PD I coined a new term to describe something that I’ve been experiencing on my awakening journey! I’m more involved in the spiritual aspect of therianthropy, and I’ve actually started using the energy of mental and aura shifts in my witchcraft. But something I recently discovered was that I did not have a past life. I am a new soul, so I started to have a lot of doubts about being a therian because I thought you could only be one through reincarnation. But I realized that my soul was ambiguous and it can change from person to my theriotype by outside factors (usually music, howling, playing with my dog, running in the woods etc etc), which triggers my mental shifts. So I am still therian, but not the way most people are if that makes sense. I coined the term False Therian to describe it, because what I consider a true therian is someone who was reincarnated from animal to human. But I don’t like the name because it makes it sound like I’m faking, so can you maybe help me come up with a new term? Also, do you think this is a valid way to label myself?
@@julietf3360 I honestly think this is not a good way to label yourself. Why would you go against the essence of therianthropy and coin a new term for something that is as much therian as reincarnation is? There is no reason to call it “false” in any way :) Therianthropy is the experience of animality (animalisticness, behaviour, mindset, phantom limbs,..) and/or animal identity. There are pschological therians, who believe these experiences are caused by imprinting or the complexity of human mind for example And there are spiritual therians, who believe this animality comes from a spiritual cause such as realcarnation, misplaced or dual souls etc. You having a soul that changes from human to animal, is therian! Just, therian. Reincarnation is far from the only way to be therian. (And pure reincarnation without animalistic experiences and/or identity isn’t even therianthropy at all hha) Giving you the term “false therian” because you personally belief therians are only therians through reincarnation (even if thats not the definition of therian or therianthropy) is not only unnecessary but also potentionally harmful. Say you call yourself a false therian or the like, for not being reincarnated. And people catch on to this and use this. You’d unintentionally perhaps change the definition of therianthropy and a lot of genuine therians, as much therian as reincarnated ones, may get the label “false therian” forced up on them. Which they wouldn’t want you see? So I personally would discourage coining a term for adressing therianthropy that isn’t reincarnated.
i actually get called a furry by my brother because i wear a tail around the house but if i tell him im a therian hes going to laugh and ask what it is just because im 10 and hes 13....
Ok I get that so much I told a couple of my friends my a therian and they go “oh your a furry” and I’m like no dude it’s therian like bruh get it right
They dont have the frame of reference ive found that if you sit dowm and explain jt they get it but its natural to compare a new concept to one you already know about. I try to be patient
I fell into a lot of these stereotypes (Werewolf phase and wanting to haul/wear tails) and confused myself and till this day, even after about 3 years of knowing about the therian community and believing and thinking I am a therian, I'm not sure. I think I just had an obsession with wolves/canines.Of course me probably not being a therian doesn't mean I won't be supportive :) I love you all ❤😊
Therianthropy is a journey and its not a super closed community you might mot be able to join a pack but i people wont shun you from places PDs server is a great place like this
This is very well explained, love the video. I haven't heard of some of the stereotypes like the Warrior cats names. Probably haven't been that active in the community.
that's one mostly outsiders seem to have hha. They think we are trying to play some warriorcats game and always give our theriotypes hyper-cool names like firestart or the like. Like no xD Some may like to name their theriotype but quiet often it's more 'serious' sounding names rather than warriorcatstype names
Me: Yeah, I'm a shapeshifter. My friend: AAAAH YOU'RE A WEREWOLF, YOU'RE GONNA KILL ME WHEN IT'S FULLMOON Me: *facepalm Also, your voice is really getting deeper, and I think that your face (jawline) is also starting to change a little bit :D
I needed a Video like this. I want to know more about these damn stereotypes so I can explaining to people better about therianthropy. (aka my Parent's).
Parents i find are the hardest to explain sometbung like therianthropy to. I told my mum about quadrobics and she said "so you think your a wolf why?" I digressed and said it was fun
Thank you for more information to stop stereotypes PD, I used to have a problem with people claiming I was into pet play. Due to that I wear alot of gear that is leather (I wear alot of leather gear because it reminds me of a past life)
For me personally, a huge part of my psychological therianthropy is connected to my autism, trauma, and DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder)- ESPECIALLY during development. I was constantly surrounded by cats during my upbringing and felt a great disconnect from people and society. Alongside this, development was significantly disrupted by trauma. I feel like this, my autism, combined with our loss of a normally developed solid indentity left a large impression on how I formed as a being. However, this is only one of the few aspects that affect me as a therian. And, of course, therianthropy isn't even close to being just an autistic phenomenon. Each therian has their own ideas along with causes and factors as to why they themselves are a therian.
thank you so much for sharing! that's a very interesting thought. I believe too that my psychological therianthropy may in truth be something neurological or neurodivergent or the like.
