Because now mental health disorders have gone mainstream. And for all the good its brought people like me who have been given therapy and stuff, theres a lot of bad its brought too.Because now people use the phrase OCD to describe minor personality quirks. Oooh, I like my pens in a line, Im so OCD.NO YOURE FUCKING NOT.Oh my God, I was so nervous about that presentation, I literally had a panic attack.NO YOU FUCKING DIDNT.Im so hormonal today. I just feel totally bipolar.SHUT UP, YOU IGNORANT BUMFACE.Told you I got angry.These words words like OCD and bipolar are not words to use lightly. And yet now theyre everywhere. There are TV programmes that actually pun on them. People smile and use them, proud of themselves for learning them, like they should get a sticker or something. Not realizing that if those words are said to you by a medical health professional, as a diagnosis of something youll probably have for ever, theyre words you dont appreciate being misused every single day by someone who likes to keep their house quite clean.People actually die of bipolar, you know? They jump in front of trains and tip down bottles of paracetamol and leave letters behind to their devastated families because their bullying brains just wont let them be for five minutes and they cant bear to live with that any more.People also die of cancer.You dont hear people going around saying: Oh my God, my headache is so, like, tumoury today.Yet its apparently okay to make light of the language of peoples internal hell
