I want to add what I see as a disturbing trend among people, in that they answer a poll based on their own judgement when asked a question if they have something, yet I read answers which correspond to the opposite poll selection. For example, the poll on ADHD, Just Tina answered YES saying she has it, yet actually outlines that she thinks she has it. You have either been diagnosed or you haven't, there is no inbetween with illness.

This is the exact thing I notice the forum moving towards lately, where people are just making shit up in their head and believing they have everything thrown at them. Absolute garbage.... people need to get out of the self sympathy pot and actually take control of their lives. You either have something or you don't, but you certainly DO NOT self assess and make shit up in your head to answer something.

This was only an example, and not an attack too Just Tina, but other members are doing the same thing. Absolute garbage it is.... Stop making shit up in your heads and think for yourself whether you have something and have been diagnosed with it vs. you want to have it or are telling yourself you have it.

Polls are to obtain accurate statistics, not self diagnosis unless that question is asked directly.
