...
I heard that she moved out of the house and doesn't want to socialize with her family members (can't imagine why) so she can record these stupid videos
I know someone with D.I.D. caused by some serious childhood trauma. It is a RARE psychological disorder, they are 1 of 4 people in our city that has been diagnosed with it. They also keep it private information, and only told those closest to them about it.
People pretending to have a disorder that is so traumatic make me sick!!!
as someone who encounters panic attacks, these genuinely pisses me off, the countless times i have been rushed to the hospital and almost dying due to very low oxygen and hearing my parents just begging me to calm down and hearing them pray that i make it to the hospital before anything gets even worse, makes me feel really mad that these people fake things that genuinely can kill you in no time if no one goes out to help.

@@raeofsunshinez yeah, honestly. man, hoping the best for you! we’ll get through this!

*Ah yes, everytime I get anxiety attacks I film myself instead of keeping track of it.*
Wouldn't filming yourself be the other meaning of keeping track of it? 🤔

@@heinrich.hitzinger In a sense yes, I doubt people do that though. I would just keep track using a note book or notes.

I knew this one girl who fed off of attention and self diagnosed herself with Depression, Bipolar, Anxiety, ADHD, and DID. She would constantly talk about them all the time. She would also describe her "DID alters" as if they were OC's or something. It's so stupid how people will fake severe disorders just for attention.
There’s a girl I know who is like that as well. It is so frustrating

You can’t be diagnosed with bipolar and depression at the same time it is medically impossible.
As a person with ADHD and anxiety. I'm annoyed by all these people faking disorders for attention. This isn't a trend. It's a struggle
Same. I love how they don’t put how us with ADHD have difficulty with regulating emotions like we can’t get too emotional because our emotions is always 100% and never 50%. Like I can’t we get too excited or else I feel the need to run or scream.
They could have read at least the DSM-5, soo they know what they are faking exactly.
@@narararamammily5386As a person diagnosed with ADHD you sound like you have ADD. There’s a difference. I don’t feel the need to run around and scream, I feel emotions exactly like everyone else.
Agreed I have both and others

The worst part about this is, it's making getting diagnosed for certain mental illnesses that are *actually* impairing your ability to function a *lot* harder. I need to get tested for quite a few things that are and have been effing up my ability to do basic tasks, like remembering to eat, being able to go out in public spaces without "special items", and being able to tell when someone has malicious intent towards me, to name a few. When I tried to get an appointment, the people working at my local psychological facilities weren't able to book me anything less than 13 months from the day I called due to a "sudden, overwhelming amount of adolescents and young adults" seeking diagnoses.
While I am all for the self-discovery the pandemic led many of us to, and I am very glad for the people whose suspicions were correct and were able to get treatment, this online "trend" of being neurodivergent and mentally ill is affecting people in real life. These children gotta stop.
Agreed. This is what happens tho when people let social media babysit their kids stupid and harmful trends like this. Just once I’d like to get an appointment in for depression, which I guess is ‘out of style’ now 🤦♀️. I just want medications…. It’s hard living like this. These kids have no clue. My best friend even possibly in this trend…
Faking a mental dissorder Is a dissorder
I'm so lucky I was diagnosed when I was 4-5 and my parents made sure I had the medication and resources I needed at a young age. I can't imagine having to navigate getting appointments, and getting meds let alone seeking a diagnoses with the uprising of cases. It also makes it harder to see who has an actual disorder that needs medicated treatment and such, and who just needs therapy...
I think I went undiagnosed since the age of 10, got diagnosed with some kind of depression when I was 13
I wish I would’ve gotten diagnosed with whatever it is I have while I was still in school. I literally had to drop out of college because of online learning (I can’t learn that way) and my inability to actually do the work. I lost about 2k of my savings and my family won’t stop pestering me about going back to college
as someone who genuinely has ADHD, tics, and severe anxiety, enough is enough. It's not "cool" to fake mental disorders just for a little pity party. Having these disorders isn't even fun, and in the case of my tics, it can actually be pretty painful. Faking these disorders needs to stop.
At least we aren’t in the 2000s anymore. The ableist stereotyping was intense. I’d be terrified to see what TikTok would be like back then.
exactly like why would you want something like that?? its not fun or quirky at all??? i just dont get it like bro, autism and adhd are not fun or quirky and not an aesthetic.
I have a really bad neck tick and it HURTS and it’s so annoying and even tho I’ve only had it for 2 years and I have not been diagnosed with anxiety but it is really bad.
I have ADHD and it can be bad people who fake it are very rude and shouldn’t do it.
I heard people with tics don't laugh at EVERY tic, they get annoyed since it hurts them. This is another way to see if a person is faking tics.
I’m genuinely so embarrassed to be a part of this generation. Like no joke, it breaks my heart that many adults think that all kids are that disappointing.

