I have no disorders or medical conditions. It's called life and each and everyone of us goes through it.

A harsh personal trauma is a reasonable excuse for certain behaviour but c'mon. If you haven't been through that then you are just going through life like the rest of us.

We all go through similar emotions unless we visit a shrink and then we can acquire names for the same emotions that we all go through.

Again I have stated that certain things DO happen to people and it is understandable that they feel that way and I respect that. But 80% of us just think too much and are desperate to have an ailment to hide beneath.


I just think people should try to be mentally tougher instead of hiding behind a medical term.
