And it sounds like you’re diagnosing someone based off a blog post.
By the way, don’t tell someone who is disabled and was hospitalized several times with a mood disorder that they’re gatekeeping a disorder. I can assure you, I know more than you do about mental illness, It’s genetics, and its environmental factors.
And how would what you're doing differ from "diagnosing someone based off a blog post"? You've decided they don't have it. Do you have information other than the blog post that allowed you to come to that conclusion?
Because he said he did not have it. Not me. He said he does not suffer from it. If he is not suffering from it why would one consider it to be a disorder?
"By the way, don’t tell someone who is disabled and was hospitalized several times with a mood disorder that they’re gatekeeping a disorder."
Why not?
I'm not saying it's what you're doing here, but it's quite common for sufferers of a particular condition to gatekeep their labels and online communities.
I do it myself!
Typical example: "Everyone is a little bit ADHD." Um, sure... but I can 99% guarantee it is being said in bad faith to discredit actual suffering. GTFO!
Actually, at times it makes me lack empathy and kindness for myself and then I try to die by my own hands.
What you see as a lack of kindness and empathy is a reaction to the disability porn that those of us who are struggling have to endure from the general population.
FWIW, the author definitely has ADD/ADHD based on their descriptions.