I’m someone with crippling anxiety that was actually diagnosed by a medical professional. I can personally attest that people like me are indeed able to sit still without freaking out
Excatly. Sometimes I've personally found I can't move out of my seat. For instance when I first started my anxiety and anti depression medication I didn't get a medication discount on my Medicare card and my dad said "just go in and they'll fix it for you" but i couldn't move. I had so many things going through my head like they'll laugh at me or become annoyed they have to fix it up, I don't want to embarrass myself and waste their time. My dad had to go in for me and fix it up. I'm 27 and still ask my dad to wait outside public toliets for me and walk around with me while I shop because I can't do it alone.
I think people confuse having anxiety over a situation vs DIAGNOSED ANXIETY. They’re two completely different things and it’s irritating that people jump to conclusion. I also have anxiety and depression diagnosed by 2 separate medical professionals. And yeah I also don’t just randomly fidget or move around like that. They’re using like the most cliche symptoms to gain attentions.
@Amber I know EXACTLY how that feels. My anxiety is one of the reasons that I’m scared to move out from my parents’ house. I can go to stores and stuff by myself, but thinking about living on my own causes me to think of every worst case scenario possible. Even now just thinking about it makes me nervous. People faking it don’t know that it’s actually causing people to not live full lives or be independent due to the rabbit hole they go down, not to mention that it feels like your chest is caving in on itself when it gets really bad. You don’t just twitch around and shit when you have an anxiety disorder. Most of the time when an anxiety attack happens, I want to curl up, close my eyes, and pretend I’m somewhere else away from what’s causing it. And when I do that, I’m still as a rock
@Kenzie Welch Seriously. It’s like they want it to be more ‘interesting’ or something so that they can get clout. There’s so many things that I’ve been actually diagnosed with by professionals and these guys are making it so that others instantly assume people who actually have certain disorders are faking it. It’s not cute and actually having these things make life miserable rather than make you ‘kwerky and interesting’.
@@kenziewelch8958 for those of us who do fidget a lot, we can decide to be conscious about it for 3 minutes.
I heard from someone that the easiest way to tell someone is lying about any “disorder” is they laugh/giggle/smile during the video because they think what they’re doing is so uwu quirky that they can’t keep a straight face.
That’s not always the case
Thank you 🙏 people who fake disorders tend to laugh at everything that's not that very funny. I feel so bad for the people actually have these disorders
I mean like in tourettes if its not physical they can laugh if its just something that they find is funny that they did but other disorders I'm not too sure
True, but many people laugh out of nervousness or habit. But you can usually tell the difference between a habit laugh and a “I’m so cute and quirky” laugh.
I agree but it isn't always the case
people with tourettes can laugh at their tics

Mental disorders aren’t something fun and quirky, they can be painful and often a living hell. As someone with both ADHD and extreme anxiety/paranoia, even being medicated is a huge issue. If I take Adderall I have a high chance of having an anxiety or panic attack at any time of the day, which is embarrassing in itself. But if I don’t medicate, I can’t pay attention and it becomes infinitely more difficult to pay attention in school, so I fall behind. It sucks that people treat all these disorders like personality traits when so many people genuinely suffer from them.
Definetely, my mother is the worst at this. She actually said that ADHD is just a personality trait and shouldn't be treated with watever they need because we shouldn't make normal things disorders.
Luckily I don't have severe adhd (I do have it though because of my dad's genetics). I do have pretty bad anxiety though. I would get anxiety attacks at school often but I've found ways to cope with them. They are so scary though when they happen, and people take it as a joke because of the people faking them to be quirky. I really wish I wasn't part of this generation.
Not just mental disorders too, things like asthma or eczema are painful. I really hope those don't get faked too.

As someone who've had cancer, had the surgery, had the chemotherapy; Experienced that entire ordeal.
Why fake it? Why glamorize those conditions? They aren't cute or fashionable. Cancer is painful.
glad you're doing better
Plain and simple: their life is boring and they want something special to get attention any way possible.
Without any talents or natural charisma (with which you get people to like you) there are two ways: get people to hate you and get people to feel bad for you.
One type of those useless attention seekers become trolls, the other base their whole internet persona about being a victim. That being a victim is usually in the shape of an illness like cancer, depression or autism or in the shape of societal repression like the people who base their whole internet personality on a sexuality no one ever heard of like Zygosexual (that's real btw)
Also as someone who's both bisexual and *diagnosed* as depressed i absolutely hate those people since they deligitimize most actual problems people who have those problems (illness or intolerant society) face as well as constantly use "phobia" (ok, it's "being ableist" not "diablephobia" but same shit) as a defense when people call them out, like seriously how is a guy that slept with gay men homophobic for saying a rape fetish isn't a sexuality?
I'm finishing with my cancer, I didn't had rays(?) Or a surgery for that, but the chemotherapy is a little bit upsetting, I have 8 more to go and be finally free, and I SWEAR TO GOD if I see one more person faking having a bad health I'm going to cry (I'm a spanish person, sorry for the bad english)

When I was a kid I used to have this extremely annoying tic where I would hum every few seconds. Constantly. It went on for years. It was so embarassing and I had friends comment on it but it felt like an itch that I simply had to scratch. Eventually I forced myself to stop. Not tourettes, but just a weird compulsive behavior that I inherited from my dad. I can only imagine how awful it is to have tourttes where that is just your state of being. The lengths people will go to for social media attention is...unreal.
I totally get that! I don’t have Tourette’s, but my medicine caused my to have a really bad arm tic. Basically, I would stick my elbow out repeatedly. It got to the point where I physically couldn’t control it, and I would have to hold down my arm in crowded areas so I didn’t elbow people. Luckily, it mostly went away after I stopped taking the meds, but it was terrifying not to be in control of my body. The amount of disrespect to fake this is unreal
Anyone faking tourettes deserves to be made fun of and you have my blessing to do so. It has made my life a nightmare far past the age I was told it was supposed to taper off.