Oh the first part was actually a huge relief for me-I experience animality, I have for my whole life but always suppressed it and convinced myself I wasn’t therian because I didn’t like,,, want to engage in online spaces or fully ingraine it into my entire external identity the way i see others do. it IS an aspect of my identity but it’s less about Who i am and more about What i am and what i experience in my internal world, if that makes sense. I’m proud to be returning to the community after four whole years, more confident in it as a large part of myself, but seeing it described as an experience really helped me conceptualize it :D last time i was here i identified as a white timber wolf and a dragon, now i know that i’m an osprey, a deer, and a coyote!
As being a follwoer since ur early days its so awesome hearing your voice change every year! Ive been on a hiatus for 3 years and recently just came back, uve been a good help figuring myself out, really excited to see more videos from you!

Ah so that’s what my werewolf phase was about. I’m actually an otherkin (as I’m a shape and a cryptid) but I go through very therian-like experiences and before I learned what therianthropy was, I tended to think of myself as a dhampir (half-vampire) or werewolf.
Hello PD! I wanted to thank you (and Therian Territory!) for helping me SO MUCH on learning what a therian is, and that I'm a therian! I'm a Himalayan wolf and a Kuril bobtail (which I call pebbble). Thank you once again ❤
I kind of have a thing where i think badly about myself, like when i talk to much i start thinking other people think I'm annoying them and i have been commenting quite a lot today I'll stop annoying you
No plz :) i love people commenting on my videos and reading their experiences ( like how you like being on all fours in a tree by putting ur hands on a higher branch!)
Let's stop bullying therians because, well, we are basically practicing a religion because we believe that we were an animal in a past life, and we now have the soul of that animal. so, to those who bully therians, you are basically bullying someone for their religion.
Calling therianthropy a religion is.. well wrong and misinformation. Therianthropy is defined as an experience or identity phenomen. The red like being “identifying as or having experiences of an animal on a non-physical level.” Like therianthropic shifts (mindsets, phantom limbs,...) While there certainly are spiritual therians, the community is about 50/50 split with also psychological therians who believe they have these animal experiences due imprinting or complexity of human mind for example. So calling it a religion basicly ignored 50% of therians as well. You see see the issue? Therianthropy can be influenced by religion or experienced through spiritualities tho ofcourse. And it may feel like a religion or spirituality. Also side note: if one just has a past life as an animal without any current animal identity or animal experiences or the like.. they’re a person who believes in reincarnation. Not a therian. Is this information clear? Be free to ask furrher questions!
@@PDTherian im sorry, i saw it in a tiktok video and decided it was right to say those things out loud. i can understand that since they were not a therian, just a supporter.
@@psychoticheaven4134 it's alright, we learn all day honestly. I still do so myself. Tiktok is far from the best information source tho, so please be sure to take everything on there with a grain of salt. These people more often than not have very little connections to the rest of the community (like forums) or done any research towards the history of this community. Therian Wiki is always a good place for learning! As is the youtube channel 'Therian Nation'
@@Doyoulikestrawberrys hey, the simplest answer I can give you is 'yes'. But it depends a bit on what you DO experience. Could you tell me more about it, and why you would call yourself a therian? normally a therian is only a therian if they have an involuntary animal identity and/or experiences. This means that you did not intentionally create this identity or act out as an animal, it means that you cannot truely control what you identify as and experience. However, some therians figure out their own identity and experiences and are able to 'guide' this, by for example inducing or reducing shifts. Or triggering a shift thanks to specific acts such as going to the woods for a walk. It also doesn't mean that a therian hates being a therian, as many therians 'enjoy' being a therian due the unique animalistic experiences it gives us and the sense of belonging to a community. Generally, when someone voluntarily choses to have an animal identity or animalistic experiences, this person is a copinglink, a link or an otherlink , a 'kinnie' or a roleplayer. does this answer your question a bit? be free to give me more info so I could maybe help you more.
