Hi @caraben25
Im sorry you have faced that, though there is still a taboo around mental health with some people, there does seem to be a lot more understanding these days. There is always more to be done but I hope you enjoy it here on the community, we are a friendly group and we have lots of members who have mental health challenges.

@caraben25 i say, twos up to the arrogant misunderstanding people who fail to understand the complexity of how the human mind works and god forbid if they ever contract any form of mental health themselves, because i very much doubt that they would take their own advice and "grow up" sorry this is one of the things that really annoys me. @Spibes, chance for you to make a new friend here with some common ground x

I'd never said : ) but I guess that it's a form of triggered words ("your word" + "common/known paired word"), complexes, Dunning–Kruger effect, and/or just a simple failure in thinking of the logic forms (a temporary deficit such as in the state of being smashed or a persistently low intellectual capacity. You can take a look at the failure in the logic when you compare a few statements:
First:
A cat is an animal
A dog is an animal
Therefore, a cat is a dog
Compare with:
A mental delay is a mental health issue
That your disorder is a mental health issue
Therefore, that your disorder is a mental delay
Second:
A cat is an animal
A dog is an animal
A cat is associable with the sound: "meow"
Therefore, a dog is associable with the sound: "meow"
Compare with:
A mental delay is a mental health issue
That your disorder is a mental health issue
A mental delay is associable with the growth delay
Therefore, that your disorder is associable with the growth delay
Don't you like secrets? It's not just a mental delay... You also scarry and lay under the beds of small kids when they try to sleep. You should think to not say or say and, in the same manner, wait till your manager will speak that you're a psychopath and dangerous for your colleges in any higher function or at all on the same workplace, exactly from the same reason as with the mental delay : ))) Meantime, If you've got 3 bosses considering your mental state, if I round full integers, there's almost the probability 1:1 that one of them is a psychopath while 16% of managers are psychopathic and also 21% of CEOs. Just, they don't know about themselves, who's the real one : ))) On the other hand, a movie-like psychopath doesn't exist, the term even isn't in the usage, just in movies, but movies feed the imaginary. They "know you" from movies in all points of their views.

I totally agree @AnkyieSpon there are only certain people I will talk to about this. Even if they don't say anything they sort of look at you different.

@XenasMum do you not also find some people are the opposite and suddenly become experts? Which is so annoying because they know all the cures.Tina(Ankyie Spon)

@AnkyieSpon I think I've been quite lucky tbh and not had that much although I seem to find people who say that they are sick of medication and stop taking it and they're fine. There's no way I could stop meds as I'm too worried about how it would affect me. But I am choosy over who I tell as I find it hard to stand up for myself

@XenasMum you shouldn't have to defend yourself. If people refuse to understand you can only try to educate them otherwise don't worry as your health is priority not if they understand. If it's work that doesn't understand then that is another issue.Tina(Ankyie Spon)

BBC said quarter of the population have mental health problems. (?!?!)

You've made a very rational point, but, unfortunately, the math doesn't show up to work on all. For example, you can often hear people speaking that they are "anyhow superlative" in a comparison to a "mental" and the same kind of people use to say: "all of us are above the average" (I don't mind that it's never based on proofs). That's controversial but still not absurd, however, the absurdity come, I see the same people talking about huge numbers. It's sad to be all the years watching people who don't understand the meaning of the average or that within their great numbers, you can find between them the vast or even all kinds of disorders, and surely also the intellectual deficit which is many times more common than the usually unrelated but targeted mental health issues.
To be honest, 1/4 or 1/1000000, when I see someone **** off mental health issues, in the most common scenario, later, I see the same people smoking a weed or getting something better for their breakfast, all the times with running noses when leaving toilets. Others, they just drink but I'd never seen anyone with a mental health issue who wasn't capable of counting fingers of a hand.You can feel free to get in touch