Autism sucks. I've had to accept the fact that I may never be a 100% independant adult, and that I may never be able to have children, because it wont be fair on them, if I can even barely care for myself at times.
Autism I have as well as many others including Tourette’s,
And I didn’t get fully diagnosed with autism until last year! I’ve been living with autism for 13 years! AND ONLY LAST YEAR was I finally diagnosed! So I NEVER got the help I needed through primary school, and everyone made up there mind about me as soon as they met and got to know me. I only had 2 good friends growing up in primary school, I thought I had 3 but I’m so grateful that my best friend told me that my 3rd friend WAS PICKING ON ME, BEHIND MY BACK!

I have sensory issues, so finding clothes that don't bother me is HARD.
Bet yeah, if I do any research to help me with my autism, it just ASSUMES I am a parent with autistic children.
GOD FORBID that an autistic adult is actually capable of doing their own research!
It's like autistic adults don't even exist sometimes. And as an autistic adult, that is very difficult.

I have a friend who actually has DID and basically, she's had it for years before the whole trend. I first saw how it works a week after I met her and she had a complete personality switch that day up until after our lunch break. She didn't remember a single thing that happened. When I ask her to describe it she basically says it feels like she takes a break and then comes back. The others can't see what she sees and basically, when it happens she doesn't know therefore I'd have to tell her what she did or said during that time. There's like eight of her inside there and recently I convinced her to see a psychiatrist.
that’s really good for you to convince her to see someone! keep it up!
Bunny girl senpai flashbacks 😳
Glad she is seeing a professional!
Glad that your getting her help and how is she doing now if your comfy for asking and if not just tell her I say hi :D
She must be really brave and open to social contact to show it to you after only one week. I've shown it to only one person in my lifetime.

It's amazing that all kids with "DID" know their alters and have enough control to front them for a TikTok. I suspect they originally watched content creators like DissociaDID and decided they wanted that. What they choose to ignore is that these people went through years of therapy to achieve this level of control and cooperation between their alters
Plus, all their alters are super quirky and fun and distinct from each other, plus they are all OK with introducing themselves in the exact same way, with the exact same sentence.
@@sacha8uk which is quite strange, if you think about it.
Honestly as someone who's been in a circle of many people with actual diagnosed DID for years now and saw them have a bunch of issues, from communication to all kinds of things including more sever issues such as full on breakdowns. It almost feels like these people are treating it as a joke, especially those who pretend to have fictives/introjects, cuz while fictives/introjects are based off fictional people or characters, theyre not them and actually act much more human and normal than whatever the fuck these attention seekers are doing
also something these people either ignore or don't know is that 70% of people who have been diagnosed with DID have attempted suicide which just adds to how fuck up it is
right? i have some form of dissociative disorder and out of the seven headmates that i know of, literally only one is even willing to talk to other people, and i get stuck in front fucking constantly. it's not fun it's just frustrating
As someone with mental health issues this is really a big issue in our community and I love when others address this since most of creators with disorders and or tourettes get a lot of backlash because most people think they are faking, and not just on social media in real life too.
When I got sent to the hospital after my first tic started doctors kept saying I was faking it because faking tourettes was apparently a "trend", I didn't even know what tourettes was and no doctor even mentioned it and just kept saying nothing is wrong with you, it sent me to depression because I didn't know what was wrong with me and no one told me anything, and living in a religious country everyone thought I was possessed and kept taking me to get cleansed from demons, it went like that for months till I had a stroke, and after it I had a severe tic attack where I bit my hand and kept punching myself and ripping my skin, that was when they finally got me a professional doctor in the field (I live in a small country doctors professional in fields like this are hard to just go to and get an appointment especially since tourettes is really rare in my country) I learned what tourettes was and I'm now way better and rarely tic thanks to medication, but I still have a long way to go since I still need to work on my disorders. If this had effected my life this bad I don't know what others are going through.
Stay strong everyone!
I'm sorry
@@bunnybug3996 don't be sorry it's not something anyone could control
@Himiko Toga many doctors dont. they are not usually taught a lot about this in medical school. Even if they are taught a lot about it, many doctors are quick to judge others and blame the patient for the disorder when in reality they might have a serious illness. This happened to me and turns out i have a rare autoimmune illness called PANS
that caused everything, but i was told my symptoms were all in my head and i was faking it for years.
One person I see get a lot of hate is sweet anita, some people have even tried to force her to develop new tics trying to get her to develop things as horrible as the N-word. People get bullied so badly online for disorders no matter the age and it makes me sick to my stomach to see or even hear about.
I've had bad experiences with doctors too, it was hard to get a diagnosis because doctors around here are quick to blame it on you and not look deeper into it, they also blame it on "Trends" its why you have to push push push for tests and screenings and checkups and see other professionals aswell since its even hard to get physical illnesses diagnosed much less mental or neurological. And it shouldn't have to be that hard, you shouldn't have to push for months or years on end just to be taken seriously and looked into to find "Oh you were right all along" and you have what you suspected. Also have gotten numerous incorrect diagnosis's because I can't speak for myself and my mother likes to be vague and not give details which a doctor or therapist NEED, and my doctors and therapists wont let me write things down to talk to them they insist on my mom has to be my spokesperson, and IW as put on medications that made me very very sick. Luckily got everything turned around thankfully.
I'm sorry you also went through something so horrible my friend!
I was diagnosed with anxiety many years ago but have suffered with it all my life. When I was young my dad had to come to my room to calm me down every night before bed because I was so anxious about death. Anxiety is not fun and I am sure these other illnesses are not either. Why someone would pretend to have it and basically make fun of it makes me sick to my stomach.
I find it a bit funny how most of us were still young and didn't want to *stick out* in a group of people, but now here we are faking disorders to be different and quirky

