Again, we can only see one segment of the story.

But, building on what OE said, due to a hormonal condition called PMDD, at specific times of the month I can be very irritable. It's nothing like bipolar disorder, but my dad (for his own various reasons) was trying to convince people that I had bipolar because I had bad PMS, basically. Yeah...He can **** off... Again, only seeing one side of the problem and also he wanted to negate my PTSD diagnosis caused by his abuse by saying I am bipolar (not bipolar, had many, many evaluations to try and confirm this).

What I do think is necessary are better diagnostic tools for pdocs and Ts. I feel that they often make quick diagnoses in one session, and most clients can't even open up in one session or build enough trust to say what's really going on. After 15 minutes they're going to prescribe brain chemistry altering drugs? Really? Sorry, I digress. Didn't mean to hijack. You get my point.
Oh I totally agree. And yeah we can’t assume someone’s diagnosis is wrong as well. I’m sorry you had to deal with that. Yeah my dad tried to convince me I have autism just because I was obsessed with Christmas lights when I was like 2. What child is not obsessed with anything involving Christmas? People can be arrogant and stuck up and believe they have the answers to everything.

Sure. It lets me know that I've inspired some emotion in them. When I was younger and impatient, I'd do stupid **** like that all the time because it was an easy way to provoke people. Now I try to stick to the arts as a way to move people. It's slower and more difficult, but the challenge is a part of the fun, and it's ultimately more fulfilling.

I completely understand this. Sometimes its just funny to provoke ppl, playing around with them etc.

But now I have to be careful, because a couple of days ago I got a ban on a forum, the reason "troll and unwanted spam"

People dont get any humor xd what I was doing was very funny

Lately I was diagnosed with "trolling disorder" a psychiatrist said its very hard to cure but I am not giving up. At some point I was even trolling my psychiatrist. I dont even know when I am doing this.

I am taking xanax. Still have some urges to play around with people, but I have to be strong for my family. I will appreciate any emotional support my friends
Thanks for this!

YES, some professionals are too quick to diagnose and prescribe brain chemistry altering drugs.

I am sure lots of women were misdiagnosed and misunderstood due to some significant menstral challenges too. I struggled with endometriosis for a long time, pms was horrible and cycles were painful, doesn't mean I had any other mental health challenge.

I totally agree. People, even professionals, are too quick to judge.

Self diagnosing and armchair psychiatrists are about as reliable as the Meyers Brigg test.

I agree. It is not good to self diagnose other people, and even ourselves too even though I never talk about that in my original post. Sometimes it's even tempting to diagnose ourselves, I've tried doing that back in high school, and it doesn't work. If anything, it can drive you crazy and make you worry since it will say you have stuff that you really don't. But yeah, self diagnosing others is not reliable either.
Thanks for this!

Good to know. I am getting a bit bored so I am keen to check this
But I think the problem is when you write about things not related to the topic.
Just like me now

So yeah like I said they shouldnt diagnose ppl, its very rude XD

In my village, they are some old ppl constantly talking about someone. They are gossiping all the time about everything and everyone. They are very inquisitive, low ppl, want to know everything. If I would like to know what happens in my area, just ask them and they will tell you everything.

I am not mad at them, because I am the same Maybe I will hang out with them

Yeah I agree, it's best to stick to the original topic. Feel free to message me if you want to talk about something unrelated though. And yeah the smaller the place you live in or even a school or workplace you go to, the higher the chances people will gossip and it will spread like wildfire.
