Having a disorder in the U.S. has become overly fetishized—elevated to the point where it's almost obsessively glorified or given excessive importance.

The truth is, most of you don’t have a disorder, and for those who do, it’s time to rise above it.

Clinging to trauma may feel validating in the moment, but it’s holding you back and suffocating your true potential.

Start celebrating your capacity to heal, grow, and thrive. 

Be proud of breaking free and reclaiming your life. True strength isn’t found in pity—it’s found in courage, resilience, and the refusal to be defined by past struggles. 

You are capable of so much more, and it’s time to embrace that power.

If your first instinct is to say, "But Barry....," this post is specifically for you.
