There's a facebook page. XD
It's hilarious. Their motto is "They Can't Stop Us All."
I just love the ridiculous species that is humanity.

NO WAY?!
You must give the inside scoop.
Mojack I nominate you as "Spy" because we are curious about the hilarity of this situation
Here’s their game plan:
Ok guys, i feel like we need to formulate a game plan, Ive put together this easy to follow diagram here for a proposed plan.
The basic idea is that the Kyles form the front line, if we feed them enough psilocybin and monster energy and say that anyone in camoflague is their step dad, and the entire base is made of drywall then they will go beserk and become an impenetrable wall.
Then the Rock Throwers will throw pebbles at the inevitable resistance (we dont want to hurt them, we just want to annoy them enough to not shoot the kyles as often)
While this is all happening, the two naruto runner battallions will run full speed around the north and south flank, and shadow clone jutsu, effectively trippling our numbers, and overwhelm the base (red circle).
((Although there was a P.S at the bottom, stating))
P.S. Hello US government, this is a joke, and I do not actually intend to go ahead with this plan. I just thought it would be funny and get me some thumbsy uppies on the internet. I'm not responsible if people decide to actually storm area 51
((And here’s the image))
Thank you for this… I seriously needed that laugh. The plan is flawless.

I pride Jackson Barnes in his use of all forms of Human. The Kyles. The Rock Throwers. The Narutos. Very inclusive.
This… wipes tears from eyes …is beautiful.

So I don't know if anyone said this before, but I'm popping in because I'm bored.
So my unpopular opinion:
Self-diagnosis for mental illnesses is okay in some circumstances.
I'm going to have to disagree, to an extent. In the event that someone is completely unable to get a screening/a proper diagnosis, then yes, they will have to resort to googling their symptoms and coming up with a good diagnosis themselves. However, those diagnosis can be wrong because many mental illnesses can be a symptom of something else. For example, a person may diagnose themselves with anxiety, but they could actually have OCD or even tumor. It's simply not safe to diagnose yourself with something, and what would be the point? Just so you know what it is? If you're diagnosing yourself, then you can't get help for it either (I assume) so why even bother since you run the risk of misdiagnosing and spreading misinformation? You can say, "I suspect I have anxiety" or "I feel anxious often" but claiming to have anxiety is just not safe.
On the flip side, quite a few younger, impressionable people tend to diagnose themselves without proper research or just as a trend. They make mental illness seem glamorous or like a joke. That's yet another danger of people diagnosing themselves.
Ultimately, kids should never self-diagnose. Teenagers/Adults should very rarely. Self-diagnosing should be avoided.

This is basically the only circumstance I mean.
I mean they can but it likely won't be accurate? So I don't understand the point.

So,,,it's not okay to self-diagnose, then.

It's not okay a majority of the time, but it can be somewhat helpful to people who know they're mentally sick and unable to get help in their current situation. (I make no sense, I'm very out of the loop.)
I just don't see how it's helpful? If they can't get help, and they run the risk if misdiagnosing their symptoms, then it's not really helping them at all besides just putting a (possibly incorrect) name to their symptoms?

Good point.
Although, there is probably a bit of comfort with finding a label. But I agree, too many (especially kids) treat mental illness like a joke or a trend to hop in on.
but it can be somewhat helpful to people who know they're mentally sick and unable to get help in their current situation.
But how is that helpful in the long run? You could get more help if you got a proper diagnosis. Not just in terms of getting proper treatment, but you can't apply for things like disability benefits if you're self diagnosed. I'm not sure how it works in other countries, but where I live if you want to apply for disability benefits there's a part that needs to be filled out by a doctor (and I'm sure that's probably how it is in a lot of other places) which isn't going to happen if you don't have a professional diagnosis.

People should never self-diagnose, especially because the people who do are people who have 1 bad day and decide it means they're depressed. It reflects badly on people who actually have mental illnesses and such, and makes us not be taken seriously.
Imagine if someone walked into their doctor and said "Well, my throat hurts when I swallow so I have throat cancer."