I think I may have had a werewolf phase as a kid but I can't remember very clearly lol. I'm still figuring out whether I am or am not therian. It's very confusing to me... One thing I will say though is that dead animals, taxidermy, vulture culture, disgust me. It just hurts me deeply to see disembodied animal parts. Ngl though I kinda... Really wish it didn't hurt so much cause... I want a real fox tail... But the idea that a fox was bred, tortured and killed to get me that tail is just too much to bare. And even if it was scavage I can't be sure and I don't want to accidentally endorse poaching or animal abuse... I'm sure most of the taxidermy and stuff (like vulture culture is entirely scavage) is ethical but... Just the idea of hunting and stuff, hunting for vanity I just.... It hurts.
5:00 Not a Therian, but I do like Wolfs as I got older I started to really like dragons. I just thought it was a funny coincidence that the example used was a Wolf to Dragon. (Unless that is something common and I am way more unoriginal than I thought I was.)
PD Well I mean after I put myself in their shoes it does make a bit of sense. But still, they couldn’t have done more research? Also what bad things have we done to anybody?
I feel like the spirituality ideas come from ideas from native americans. Native american culture is a closed culture and many therians dont claim to be native for obvious reasons but they do identify closely with some ideas of respecting nature and such.
thx ill use this soon to tell my uncle its not sexual or a fetish because he look up furry or something like that and yea so once i do i can make my facebook post open
Ian MK gaming yeah you m a furry and my parents don’t know that but they found out at one point and thought it was all sexual. I’m still a furry but they don’t know that. They found out I was a therian and saw people acting as animals. Because all they could see was weirdos, they banned me from that ad well. Now my entire flipping life is secret so hooray.
As an autistic wolfdog therian, tysm for debunking the whole "all therians are on the autism spectrum" claim. Not that there's anything wrong with being autistic, just means that it doesn't automatically equal therianthropy. Sorry this comment is three years late.

Theoretically it's possible. But unfortunately, we don't have that much brain capacity... I guess. And also technology. Look at the reptilians. They change form with the help of some kind of technology, or they read your mind, put themselves in your head and transform into what you want to see. But not physically, but by illusion (Even physically, of course, if they want to). They will force you to see what you want to see, but at the same time, to make it normal for others around you.

You aren't "Debunking" anything. You're just disagreeing with statements. Proposition: Therians are mentally ill You: Some are, all aren't. Okay next question. That isn't how "debunking" works XD
the issue is that your view is too limited and seem not to understand how stereotypes work. With a stereotype it is the idea of 'all are x' or 'this type is y'. Ex: 'all therians are mental ill'. No, for a fact (and with scientific evidence), a lot of therians aren't (ofc some Might, just like some blond people are dumb but not all are like the stereotype says) yes, 'all x are mental ill' is a stereotype. Not an opinion one can or cannot agree with. This is no different from 'all blondes are dumb' say it was 'therianthropy is a mental illness' more in its litteral sense, that is indeed debateable. Then I'd just be voicing opinions. Not debunking. -> While many professionals state it isn't, and classify it as either an identity phenomen or spiritual experience. A lot of therians agree it is still a theory and possibility that it is a light form of clinical lycanthropy or in some other way linked to mental illnesses (or one itself). (A lot others rather think its neurological, etc) that's what this video is about. "you may think x due stereotype y. But no, as one within the community and either out of knowing the actual community or scientific evidence it is not x" I'm just realistic and instead of claiming 'no therian is mental ill' for some type of positive representation, I admit some might be. Weither or not it is, for them, related to therianthropy.
@@PDTherian Cite your peer reviewed scientific studies, blind studies, and academic level articles that aren't blogs so we can see your "Professionals". Otherwise you aren't, as I said, debunking shit. rewatch your own video. You don't cite anything that shows a debunk. You're just being anecdotal and like I said, disagreeing with a statement. LIke I said two options. "Someone faking it for attention and because they were influenced by their friends that are therian" or "they actually believe it and are mentally ill experiencing dysmorphia or dysphoria or both. All you are doing is making statements and saying "Thats not true...okay next myth." Like wtf? That IS NOT DEBUNKING. If you are going to claim you are making a debunking video actually do it.
