“Just get therapy? Why don’t I strap on my therapy helmet, and squeeze down into a therapy cannon, AND FIRE OFF INTO THERAPYLAND, WHERE THERAPISTS GROW ON THERAPIES?!!!”
<sarcasm> Really? That annoying person on tiktok who thinks autism is just quirkiness and getting out of stuff for no reason can’t help me with my mental health? Bonkers! I thought they could! </sarcasm>
<snarky> In other words, water is wet. </snarky>
<genuine/serious> Sorry that happened, person you thought would help sounds a bit mean </genuine/serious>
I do know, but also there’s better parts of social than the “[INSERT DISIBILITY HERE] isn’t hard to live with or a disability, it’s just quirky” types to get advice from, like, say, people with the condition, or professionals doing a thing online as well (a lot are online for free)
Obviously there’s more than that, but you (probably) get the gist of it. There is free help and self-help out there, it can just take some time to look, and yes, there’s probably some good ones on tiktok, but I don’t have the energy to find those right now, and I was specifically calling out the “I’m so happy to have [serious condition] it’s so quirky” group.
sorry if this is long (looks long from my side lol because links)

Me: “Can I get a referral to a therapist?”
GP: “Uh huh… so, I’m going to need you to take a drug test.”
Not to mention it’s (usually) expensive
Got it for free, it comes down to “you don’t look depressed”.
No shit, I thought you would help!
So they told her I look depressed. I was not depressed, just literaly grieving.
Got some perspective on things, was still on my own.
Guess what: you need an actual neurologist to help treat your brain disorder, not someone to tell you the obvious.
