    This is pretty rude to be honest and I can’t believe rhetoric like this gets voted up.

    This trivializes all parties, steers people in wrong directions and generally is just actual unwarranted or wanted, fake medical advice.

      Sorry, I have trouble identifying when I’m being rude. To me it just seems like obvious pattern matching.

      It’s hardly trivial though. It’s not like I’m sitting here undiagnosed and spouting nonsense. This is my life. And it’s not hard to see myself in many other people here.

      It gets upvoted because those people feel seen and represented. Which is nice for once. To be welcome someplace as a person and not infantalized or shunned.

      And yes, if I start giving medical advice please call me out. But this ain’t that.
