Why the fuck do you think real doctors exist?!

EDIT #2: People complaining about this stamp is hilarious because they're proving my point...

EDIT: Apparently, my warning below = a self-diagnosis. REALLY? Self-diagnosing is looking up symptoms on Google and believing you have a disease/cancer or a disorder because you match some of the symptoms.

Anybody can become stressed out and deprived of sleep. You don't need a doctor to tell you why you've been exhausted for the last few mornings and only getting 1.5 hours of sleep one night. Please use your fucking common sense and go look up what sleep-deprivation means and what happens when you're up working until 5-6 AM with only 1.5 hours of sleep, for a few days straight...And then come tell me that I'm self-diagnosing.

Warning: The following rant is most likely due to sleep-deprivation, stress, and a certain animation software that was being extremely douchey and made me tank half of my midterm today, so be aware of unusual amounts of bitchiness.

Of all the shit I hear about on here and Tumblr, this one never ceases to baffle the fuck out of me. Many people seem to think they have certain disease or disorder because they've read about it online and immediately assume that they have a disease/disorder if they match 1 or 2 symptoms. There's actually a word for self-diagnosers: Cyberchondria.

"I MATCH SOME OF THE SYMPTOMS I READ ON THE INTERWEBZ, SO I MUST REALLY HAVE THAT DISORDER/DISEASE!!1! "
Right...As if you know more than a medical practitioner with a doctorate degree and years of experience in their field.

Really, just how fucking stupid could you be?! No, I'm not going to sugarcoat this for you. To believe that you know more than a medical practitioner with a doctorate and more medical knowledge than you have in one fucking cell, then you're a fucking gullible idiot. Not only is self-diagnosis inaccurate as fuck, dangerous as fuck, but it's also rather degrading to those who actually have been diagnosed by a doctor.

"B-BUT DOCTORS ARE SO EXPENSIVE!!1!! "

Tough fucking shit. I have to pay $150 per month for my ADD prescription from my psychiatrist. It's expensive, but hey, nothing else worked in helping my concentration. If you can't afford a doctor's diagnosis, that's understandable, but you still shouldn't go around claiming you have a disorder/disease that you got off of the Internet. That's still pretty stupid. It's one thing to do a bit of research to see what you might have, before going to a doctor for second opinions on it...But it's absolutely fucking stupid to take what you read off of the Internet to heart. The Internet is the world's largest library...But it's also extremely fucking easy to fake information on it. Anybody with any Internet access can type up a medical page (or even edit a medical page) on certain symptoms and maladies...and then stick a disease/cancer/disorder name on it. This is another reason why you should never believe everything you read online.

If you're really that fucking paranoid about possibly having some severe disorder or disease/cancer you read about online, then please do yourself a favor and go get a second opinion from a REAL doctor. Because they certainly don't exist for your amusement.
