Mental illness fakers are unbearable
I hate when people self-diagnose themselves ,with the mental health disorder and exaggerate the symptoms. Because a stupid test online told them that they have the mental health disorder they're like,"oh yeah I'm definitely depressed, I'm definitely bipolar."

You just reminded me of someone i had in school. She was like that.. and the annoying thing is that everyone believed her for whatever she said. Now she had some diagnoses but she likes to over exaggerates everything. Even going after mine.
