(tw: mentions of eating disorders)
- you are against self-diagnosing with extensive research.
like huh?? a diagnosis doesn’t give you a disorder or mental illness tf
- you don't include disabled people in your activism.
- you demonize cluster b disorders e.g say things like 'narcissistic abuse', use psychopath/sociopath in derogatory ways or etc.
- __you infantilize or romanticize any illnesses or disorders __ it’s omgg mental health awareness until a mentally ill person acts mentally ill. a depressed person not showering? brushing their teeth? changing their clothes? eww how nasty/s
- you think that because you can't see the disability it "isn't that bad." and you think mental & invisible disabilities are just as valid.
- you refuse to use tone tags and/or mock them & people who need them.
- you believe disorders/illnesses have ‘looks’ eg: "you don't look autistic" "you don't look depressed" "you don't look ____" etc.
- you spread misinform about disorders or illnesses.i am looking at you tiktok fuckers.
- you make mental health a competition or brag about your weight to someone with disordered eating. or you flex your weight on the internet (with pictures) knowing it causes relapses. ihysm burn in hell
- you support edtwt/tiktok e.g if you are a public ed account who says they're "not pro ana" you're still promoting eds by posting about your ed on a public platform esp tiktok your videos can end up on ANYONES fyp.
- you support the bmi scale the bmi scale was modeled off of all white cis males so inherently its wrong racist, fatphobic and not inclusive to all body types.