@@Amaruuno We're working on an easy-to-use archive that'll have links to those for you. At this point, I'm not gonna do your work for your. Educate yourself, or do not and leave things you don't fully understand alone until you did. Either are fine. There are plenty of such studies easily to be found online, or check out the existing masterlists therians already made that recap some of those studies. It's a google search away, the choice is yours. But excuse me for having more important things to do than chew the books for you. I appreciate your opinion, even if I don't agree. A little correction: experiencing dysmorphia or dysphoria doesn't automaticly make someone mental ill (ex: transgender people are officially not considered mental ill because of that, and only body dysphoria is an official recognized mental illness of its own. Other dysphoria variants (premenstrual dysphoria, social dysphoria, post coitial -however u write that- dysphoria, .. are not necessarily disorders or mental illnesses on its own aka don't make one automaticly mental ill.) next to that, learn to have some fun instead of picking apart fun videos because you somehow feel like you have to correrct everything ;) If I were a scientific youtube channel or claim to be a psychiatrist or the like I'd understand. For now, turn to other types of channels instead of going 'no this word is not 100% academicly used in the correct way! now, have a nice day!
@@PDTherian You can't convince me that someone wanting to physically mutilate themselves to "look like" a gender they aren't isn't a mental illness LMAO

Calling therianthropy a religion is.. well wrong and misinformation. Therianthropy is defined as an experience or identity phenomen. The red like being “identifying as or having experiences of an animal on a non-physical level.” Like therianthropic shifts (mindsets, phantom limbs,...)
While there certainly are spiritual therians, the community is about 50/50 split with also psychological therians who believe they have these animal experiences due imprinting or complexity of human mind for example.
So calling it a religion basicly ignored 50% of therians as well. You see see the issue?
Therianthropy can be influenced by religion or experienced through spiritualities tho ofcourse. And it may feel like a religion or spirituality.
Also side note: if one just has a past life as an animal without any current animal identity or animal experiences or the like.. they’re a person who believes in reincarnation. Not a therian.
Is this information clear? Be free to ask furrher questions!
@@PDTherian im sorry, i saw it in a tiktok video and decided it was right to say those things out loud. i can understand that since they were not a therian, just a supporter.
@@psychoticheaven4134 it's alright, we learn all day honestly. I still do so myself. Tiktok is far from the best information source tho, so please be sure to take everything on there with a grain of salt. These people more often than not have very little connections to the rest of the community (like forums) or done any research towards the history of this community. Therian Wiki is always a good place for learning! As is the youtube channel 'Therian Nation'
@@PDTherianum I have a question do you need to have involuntary animal behavior to call yourself Therian??
@@Doyoulikestrawberrys hey, the simplest answer I can give you is 'yes'. But it depends a bit on what you DO experience. Could you tell me more about it, and why you would call yourself a therian?
normally a therian is only a therian if they have an involuntary animal identity and/or experiences. This means that you did not intentionally create this identity or act out as an animal, it means that you cannot truely control what you identify as and experience.
However, some therians figure out their own identity and experiences and are able to 'guide' this, by for example inducing or reducing shifts. Or triggering a shift thanks to specific acts such as going to the woods for a walk. It also doesn't mean that a therian hates being a therian, as many therians 'enjoy' being a therian due the unique animalistic experiences it gives us and the sense of belonging to a community.
Generally, when someone voluntarily choses to have an animal identity or animalistic experiences, this person is a copinglink, a link or an otherlink , a 'kinnie' or a roleplayer.
does this answer your question a bit? be free to give me more info so I could maybe help you more.
What's new? MORE KODAAAAA
You asked, You shall receive! (actually tried to keep him in the video but he kept jumping of the bed so had to put him back in the cage lol)
yea lol
~northwestern wolf ian
Finally a therian video with understandible subtitles.
Thank you!
😸
FERRET- I want your ferret, he/she is adorable
Hello! I hope you are having a great day! This is a great video to show to my friend because he keeps calling me a furry. 😂😑
I think I may have had a werewolf phase as a kid but I can't remember very clearly lol. I'm still figuring out whether I am or am not therian. It's very confusing to me... One thing I will say though is that dead animals, taxidermy, vulture culture, disgust me. It just hurts me deeply to see disembodied animal parts. Ngl though I kinda... Really wish it didn't hurt so much cause... I want a real fox tail... But the idea that a fox was bred, tortured and killed to get me that tail is just too much to bare. And even if it was scavage I can't be sure and I don't want to accidentally endorse poaching or animal abuse... I'm sure most of the taxidermy and stuff (like vulture culture is entirely scavage) is ethical but... Just the idea of hunting and stuff, hunting for vanity I just.... It hurts.
