I just came across a few Tik Toks of people faking disorders with tourettes and such...
As someone with tourettes? This pissed me off.
When I was younger I was bullied a lot for this stuff, people acted like I was having seizures called me twitchy and spazz, mocked the tics I had.
Even the teachers kept telling me I was faking it and sent me to detention multiple times for it.
It's not fun to have, to be seen as a freak and an outcast because you can't control yourself.
To have kids stare at you like your a freak of nature or that you're unstable.
My sister has ADHD. And again, she hates it so much. Not being able to be like very one else, having to take meds, people getting pissed off because she can't stay still for more than 15 minutes.
We both has anxiety, it happeneds pretty easily, but mocking it like pacing around a room during a sound track for attention is disgusting in so many ways.
I could go down a list of my disorders and issues.
From PSTD to Separation Anxiety.
From my sister's ADHD and ADD.
Or my fathers severe PTSD.
I'm never one to go off like this, but these things had ended lives on suicide terms and ruined childhoods. They aren't fun.
They never will be...
