dang. i have diagnosed OCD, panic disorder, depression and PTSD. ive never tried to file
do you live in the US?
@wtfwtfwtfwtf i also have autism, but i feel embarrassed to tell people because it's become a trend for people to pretend they have autism so i feel like when i mention it, people assume im just one of those people. spoke with my NOCD provider tonight and i might actually be able to get on disability.
It’s extremely difficult. You have to have extreme things, like schizophrenia or Autism. I only know of one person who’s on disability for her Schizophrenia and yeah, she can’t hold down a job because her medication works, but not enough to be sort of the community. They don’t usually go for OCD because it can definitely be treated successfully whereas schizophrenia… well, not everyone can function or stay in this reality even with intense drug and therapy.

@wtfwtfwtfwtf unfortunately i saw it on tiktok alot, and then people would admit that they faked it and i just didn't understand the reason for it. thats what made me paranoid about talking about it
@wtfwtfwtfwtf People on Tik Tok absolutely do. Many have been caught. Hence why you don’t trust anyone on Tik Tok.
@wtfwtfwtfwtf Yes, you can get caught when you just pretend you have, for example, Tourette’s or Schziophrenia. If you don’t believe me, then Google tik tokers getting Cushitic faking Tourette’s. I don’t care enough about this conversation to keep going because I’m not on Tik Tok 🤣 People lie all the time. I don’t trust anyone on the internet for this reason. Good luck though.
@wtfwtfwtfwtf oh no, im not talking about people who dont access to a diagnosis. when i had tiktok, i saw a few people who actually went back on their claims because they felt guilty and couldn't "upkeep" with the lie they were portraying. i myself was self diagnosed with OCD before I had the means to get a clinical diagnosis. while i did get diagnosed with autism at age 4, mine also presents a bit different than the autistic stereotype. for those on social media who were faking it for a character, it was extremely harmful how they were doing so. they were infantilizing autistic people.
