Obsessive perfection

[SarahsNY]

If you believe you’re affected, I’m sorry and I wish you the best lotus! I understand it can be tough. Regardless, the title of this post is not okay, as it wouldn’t be acceptable for me to phrase it this way either. Also, I don’t believe anyone is mad at you specifically, unfortunately there’s just so much trivialization of OCD out there that people such as myself get upset about the general situation.

It’s okay, take this as a learning experience! I use to use the term “ADHD” to describe things before I knew better, no one is perfect, it’s just good to be informed and better the lives of others even in small ways.

Also PERSONALLY I think that all people are so unique that to put people into a category and say they are diagnosed with ocd which is such a broad spectrum I find it very unfair and even more debilitating for those who have been diagnosed with that by government agencies. Because obviously everyone's different

If it's not okay for me to say ocd why is it okay for government agencies to label millions of people with ocd.. who are all completely different.. I think that being obsessive compulsive is kindve a thing that everyone can have and weather they get labeled with it or not they are perfectly perfect just the way they are and I also dont believe in taking medications from said government agencies which us another reason why I would never go get help and I decide to help myself and you say that to come to u to talk about ocd well I decided to come here to talk about it is that any different nope freedom of speech people

Speaking not only as a person diagnosed with a mental illness but also as a psychologist, diagnosis of disorders is useful for applying the right treatment and medications for people. Leaving people to suffer because of the idea of labelling is dangerous. I would be in a very different place right now if it was decided it was best not to 'label' me with a certain disorder and given proper help. Same for my boyfriend, mother, sister and step-dad.

Uh, wow that was demeaning lotus. I don’t think I’m “unique” for having a mental illness. It’s literally just what I have. Personally those “government agencies” helped me greatly learn how to cope, and my diagnosis gave me closure as I now understand why I behave the way I do, and that it’s okay.

I believe I’ll stop commenting now, I’ve tried to be kind and helpful but I’m at my limit! Regardless, I wish you and the other users here the best.

Again you're taking what I said out of context. I didnt say that you were unique for having a mental illness. I said everyone is unique so to put a label on anyone IS WRONG and doesnt make sense personally I dont believe in labels at all because everyone is unique and cannot be defined by mental illness

We aren't defined by a mental illness. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't get help for it. My meds allow me to go and stand in front of my university class and do well, otherwise I would be a stuttering mess.

Also 'help' doesn't always mean meds. Therapy is a thing too.

 

[Lotusblossom]

I dont consider anyone to be mentally Ill.. I think were all unique and cannot be defined by any labels and the way psychologists and government agencies label and define people and then tell them they're wrong or tell them they need medication is very wrong

And therapists are not to be trusted. The government is not to be trusted. Psychologists are not to be trusted.. you want therapy look within. Thats a better idea because a y and z will all hurt you more by making u believe you have an "illness" or a "disorder" when really you're just perfectly you and thats fine

Please stop acting like this. What you are saying is very disrespectful and hurtful to those of us who have been given a diagnosis and treatment and are better off because of it. I am mentally ill. That doesn't mean I'm bad. I'm unique, but I can still fit into a category of GAD the way I fit into the category of 'dyed hair', 'green eyes' and 'fan of Animal Crossing'

And what's wrong with having a stutter? Nothing at all. But what I believe is wrong is the medications that said government agencies are feeding down your throat because they say something's wrong with you.. nothings wrong with your stutter nothings wrong with the way u think or speak or do... were all just humans and normal is another label that doesnt exist... the government is trying to change you and make u into somthing your not.. embrace your obsessive compulsion embrace your stutter and just love yourself and realize nothings wrong with you!!!! You're just perfectly you! I should not have used the label because I dont even believe in labels so sorry for doing so.

Okay, saying therapists aren't to be trusted and that therapy is fake is going way, way, way too far. I'm sorry but I'm going to be reporting this thread in the hopes that an admin will come and close this, because this discussion has gone on for way too long. All you are saying is harmful and untrue.

 

[Lotusblossom]

my friend went on depression medications and then he killed himself.. happens all the time. So no I will never do that. Sorry but I love myself and I dont believe I need medications or psychologist because no matter what I think were all perfect the way we are... and theres nothing wrong with anyone for being themselves... and maybe that's the problem is people saying theres something wrong with u and labeling u with a disorder.. were all just perfectly fine seriously.. accept yourself and others

Really. Because if u tell a therapist you want to die they will label you as depressed and put u in a psych ward where that wont help u at all and those meds might even kill you.. all a psychologist does is wrongly judge you and is so lazy that all they can think of is giving medications to try and change u Instead of accepting you for who you are and helping u to love yourself and realize nothing is wrong with you and that were all just unique but were all equal.. because that's what they're paid to do.. they cant see u as being unique they are looking at there text books and putting u into a category with other people who are nothing like you.. and then they give you the same meds... insane. All unnatural medications prescribed by oldschool doctors should not be trusted.. look into them and see how it's really treating you..




Imagine being a mother who just had a baby and is stressed out and then u tell your therapist you're depressed and then they put u in a psych ward and you're labeled as being depressed you could get your children taken from you just for being sad you think that's gonna help?? When you've lost your kids labelled as depressed and your kids are now in the system and u cant get them back because you're labelled with disorder.. the way you're treated after being labeled with any disorder is not FAIR and is WRONG to label anyone! It is wrong and the system is corrupt

This really is my last reply, but I AM a psychologist. Your comments about what we do are... really, really far from the truth.

I didnt say u were bad.. SOMEONE ELSE MUSTVE labelled u and told u somthing was wrong with u and now u believe that yourself.. IM TELLING U THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH U You're perfectly fine


Being labeled with a disorder is nothing like having blue hair

Let's get things back on topic here. The OP didn't mean any harm with their wording in their post, and it's been edited to better convey their meaning and feelings about the game. I understand that some of you felt that the mention of a specific disorder was inappropriate, but a private message to let the person know you felt about it would be far better than posting multiple off-topic replies as we've seen here.

OP and everyone else, you're free to discuss your perfectionism with the game or anything relating to this, but the discussions about mental illnesses and the like will need to either be stopped here or taken to PM. Thanks!

 

[Lotusblossom]

Just because u may have some anxiety doesnt mean that theyres anything wrong with u maybe it's the world we live in that's giving us this anxiety maybe that's the problem not you maybe the government agencies should work on helping the world be a better place collectively as a whole instead of labeling people as imperfect because the worlds a ****ty place that's debilitating because its ran by the government in the first place.. thats the real problem not you.. free your mind

I would sort of like to delete this but I do not know how.. so feel free to do so if its triggering others was not my intention I am only trying to help those who think there is somthing wrong with ANYONE to realize that there is nothing wrong with anyone with my own love and compassion towards them..

I feel very sorry for the world the way it's being "run" by the government and the way these various pills are being prescribed and the way the government is labeling people with disorders.. it's just not the way I believe is right... that's just my opinion

 

[DinoTown]

Please drop this like the admin has said. I am myself and I have GAD. That's not anything wrong, but it is my meds that keep me going through a day. It is very upsetting and triggering to have someone say I'd be better off not being able to function without my meds. That's the truth, so as the admin said, this needs to be dropped or taken to PM.

 

[Oblivia]

Sure, I'll go ahead and close it here. Everyone try to calm down, and remember that a private message would have been much better in this instance to let the OP know that their wording may be offensive to some.
