What sort of discussion could seriously take place? The only thing in this thread before all the silly was, "I have x," "I don't take meds," "I do." Were you expecting people to have a serious discussion on the challenges that people with mental disabilities face and how we can go about combating them?

Yes.
That's how these sort of threads should go.

hey, could be a serious thread

Look at his previous posts

[Doomonkey]

Yes.
That's how these sort of threads should go.

I'm not sure if that is actually possible on any non-heavily moderated forums. The exceptions being those dedicated to these sorts of discussions.

take the number of people who have veiwed the topic, then subtract it by the amount of people who have voted. that should be a rough estimate

The OCD one seems like people who like to see things in order, like this


Liking that doesn't mean you are ocd, it just means you enjoy seeing things in order. OCD is a hell of a lot more than that, and as someone said earlier in this thread, it isn't something you want to say you have. Actual OCD isn't something pleasant.

So, OCD is usually an example of people who self diagnose. Most people who claim to have it dont actually have it.

So using proper words = "tumblr cigarette"
Okay.. I'm not going to let that stop me though. No one said you have to look at my post

I think it could easily be possible. I'm not sure why some people have such trouble with it.

I'd like to make the distinction between deciding one has it and self-diagnosing. To decide one has it, one must merely decide one has it. To self-diagnose, one must talk to people who have the issue, do many, many hours of research on the issue, consider whether one's thoughts and experiences actually indicate it or if they merely like the idea, and things like that. Unfortunately, people who just decide that they have an issue, especially OCD, tend to call it self-diagnosis, which makes it a lot harder.