As a person who has ADHD, I hate the internet. My big brother is autistic, and can't go out into this horrible world because of it. People need to stop faking disorders for fame and clout. I can't even stand this BS.
Ain't it great? I have severe tourettes and I pray to God that my daughter doesn't end up with it. It would break my heart if she ended up with it like I did. In my family it's passed from father to son, but somehow I ended up with it instead of my brother, so I'm hoping that because I'm a woman I will be less likely to pass it to my daughter. My brother-in-law also has debilitating schizophrenia and he struggles with it every day. After seeing how hard he struggles with schizophrenia, I'm honestly blessed I only have tourettes. Anyone who fakes tourettes can fudge off, but anyone who fakes schizophrenia is a disgusting piece of turd who deserves nothing from the world. People like them act like it's a fun quirk to have a disorder and it's not. I hate being stared at. I hate that I struggle to drive. I hate that my tics cause me alot of pain. No one should want this and they just end up making not only themselves look like clowns, but the people who genuinely have the disorder look like bloody clowns and laughing stocks.
i have anxiety and it anger me so much, I need a social media detox day lol
As someone who has i ADHD, it’s disgusting that people are faking disorders just for attention.
It would be an interesting turn of events if one day they woke up and they had said disorders...then they would possibly take it more seriously at least they skipped the school bully years...or better yet THEY COULD UNDERSTAND HOW IT FEELS when it comes to school/work. Because its frustrating when you can't focus and not get distacted when you have to resort to pulling your hair or biting the hell out of your pens.
As someone who doesn't have any disorders, I know that faking something as serious as those disorders is at the very least harmful. You don't have to have disorders to know that this is wrong.
I feel that if you fake disorders then you probably have an ego the size of the sun, I have ADHD and it makes me mad seeing people fidget with things and show me in a light like that

This whole romanticing of disorders has to stop. These people erroneously believe having such disorders make your "quirky", but in actuality they are a struggle living with.
DID is actually a really rare disorder, I absolutely hate when people think DID is just having multiple oc's, It's not.
DID is having multiple personalities due to severe trauma, it is extremely difficult to deal with.
When you switch I can be extremely scary, you would wake up in the middle of nowhere and not knowing how long you were out and what happened.
DISORDERS ARE NOT A TREND, IT IS SERIOUS!!
{I don't have DID}
most people who self diagnose are more likely to have some form of OSDD (otherwise specified dissociative disorder), this disorder is not brought on by extreme abuse/trauma, it can happen AFTER the age of 10, and the number of alters is generally limited to a hand full at the most.
@@toscatattertail9813 I just looked this up. It says it is not ALWAYS caused by trauma, but it, like DID, is inherently trauma based. It also seems to have a correlation with BPD. It is more common than DID, but still not very common.
that last part reminds me of being black out drunk. i had it happen to me once and never again did i drink because of it. im a woman too and to wake up not knowing what happened the night before is terrifying.
It's caused by severe prolonged stress so yeah trauma can cause it. You're right, you don't have any idea what's happening to you and it's like blacking out. Sufferers don't usually even notice much as a defence mechanism. It's only when you start treatment that you realise something is going on. I hate it when people create themselves alters. They're just different parts of yourself that are dissociated. When you start becoming aware of it, it's like constantly waking up as if ou were drunk before. It can be treated even if it's hard. It's not something you just learn to live with
I understand that DID exists, that it's really rare, that fugue (blackout) episodes mean a person might not be aware of some or all of the alters, and that alters can be a different age or the other sex, or even less 'developed', i.e. abstract or incomplete in a way. But there are too many DID fakers, and they really bug me. Not only because they're lying and making light of a serious mental illness for attention, but because their fake alters are just as predictable as their waking selves: always either extremely sensitive or highly antagonistic, always LGBTQ and/or DDlg, politically liberal, vegan, and either unaffiliated with religion or into paganism or wicca. BIG eyeroll.
My sister has tourette syndrome and it's so hard for her to control her tics and she wishes she didn't have it because it's really affecting her mental health and there getting so bad that I don't think she's allowed to drive and I can't believe people would actually fake it for attention it's just so disgusting

I have ADHD and have been diagnosed for about 8 years now (by multiple professionals). My younger sister pretended she had ADHD about a year ago for some benefits at her university and now actually believes she has it (idk if she’s just gaslighting herself to get meds or something). It’s so frustrating to actually struggle with something your entire life while someone else succeeds with ease and then have them come up to you and tell you they have the same issues. I want to scream at her every time.
I have a very minor case of ADHD

Scream at your sister. Shs deserves it.
As a person with anxiety and possible tourettes who is apart of Gen Z, I can confidently say I am ashamed to be in my generation. Because of people like this I do not feel comfortable telling people I have anxiety as a reason for minor anxiety attacks I get at the thought of having to talk to someone I barely know.
Im a freshman in high school and its hard to not get looped in with these people and people just dont take us normal, sane, not attention starved kids seriously, I too, am ashamed. Lets hope future generations fix what we have caused
And i feel you on the anxiety attacks man especially when it comes to talking to people. Its just something we cant really control and it sucks bc personally i feel alone but it scares me to talk to anyone that idk. But i hope one day you can have the anxiety calm down and you can be free! Hope you get better!
I’m so ashamed to be part of gen z too. I recently developed tics out of anxiety that have only gotten worse and with depression and the overthinking I second guess myself and just end up suffering more. I genuinely hate people.

