I agree with this 110%. Just because someone has one disorder, doesn't mean it makes them more superior than anybody else. Like I saw someone say "Eating disorders are stupid and they are not serious. I've had a mental issue so I know it's not as important" and I just thought wow, of course it's not a problem? It's only an illness that kills hundreds of people ever day. I don't know, things like that honestly annoy me.

- I also don't like it when someone who has x, y and z disorders they automatically superior than everyone else and no matter what you say they are better than you because they have more experience or something. Like, on Facebook I've seen friends jump down each others throats over their "disorders". Because Jane Doe is bipolar she is better than John Smith and everything he says is crap because he doesn't know "real pain".
No one can assume one disorder is worse than another (well in their personal lives looking upon others. I'm not talking about doctors or scientists. Just regular people) unless they have experienced every single disorder in all the ways the disorder can be experienced. I also do not like the people who self diagnose, then tell everything they know everything. Or when people only heard from one doctor and think they know everything too.
I dunno, it just bothers me when disorders are a contest too. I don't think people should toss them around assuming things. People suffer each and everyday, it's not a game. So this whole "I'm cooler/better/smarter than you because I have x, y, or z disorder" is ridiculous to me. Also no disorder follows the books word for word, we are people we all experience things differently. So it wrong to say one person knows everything.
That's what I think at least.
