Has Anyone Here Been Wrongfully Diagnosed By Random People?
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have social anxiety disorder and people assume that I'm autistic. I am greatly offended by this and hurt. Even my own mother wrongfully thought I was autistic. Also when people learn you have a mental illness they automatically assume you're bipolar. It goes to show how uneducated people are about mental illness.

When people assume.. you know the old saying ...they make an ass out of.. well let's say themselves. It's up to us to educate them a little. They say something wrong tell them the right thing. Stand up for yourself. And for others suffering. Either that or just shake your head and let them remain an ignorant ass and laugh.

I go shopping at night when less people are there. I can only tolerate crowds at shows, but even then it's hard because everyone's drunk and I'm the only sober one.