I got diagnosed with PTSD and was embarrassed to tell anyone because of people like this. I was worried I was subconsciously faking it, which my therapist said was impossible since i hadnt told anyone. It couldn't be faked for attention if I wasn't telling anyone. I cringed talking about actual triggers because everyone used the term so casually.
It’s hard enough getting a diagnosis for DID. It took me ten years of therapy, dr visits, and 3 different inpatient care facilities to get my diagnosis and I still have to deal with skepticism because teens/adults on tiktok think that faking DID makes them cool or interesting. Annoying
That bc it a BS diagnosis only diagnosed by quacks. That's why it's so hard to get that diagnosis. You have to find a shady professional that has no ethics
It's really easy to tell the fakes apart. Eventually they break character.
As someone with Tourette's Syndrome, I fucking hate this. Not only are there tics, but its like ADHD to the extreme. My main problem with tourettes is hard to pinpoint, but one way it manifests itself is my mental inability to not procrastinate. I know that sounds silly and fake, but for me it is not a case of willpower. For 4 months, i have been pushing myself day and night to do my sork, but can never seem to do it. Finally, I told my parents and am now in therapy. He explained to me how procastinating is impossible to beat with pure willpower, because it has to do with fight/flight. Humans view any form of hard work as a threat, and our brains think "we need to get out of here", because in the wild, it would be a physical threat that we would NEED to leave.
Now, that part is actually normal, but Tourette's syndrome is like the perfect storm to permanenelty erase any hope I have of being able to push myself to do a complete job on my work

I have a little bit of lisp. The right side of my head to my neck has been paralyzed. I recovered but my right face is forever stiff. I was diagnosed by a doctor as someone with a possibility of Neuralgia due to the symptoms that occurred.
I have frequent headaches, I would aspirate, frequent twitching of my right facial muscles in which sometimes I don’t realize that my face was twitching until the doctor told me it was happening.

@@chubby_cheesecake_cheeks honestly, I think I might have a less severe version of that, my one eye is always slightly more closed than the other, plus a crooked smile, and I have constant neck twitches(even ear and eye twitches?), neck pain, face pain and headaches, and very rarely a migraine would cause the drooping on one side to be pretty severe looking, almost like a stroke.
@@dimwitteddingo I've somehow recovered most of my facial movements. My sister has the more severe one because she can't smile the same way anymore. I was the lucky one who had that and got back most of my facial muscle function. Although my face would still feel stiff and I get severe migraines every now and then when triggered by something. The migraine makes the stiffness worse and the twitching.
As someone with diagnosed ADHD, I hate when I see people use it as a excuse for not doing their work or just simply ‘being QuiRky’. I understand that all people are different, but then people try to tell me I DON’T have ADHD because I’m not the stereotypical ‘tehEh hyper quirky’ person even though my mother has taken me to a actual doctor to confirm it.
ADHD makes it hard to focus and gets in the way of work I strive to complete. It’s not a aesthetic, and so isn’t other mental problems.
ADHD sucks so god damn much. i haven't been officially diagnosed with it but i have a SEVERE attention and focus problem. my dad has it so im asuming i got it from him too or some of it anyways. i dont like it at all. i can't work or have a job and that means i have to depend on someone else and i dont like that. ive been trying for decades to get better with it and nope, im still as unfocused as ever. there was this one time i smoked weed though and i had about 30 min of TOTAL FOCUS. it felt so good, you have no idea how good it felt to be able to focus and get something done. when that focus left me, i was so sad. so god damn sad.
i agree. people doubt that i have adhd and think im just a slacker because im not bouncing off the walls. the only reason im hyperactive is because i have learned to dial it back severely. (used to be a seat squirmer but now i just fidget with my fingers).it sucks when people don't understand that sitting still isnt even the big issue. it's meeting deadlines and arriving to places on time and not forgetting important dates. but apparently i have to yell "look a squirrel" in order to be taken seriously.
try caffine addiction. its worked wonders for me @@Parasiteve
AD-HD is the worst, I couldn’t focus in class that well because I kept getting distracted by kids talking and being loud. People faking it for attention should not be able to post.
I have ADHD and it has affected my school life and work in a really bad way. I constantly forget things, have bad time management skills, have terrible time perception, and I cannot focus at all. I never wanted ADHD and I still don't. It's disgusting that these fakers think that having disorders are quirky and fun. No, they are not fun, they are annoying and frustrating to deal with and I believe that many people who are diagnosed with mental disorders can agree with me.
The one with the person wanting to force a panic attack especially disgusted me because I have really bad anxiety and I have panic attacks pretty much every day and I wouldn't wish that on anyone who's not a sadist. It essentially makes life feel like purgatory. I've been living like this for so long that I was shocked to learn about 2 years ago that most people only have panic attacks a few times throughout their lives.
Waitt a few times ? In their lives ? I didn’t know that :')
As someone with high-functioning autism, ADHD and severe anxiety, thank you for calling these idiots out. It's not that evident--my worst tic is that I bite down on nothing to hear the click and it damages my teeth. I have an emotional support cat who helps with anxiety, and I had to manually learn all the things other people innately understand, like body language, eye contact, tone and inflection, etc. It's not something that obvious and it doesn't mean I can't sit still for 3 minutes. I'm not even medicated anymore. This is all complete bullshit and disgusts me so much to see online.
I also have autism, and this is disgusting. They don’t understand real life challenges, me, you, and everyone else with an actual diagnosis have. It’s horrible.
"I have an emotional support cat" is the greatest God damn sentence I've ever heard.
I have autism and have a neck twitch tic and sometimes it’s quite painful :( why would someone WANT that lol
I do as well, but I hate admitting it to anyone now because I feel like they'll just assume I'm jumping on the "mental health conditions are cool" bandwagon. It's so frustrating to live with these issues, and I certainly don't want attention for them. I also don't know how you can show you have these kinds of disorders in a video. It doesn't work that way. There is no set of defined behaviors that can be shown in a 3 minute video that demonstrates these conditions, much less give anyone any real insight into what it's like to live with them. It's just a bunch of people acting out stereotypes for attention.
@@productivestudylife5751 Same here. It varies depending on stimulation, mood, recreational drugs, etc but I’ve had a really strenuous neck tic due to Asperger’s for at least 20 years, I’m currently 28. The muscles and nerves in my neck are probably frayed from rolling my head around for so long and there definitely are times when I can control it but other times it’s unavoidable and is frequently very painful. It’s not the only movement tic I have either, I’ll roll my lower jaw around similarly as well as strain the joints in my fingers from the tics. It’s just so shameless and ignorant that this younger generation sees it as quirky and unique when in reality… nahhh bruh this shit is painful and embarrassing, why the fuck would you want this? Answer: you wouldn’t if you actually had to fucking deal with it every day.
I'm so happy everyone called her out and shut her down.
The only "disorder" she can rightfully claim -is her idiocy.
I am struggling to work out why the anxiety stuff has all the twitching. I have a general anxiety disorder diagnosis (which really doesn't mean anything), but it impacts a lot of things including OCD, Agrophobia, etc.
99% of the time I would say that nobody knows. I'm very good at masking my anxiety and dealing with it because it's an every day occurrence. I can't imagine anything that would make me feel more crippling levels of anxiety than showing that I have anxiety to the entire world. If you have an anxiety disorder you do everything you can to prevent it from getting worse.
If I could change just one thing about my life it would be for some magical cure for anxiety. I can deal with being anxious, but anxiety is the part about myself that I dislike the most.

