I'm going to go get diagnosed for bipolar disorder, OCD and depression. Already social anxiety avoidant personality disorder down. It'll be a piece of cake.

You should get diagnosed for that stick up your ass, too.

Would you guys agree that it's really easy to get diagnosed with any of those disorders? S'all I'm sayin', brah's. Not saying Creed doesn't have bi-polar disorder. Not saying that I don't have any of those disorders. I fit the bill on every single one.

Sure, if you lie. Why would you want to? It's not like the meds or treatment is fun.
As far as fitting the bill, the definitions of terms used in diagnostic criteria are not necessarily the same as one in common usage.

Yeah, brah, I agree.
What I don't understand is your need to bring that up here. Just can't help being a fucking douchebag, can you?

But don't get it removed. It may be the only thing holding you upright.

I'd say it's easy, even if you don't lie. A lot of people fit the bill. The ones used for diagnostic criteria are still easy to fit into, but that's assuming the one diagnosing actually goes by criteria and doesn't just smack a label on your forehead.

I'm just wondering when you're going to move on from the same, tired routine you've been doing for so long. We get it. You don't care about anyone else's problems, and you enjoy being a dick about it.
It's time to try a new schtik.

My original post here was meant to be food for thought. I've already said that I wasn't implying that creed didn't have bi-polar disorder or that I don't have any of the disorders I said I was going to get diagnosed with. Basically, a lot of people are diagnosed with disorders. A LOT of people. So much people are diagnosed with disorders, that maybe, these people aren't suffering from a disorder. Maybe they're exactly how they should be. That isn't to say the way their feeling loses credibility or that they shouldn't seek help, just because I refuse to call it a disorder. What it's called doesn't change the feeling. If you feel messed up and want help, go get it if you wish. I should've been more direct.
