> Because self diagnosed PTSD sufferers on Tumblr made a mockery of it. Why would them being self-diagnosed matter? Why would you react to it having been “made a mockery of” by reinforcing this supposed mockery? It only makes it worse for people who have to deal with it. |

Because the self diagnosis is largely made up by people who don't understand what PTSD even is. It's like someone declaring they have cancer without going to a doctor.

Because it's become part of the lexicon now. I don't think there's any going back. My usage was the "new" usage, no relation to PTSD was intended.
