Ladies: Is this woman just ignorant?!
Question: Some guy said on here that ADD and OCD are both just made up and medication isn't needed, so I went off on the guy because that was wrong, and also this female user answered "Darlin, lol, you can add Bi-Polar and anger management issues to your OCD....Please get help"
Millions of people have ADD/OCD, and why am I treated like a joke? BTW, I do not have bi-polar. I've already had a psychological evaluation.
Why's this bothering me so much?

you shouldn't be asking just the ladies about this.
it goes for everyone.
people are idiots. they don't think anything exists since they
don't have the problem someone else has.
i have bipolar disorder and ADHD, i'm 18...i can't count
how many times there have been people calling my parents
names because i was put on stimulants since the 2nd grade for my ADHD. the people who do it are the ones who are perfectly normal.
i hate ignorant people....it REALLY ******* hurts.
it's bothering you because you actuallly care...
some don't and it's very stupid of them not to because
the person is being discriminative.
it's like how people used to have slaves.
the white dudes thought they were high and mighty
because they could control the women..and they could
control the black community just because they aren't
like them. white women were basically treated just as badly
as colored people did...because they weren't 'white men'
ya know what i'm saying? and there are many many people
in this country that continue to think different races AND women need to be put back on leashes and made into sex slaves. i mean yes...i am white, i am a guy..but i am a gentleman, says my grandma :) but you know....i have HIGH RESPECT for all races and definitely women...just because they have darker skin tone or because someone is a lady doesn't mean they are freaks and that goes for gay people. i stuck up for one of the nicest girls i ever met back in 9th grade when we both went to a private school, she was a butch and got picked on by the kids AND EVEN THE TEACHERS!! oh those lutherans let me tell ya.
it's all because they're different...and that's what i hate.
i'm sorry to go on some story thing, but i'm just trying
to realate it to other things....
medication was invented because psychologists and scientists KNEW there was some psychological issue and can be solved by medication.
it's llike saying to someone with cancer they cannot get surgery because it is not 'obvious'. it is not visible.
cause that's how it is with ALL mental disorders. you can't see it. but there ARE ways to prove they exist...such as CT scans of the brain..look it up on google, they're really something cool to look at.
people like that don't need to be in the mental health section if they're gonna be rude and stupid. "add Bi-Polar and anger management issues" that cracked me up...she seriously said that?? how could you be manic but also have anger management issues??hahaha...i mean yeah...some severe manics could get some anger management classes, but when you have BP...the anger is just because of mania, not because you have anger management issues.
see..obviously she didn't have a clue what she was talking about!!!
tell em to read a psychology book and then **** off.
people who say that DONT EVEN BOTHER TO READ ABOUT IT!!
god i love this nation.
NOT.
but, you know what....people like that should make you motivated. you should take the fuel of that anger your building up from what they're saying and lead a better life than they will ever. there are MANYYYYYYYYY successful and famous people out there who have mental disorders.
einstein was one of them.
you don't need help, well yeah if the ocd is getting very out of hand you should consider it....but don't listen to it...i know it's very hard not to, but just laugh at them. they're idiots and they're too lazy to actually read about it.
think about it this way, if someone at your job says it, you can sue em. :)
OH and..
not everybody needs therapy if they're on meds.
the person who said that obviously does not have
any problems at all.
like i said, i have bipolar disorder [severe mania] and ADHD. i went to therapy for a total of 3 weeks in the first month of my medication, but the therapist was an idiot and didn't respect my feelings so i refused to go back [this was last march] and since then..i've been stable on my own. i take a mood stabilizer and adderall xr....i'm doing just fine. my family has helped but this is my body and my mind im in control of it with my medication. i mean i'm only 18..i had to grow up fast because of the BP....but it was worth it. severe mania is controllable. i controll it everyday and i will for the rest of my life. i get amazing grades now,my gpa is a 3.2, in honors english and psychology, take karate classes, play the keyboard and guitar and sing to get all of my bad emoitons out.
it's all about how badly you want to be okay again.
so take it from just a kid, keep your head up high
and NEVER back down. don't let others make you feel small, cause one day...you're gonna crush all those who spit in your face and you'll be so damn proud of yourself.
There is a saying "Ignorance is bliss" It seems that she is ignornat. You are not--this is why it is upsetting you.
I'm afraid I don't believe in ADD or OCD either. However if you believe in it, that's your prerogative.
She was probably just trying to be funny. i know, it wasn't. Mental health rarely is. she's just some girl on the internet. Don't let it get to you.
Then again, so am I.
because you have the problem or whatever. if someone was saying stuff about my skin condition like that i would be mad also. but then again people are going to say stuff about it so you have to just forget them
most likely it is bothering you because of the OCD you have... depending on how bad/serious it is... if it were me it would bother me also... i have OCD and ADHD... my only advice is to do your best to try and not let them get to you... it will be hard but you can always try...
maybe
I want to know why your therapist has not helped you to explore the issues that cause your ADD/OCD. Medication without therapy is simply treating the symptoms and not the cause...