5:00 Not a Therian, but I do like Wolfs as I got older I started to really like dragons.
I just thought it was a funny coincidence that the example used was a Wolf to Dragon. (Unless that is something common and I am way more unoriginal than I thought I was.)
I’m honestly so happy for you! I hope that you’re doing well, when I found out I was a therian your videos helped me so much to thank you ❤️
Hol’ up hol’ up hol’ up! Pause the music! People think we’re a CULT?
yep! My father thought so for example
PD Well I mean after I put myself in their shoes it does make a bit of sense. But still, they couldn’t have done more research? Also what bad things have we done to anybody?
I have an orange tabby named Cheese Puff who reminds me of koda
Your hoodie is so cool 😍
thank you :o
I feel like the spirituality ideas come from ideas from native americans. Native american culture is a closed culture and many therians dont claim to be native for obvious reasons but they do identify closely with some ideas of respecting nature and such.
People who claim to be shape-shifting are either good liars or I'm too gullible bc I always believe them ;-;
8:20 Is a Therian's Werewolf phase sort of like Middle School Syndrome/8th Grade Syndrome?
thx ill use this soon to tell my uncle its not sexual or a fetish because he look up furry or something like that and yea so once i do i can make my facebook post open
Ian MK gaming yeah you m a furry and my parents don’t know that but they found out at one point and thought it was all sexual. I’m still a furry but they don’t know that. They found out I was a therian and saw people acting as animals. Because all they could see was weirdos, they banned me from that ad well. Now my entire flipping life is secret so hooray.
Post vids more please i need things like this in my life more often also love your vids 🐺!!!!
Normally I got a new video every week :s I’m sorry I’ve been a little busy and stressed lately but I’ll return soon hopefully on normal speed!
As an autistic wolfdog therian, tysm for debunking the whole "all therians are on the autism spectrum" claim. Not that there's anything wrong with being autistic, just means that it doesn't automatically equal therianthropy. Sorry this comment is three years late.
The ferret is the most fabulous creature in the world also nice voice I love it
thank you SO muchh!!
@@PDTherian Omg I love your channel so much I have been watching since I was a kid I love you so much you are my idol
@@lovyrei hha naww! thank you for still watching my content up until now :)
@@PDTherian you are amazing thank you for being so amazing im sorry am I saying too much its just you have helped so much and you inspired me to make my not so successful channel of my own were I do random things but I will always look up to you mostly because I'm 4'11

You have a good day 💙💛💜💚💞💖💟😊:-)
Hi PD I am a cross fox therian and cat-hearted :3 I love your videos
Are you going to do a T update
Yes, probably next month when im 1 year on T
So I know that therians have dreams of being their theriotype but I don't...does this that I am not a therian?
Dreams is just one of many experiences therians have. Some do, some don't! :) That you don't experience them doesn't mean you're not a therian.
@@PDTherian I am so honored to have a reply from you! I never expected it!! And thank you so much for helping me!! You are an inspiration to me!! And also a therian teacher!
@@Whiskey_Wolf17 No problem! I'm here to help hha :p Glad I could help you along your journey!
@@PDTherian I really wish we could see each other in real life so we could talk for real!! And even become friends!!
@@Whiskey_Wolf17 hha well sadly I'm from belgium which is likely not nearby. But plz never hesitate to reach out through my discord: ruclips.net/video/hrrF24Hhhnc/видео.html or through any of my contact methods in my youtube description!
Even four years of thinking, I DON'T KNOW AM I MORE THERIAN OR FURRY??!!? 😩😩
Do you have any advice about finding out the right species of people who just find out what therianthropy is and feel that connection with it? I don't want to go fast about it but would like any advice to point in the right direction :D
i'd recommend you to watch my video on theriotypes as it has a part that talks about tips to find your theriotype: ruclips.net/video/C4ioxuGnbXA/видео.html :)
@@PDTherian Okay, thank you!