The problem with DID is people glorify it and make it cute and quirky. It's not cute, it's a mental DISORDER caused by TRAUMA.
Another thing you have to realize is it's in this person's head. Like you can pretend they actually manifested a demon inside of themselves or you can realize their brain is pretending to manifest a demon to protect them from childhood abuse. Alters are coping mechanisms and you should be trying to CURE it instead of glamorizing and faking it. Nobody with DID that I know actually likes having Alters.
Edit: by cure I mean find healthier ways of coping
For real tho
I got counseling for panic disorder and I'm doing much better but seeing glamorization of anxiety has always bugged me. It's not cute and quirky, it's something that interrupts your daily life
SEVERE trauma, at that. The worst, most intense, disgusting thing you can think of done to a baby, triple it.
and the fakers always expect people to treat them as multiple people. no, you're just one person--even if you had the disorder, you'd still just be one person. and i doubt making a tiktok listing the names and pronouns of your alters would be healthy.
I had alters once... It was literally a burden and thanks to god I'm sane now, I really hate when people treat this like some kind of game or joke ;~;
I agree for the most part but trying to "cure" i dont think nothings wrong with them and i know people and friends who thing DID is a blessing for them and they couldntve gone through without them.

Same. Or they make it look like I can just turn it off. At times i feel I should be stronger and how dumb I am for getting that way so often

@@julianmendez4691 It depends, long term Anxiety usually happens AFTER birth. Like if a tragic event happened in your childhood or something. Horror games and movies might affect some with anxiety, but for me personally, no. It’s really only if I feel something is, off. Like if a song is off tempo or a book starts turning into gibberish halfway through without warning. Or the feeling that something (or someone) is always watching. That kind of stuff.
imagine these people grow up and actually understand that what they were doing was wrong and look back at this
That will never happen. Ww3 will happen and be over by the time that happens

