Why does everyone want to have some kind of disorder?!?!
Question: This may not be a "real" question, but some of the answers may amuse me. I want your opinions.
I know so many people who have "bipolar disorder" and "ADD" and all this other crap. ADD has GOT to be one of the stupidest things I ever heard of.
I'm tired of "Oh I can't do my homework, I have ADD!"
No, shut up. You do not have ADD. If someone was holding a gun right now telling you to do your homework, I'm PRETTY sure you'd be able to focus, idiot!
ADD, I like to call it "lack of discipline"
And all these other people who say they're bipolar... oh wow. "I'm bipolar because I have ups and downs!"
Great. That means your a normal person with normal emotional mood swings. Congratulations.
Or better yet, people think they have a disorder because their doctor tells them so. NEWS FLASH. Doctors want to prescribe pills to get MONEY. They'll tell you anything you wanna hear if they think you'll buy it with a bottle of prozac.
Am I the only one who is getting tired of all this crap?

Guys, relax.
I think he/she was saying they hate it when people WANT to have disorders, and pretend they do, or claim they do...or even THINK they do - when they don't.
People always looking for something to be "wrong" with them and such.
I don't think he/she meant any disrespect for those of us who actually do have disorders. Just those who don't and want to, and/or claim to, and try to get attention from these things.
Poorly worded, perhaps, but I don't think the question poster is as ignorant and offensive as they were interpretted to be by most of you.
Like, people who are all "OMG I THINK I HAVE DEPRESSION" when they get sad because a pet dies, or because plans got cancelled. Of course you feel sad, that's normal. It's not a disorder.
People saying they are "OMG I AM HAVING A PANIC ATTACK OVER THIS EXAM!"...it's normal to be nervous about an exam. And what these people are experiencing is in no way a panic attack.
People saying they must be bipolar because they have mood swings - when normal people have mood swings all the time, and these people have no idea what a bipolar mood swing is really like.
I dunno, that was just my interpretation of what she wrote. If she means what I took it as - I agree.
I get mad at people who are just hopping from doctors to find pills too. Everyone does. . . .
But your ignorance really astounds me. I hope that you never find out you have something. I really hope you never need treatment for ANYTHING. I used to feel this way until I was diagnosed with a lifelong disease. I promise, you might see things differently. Instead of getting mad, try compassion. It's sad when people feel that they need to call their emotions some sort of disorder to validate them. That means that someone in their life made them feel like their emotions and feelings didn't matter.
I'd examine myself long and hard before really admitting to having such strong feelings about others in this world. Karma's a b**** .
Yes, some people do legitimately have mental disorders, but I think that other people want to have these so they have an excuse to slack off and misbehave. It's ridiculous the number of people that are diagnosed with these disorders. Not all of them could have it.
Wow.... learn about mental illness before you start making comments like this. Bipolar mood swings are not the normal mood swings.
Because people are always looking for a reason as to why their life sucks!
9 out of 10 times people think that the reason something in their life isn't going right, they must need a pill to justify it or try to make it better. I have a neice like this, must be on at least 3 or 4 meds at a time when the real sickness she has is that she's just a lazy biieetch.
umm doctors can't do that
thats illegal for them to do and they could get arrested
well, I do not know how old u r, but ignorance is not a good thing to poste in a question for everyone to read. I'm 29 and I have a severe case of bipolar that affetcs my daily life. My mood swings are unbearable at times and uncontrollable. Without meds, I could not function normally. It ticks me off when people who do not understand things try to judge people and put them down. Get sum more info and know what u r talking about before u post things like this. thank you.
I couldnt even read all of your "question" You're ignorant! ADD is real... Its not that they cant do their homework... It causes them to lose focus. I read things and have to re-read them because I forget what it says. Its just harder for some people to overcome.