Woah :0
I started with your old videos
And wow your voice!! Epic bro :0
I'm a trans demiboy and I dunno if I'll ever go on hormones :/ cause ...money
And I'm just not sure yet
Therians are shapeshifters
I WISH
Twilight scene >:3 Also its not physically possible for a human to shape shift into an animal 😑
Theoretically it's possible. But unfortunately, we don't have that much brain capacity... I guess. And also technology. Look at the reptilians. They change form with the help of some kind of technology, or they read your mind, put themselves in your head and transform into what you want to see. But not physically, but by illusion (Even physically, of course, if they want to). They will force you to see what you want to see, but at the same time, to make it normal for others around you.
can you be a humanoid creatures like goblins or giants
Yes! That's called otherkin, where you identify as a mythical being
how should i tell my friends im a therian?? If you can reply and answer this question that would be amazing ;3
Hi! I would recommend you to watch this video I made on it if it's not too much to ask :) ruclips.net/video/5Z7HSDZwYEo/видео.html

This is odd but I don’t hate
thank you!
You aren't "Debunking" anything. You're just disagreeing with statements.
Proposition: Therians are mentally ill
You: Some are, all aren't. Okay next question.
That isn't how "debunking" works XD
the issue is that your view is too limited and seem not to understand how stereotypes work. With a stereotype it is the idea of 'all are x' or 'this type is y'. Ex: 'all therians are mental ill'. No, for a fact (and with scientific evidence), a lot of therians aren't (ofc some Might, just like some blond people are dumb but not all are like the stereotype says)
yes, 'all x are mental ill' is a stereotype. Not an opinion one can or cannot agree with. This is no different from 'all blondes are dumb'
say it was 'therianthropy is a mental illness' more in its litteral sense, that is indeed debateable. Then I'd just be voicing opinions. Not debunking. -> While many professionals state it isn't, and classify it as either an identity phenomen or spiritual experience. A lot of therians agree it is still a theory and possibility that it is a light form of clinical lycanthropy or in some other way linked to mental illnesses (or one itself). (A lot others rather think its neurological, etc)
that's what this video is about. "you may think x due stereotype y. But no, as one within the community and either out of knowing the actual community or scientific evidence it is not x"
I'm just realistic and instead of claiming 'no therian is mental ill' for some type of positive representation, I admit some might be. Weither or not it is, for them, related to therianthropy.
@@PDTherian Cite your peer reviewed scientific studies, blind studies, and academic level articles that aren't blogs so we can see your "Professionals". Otherwise you aren't, as I said, debunking shit.
rewatch your own video. You don't cite anything that shows a debunk. You're just being anecdotal and like I said, disagreeing with a statement. LIke I said two options. "Someone faking it for attention and because they were influenced by their friends that are therian" or "they actually believe it and are mentally ill experiencing dysmorphia or dysphoria or both.
All you are doing is making statements and saying "Thats not true...okay next myth." Like wtf? That IS NOT DEBUNKING. If you are going to claim you are making a debunking video actually do it.
@@PDTherian You don't seem to understand how stereotypes work actually as your statement above proves.
@@Amaruuno We're working on an easy-to-use archive that'll have links to those for you. At this point, I'm not gonna do your work for your. Educate yourself, or do not and leave things you don't fully understand alone until you did. Either are fine. There are plenty of such studies easily to be found online, or check out the existing masterlists therians already made that recap some of those studies. It's a google search away, the choice is yours. But excuse me for having more important things to do than chew the books for you.
I appreciate your opinion, even if I don't agree. A little correction: experiencing dysmorphia or dysphoria doesn't automaticly make someone mental ill (ex: transgender people are officially not considered mental ill because of that, and only body dysphoria is an official recognized mental illness of its own. Other dysphoria variants (premenstrual dysphoria, social dysphoria, post coitial -however u write that- dysphoria, .. are not necessarily disorders or mental illnesses on its own aka don't make one automaticly mental ill.)
next to that, learn to have some fun instead of picking apart fun videos because you somehow feel like you have to correrct everything ;) If I were a scientific youtube channel or claim to be a psychiatrist or the like I'd understand. For now, turn to other types of channels instead of going 'no this word is not 100% academicly used in the correct way!
now, have a nice day!
@@PDTherian You can't convince me that someone wanting to physically mutilate themselves to "look like" a gender they aren't isn't a mental illness LMAO