i got my autism diagnosis just this autumn and because of this "trend" i still havent told anyone outside my closest closest friends and closest family because i am afraid this is what people will think i am doing. that i am an attention seeking faker.
the same goes for my depression and anxiety (diagnosed and medicated), i feel like people will think i am just trying to be quirky. it already is so hard to live with, and not being able to access resources that could make it a little bit easier because i fear being taken for a faker (even though i have plenty of papers from doctors and psychologists stating my diagnoses), makes it even harder.
this trend isnt about acceptance or spreading awareness, it just causes harm and i am so sick and tired of it.
I got my autism diagnosis last summer, and the only people I told are the others in my year with autism or suspected autism. (There's quite a few coz it's a 6th form attached to the highschool we all went to, so the environment and teachers are the smae as we had through highschool, so it was easier to cope with going to 6th form than collage)
I guess i'm lucky that I am in a year group that doesn't like fakers going for clout and will weed out those that are.
A few years ago, one girl in our year ended up in the psych ward for anxiety and depression, but it took ages for her to end up being found coz of the sheer amount of girls faking it in our year, so I guess that was probably the last straw. Most of the people stopped faking it after that.
There are now two replies
Don't worry to much our community is tightly knit and i hope you get the support you need. One autist to another.
I really hate how people try to copy ADHD. It's hurts me. To see people wanting this disorder, it's terrible. I have trouble doing basic things like work, or even sitting down for instance. I sit down to do work, then go to check the fridge to see if anything changed in the last few minutes. Then I want to play on my tablet, and eventually forget about my work. It's the worst thing ever , and it's something I would kill to not have. It's like a constant train of thoughts in your head. I don't know why you would want it...
These people make diagnoses harder to get for people who are actually undiagnosed. I’m trying to get diagnosed autistic and it’s hard because people think I’m faking when I struggle greatly.
Thanks a lot, Gen-z.
ikr, and I’m trying to get diagnosed with adhd bc I think I truly have it. the things people do to get attention
I’m so sorry for you, I’m going through kind of the same thing but I’m still a child (-13) and I can’t take control of my medical stuff yet and my father who is bipolar and already has experience with an autistic/Asperger’s child in his last marriage thinks me and my brother have autism or something, he mostly sees it in me because I’m a lot like my half-brother. It’s taking a while to get the evaluation appointment scheduled but I’m getting accommodations in class because I already have tics. I most of the time just say I’m autistic because I just have so many symptoms of it and it’d be easier to just say “I have autism” instead of “I have autistic traits” imo. I hope you can get your diagnosis soon!!!
THISSS
@@ameslame yeah me too but i’m just a kid(12)

as a person with DIAGNOSED tourette’s, depression, ADHD, and anxiety, it’s so desheartening when people are like this. no, tourette’s isn’t that random shudder you get. no, anxiety isn’t you just people nervous. no, adhd doesn’t mean you’re just a little hyper, you just had too much coffee. and NO, depression isn’t just being sad.
I have too many words myself. Being diagnosed on the spectrum as well as many other disorders I can say I'm very upset people want to pretend to even have this stuff. Makes me feel nauseated. And gives me a headache 🤬
I have ticks, have had them for eight months, but my mom doesn't believe in tourettes so I can't get diagnosed. But why else would I ram my hands into my head with my eyes screwed tight out nowhere? I can't control it and she got so mad at me for saying 'no' in an annoying voice and shaking my head. I don't know what she wants from me.
i know your pain, im diagnosed with ODD, ADHD, Asperger's, and Asthma, pains me to see people fake disabilities like this
@@doodlebob3797 buddy you should not self diagnose. I understand your mom doesn't believe in that stuff my mom was the same way, antivaxer too. But that didn't stop me from going to a licensed professional to get help with what was going on. After about a month of therapy with them they were able to properly diagnose me. Everyone is different and situations are never the same but I believe if you go and get properly diagnosed you will receive the help you need. I won't even attempt to diagnose you and tell you what's wrong because only a professional can do that. So I highly suggest doing that. Causes for hitting yourself could be anything from tourettes to bpd (border line personality disorder) which you can't get proper therapy if you don't know whats going on. I genuinely hope the best for you and whatever is going on. But try to remember this before saying you have a certain disorder. It can be insensitive if come to find out it wasn't true.
my man got the whole package lmaooo
It really upsets me, ive had epilepsy since the age of 15 (25 now)im on 3 different medications, the first thing you think about as am i going to die. I went thru 6 months of therapy after i attempted to hang myself. These people think its okay to self diagnose themselves? Saw someone faking a seizure while holding the phone trying to get clout. These lots should be banned from tiktok. Its offensive and disgusting.
“People just laugh at people who actually have it and nobody takes them seriously.” THATS EXACTLY CORRECT. That’s the issue. That’s why the stereotyping and stigma exists around mental health. First, no one wanted to talk about it, and now, people who don’t have it are faking it. What next? Killing the people who actually have it 😂😂
This!!,
Yeah. Some people will even deny their own disorders, thinking they're just making it up or that what they feel is normal, and they're just being dramatic. I denied my depression symptoms for a long time because I was scared I would be like those girls who would pretend to self-harm and have depression. I literally thought that losing all enthusiasm for life was just a normal part of being an adult.
Idk mannn these people seem so proud to display their "disability"/"disorder". Meanwhile we here (one of SEA country) tries soooo hard to cover our differences (in term of mental health) from the other. I mean it's not wrong to be proud, but when these people who fake having disorder doing it, mannnnn people are shamelessly shameless.
The fact that even seeing a psychiatrist or psychologist and your neighbor finds out, they will label you as one of those things. 🤦♀️
When I was 5 my parents put me through ABA "Therapy " because they thought it would help me. They tied me down and repeatedly shocked me every time I showed any sign of Autism. They also violated me and physically abused me because I was non verbal at the time and couldn't tell anyone.
Now I have autism and ptsd.
But yeah you're soo quirky and kewl.
I'm so sorry. I worked as an ABA therapist for over a year (I'm autistic myself) and I'm glad that at least my company never used restraints or negative enforcement like that. That's barbaric. There are times where parents want us to correct stims and stuff but I have flat out refused to. Every clinic in my state is being closed in august and I have no plans on continuing working in ABA because I've just been feeling more and more gross about it. Even if all the technicians want to help kids build skills to function in life the way they are, it's the parents and administrators of the company who want us to "normalize" their children. It's just really depressing.
@@alyssasowell774 The best way to go about it think of it as what if I were in a wheelchair? Would you shock and restrain a kid in a wheelchair because you wanted him to walk, or would you implement laws and societal changes to help them enjoy life to the fullest as they are?
Sorry, you had to go through that. Its pretty shit really. Some kids just take a little longer through the stages than others. My older brother couldn't even use a toilet by himself until he was 8.
I had therapist for my anxiety issues a few years ago and we did a test to see if I had autism, let's just say the results came back I was pretty close to being on the spectrum. Instead I'm just forgetful, slow at learning, stupid. 🤣 I'm not entirely sure which is the better to be.. 🤔
Gosh. I can only imagine what that experience was for you.
I’m an advocate for autistic people’s autonomy (and as an autistic person myself).
The “therapy” that has been preached to the masses is incredibly disgusting and needs to be dismantled.
Also, these experiences of the people in the video may be valid but I just cannot wrap my head around people faking these disorders for clout.
Disgusting.
thats awful, and it has been proven that shock therapy as well as alcohol damages brain cells so what they did to you sadly only made it worse, i hope they got punished for everything they did to you.
As a person with ADHD and anxiety. I'm annoyed by all these people faking disorders for attention.
Parents: “Fuck you, my child is completely fine!”
The child:
i've also seen people faking seizures and as someone who frequently has seizures those hurt the most personally lol
yes
i can see ur pain behind ur lol
When I was still a child, I remember seeing my little sister having a seizure... Scariest crap I ever seen...
@@Invixnlty 😔✊
@@MuhmmdSyhm i'm sorry you had to go thru that
As someone who is diagnosed with Social Anxiety and Depression, listening to a tiktok audio doesn’t trigger us. They’re the reason people don’t take us kids serious 🤦🏽♀️
Honestly an unbearably vocal dimwitted minority shouldn't be all what it takes to stain the reputation of the entirety of a mostly educated group. Take 9/11 for example. It only took a few delusional extremists to get a concerning portion of the USA to judge Muslims in a bad fashion. Anyone who uses serious issues like mental disorders as a clout generator need to get banned from TikTok. TikTok should stop the mental disorder trend. There are much better places for posting about your mental disorders than TikTok.
@@d1kgaws12 I have no idea what your saying but I think I agree

