baku:

the way that tumblr treats mental health is really bad. there’s a weird culture on this site where nothing but misinformation is spread and text posts like ‘that bpd feel when you listen to the same song over and over’ get thousands of notes without a single person questioning it

this site honestly makes mental health issues into something ‘cool’ and also encourages never recovering. phrases such as ‘we cant all be neurotypical karen’ become more popular than ‘even if there is no cure, there is always treatment’, and when actually mentally ill people share coping mechanisms, they’re accused of being neurotypical. instead of helping each other and supporting each other, it feels like this site just wants to keep people miserable forever and discourage any attempts to recover.

its extremely damaging. i hope it changes. as a mentally ill person, taking a step back from the popular rhetoric that goes around on this site did me a great deal of good. i recommend it.