Not sure. There’s the Special Olympics and the Turrets one.

@@RandomGal111 not to forget that millenials do the same shit
Agreed
Imagine putting your OC's as your personality disorders
As someone with anxiety and mild depression, I find it insulting to have something I struggle with on the daily be belittled and used for content by these brain dead tiktokers who don't know how genuinely difficult it is to live with the constant fear of being judged and hated ON TOP of not wanting to wake up everyday just because you feel like such a failure. They need to get over themselves and raise awareness, not make a mockery.
Me living with autism, anxiety, Tourette’s, and possible adhd and ocd, I find these tiktokers very offensive, I’ve always hated TikTok, it’s where the mentally screwed up kids go and create more mentally screwed content, to then mentally screw up more kids.
TikTok = hell, Satan, all things cringy, misinformation and harmful content
@@Julia_Mwa I'm truly sorry for your struggles and I hope that you are well. I also pray that these people learn that it's not okay to exploit and romanticize mental illness/disorders for clout
I relate way too much with your comment :( that feeling of not wanting to wake up cause you feel like a failure…and ya, these attention seeking kids are making it worse for people like us….
Hope you get better and keep fighting against all those dark/warped thoughts. You are loved
I don’t want to imagine that feeling. I have social anxiety, and thinking about people not taking it seriously because of these TikToks makes me feel sick.

As somebody who has actually been diagnosed with severe anxiety, I can say that that lady is just fidgeting, you dont just get anxious over sitting in a room. You have a thought that you can leave your head.
This girl with the green hair has been called out so many times, has she no shame? How does she keep producing these videos
dang the first time i saw that person i thought it was true- i really need to stop being gullible-
The irony in them doing this for attention is I DON'T want people to give me attention for my disorders. In high school my principal outed my mental health struggles to the class when I left the room and everyone gave me looks of pity and/or disgust when I came back. It caused me to have to take the rest of my senior year courses online at home bc I was so humiliated.
The only thing is she at least didn't out my actual diagnosed disorders (PTSD, bipolar and anxiety) but it was still traumatizing. So yeah, as someone with actual disorders and having a close family member with disorders this is so disgusting to see. I'm glad there's people like you making videos to create awareness about this though.
(Also I've always been pretty good at hiding my anxiety so seeing videos about these fake people having "obvious signs" of it is kind of ridiculous lol)
Fuck...thats rough. That principal deserves a special place in hell.
@@squirlis1189 I'm pretty sure he meant well, even though he shouldn'g have done that
Why'd you make a comment naming your supposed disorders then? Honestly comes off just like these people.
as someone with issues too, i also dont like them brought to light. just leave me alone, i wanna be normal. idk wtf your principal was thinking telling everyone you had a mental issue. did they think the whole school would just rally you and do all your work for you or something?? there really was no reason for others knowing of your disability. especially when its not evident you have one. itd be diff if you were in a wheelchair because then people could see it but with mental issues its diff.
@@Copeandseethe822 it's a youtube comment. They're basically anonymous.
