Hey /his/

I come to you here with a dilemma

I was told by someone I trust that I could possibly be schizophrenic, and after looking up symptoms of it, I display every symptom

But that, in and of itself, isn't enough for me to believe I have schizophrenia

For example:

Disorganized behavior, repetitive movements, disorganized thinking: can be attributed to my existing ADHD and/or ADD diagnosis

I have OCD, so compulsive behaviour should be explanatory

Lack of restraint, social isolation, and excitability can be related to my Autism syndrome disorder.

But the issue is henceforth:
I live in America
I can't afford it

So, I come to /his/ for suggestions as to cheap and affordable, or possibly even free, tools or services I can use to get a reliable and accurate diagnosis.

Thank you for your consideration

Just for clarification. I originally posted this on /his/ but was recommended to post it here instead.

So that's why it says things like "hey /his/" when it should say "hey /adv" instead

There's no such thing as schizophrenia. You suffer from being a man in modern society. You were probably raised completely separate from nature in moving around in boxes made of drywall, deprived of sunlight, emotionally neglected by shitty narcissistic boomer parents then got bullied in school, laughed at by girls, and then pipelined into some torturous flavor of wagecuckery.
Unless you are getting carried away with elaborate paranoid delusions and hallucinations, schizophrenia is not a useful diagnosis.

Huh....that is....alarmingly accurate as to my life story

I do kinda have paranoid delusions, but not like "I'M BEING GANGSTALKED BY THE CIA" level, moreso "oh God, everyone hates me, they've always hated me, and only keep me around to make fun of me" which only spirals from there

And as for hallucinations, I've occasionally had moments where I think I smell one thing, but upon asking people, it's actually something else, or hearing my name being called when no one actually said anything.

Aside from those, I guess I don't have it

But that's how normies literally behave. It's literally what they do. They hang around people they hate and then play passive-aggressive power-trip mind games with each other. Don't be gaslit by big pharma DSM nonsense. It's not a delusion. The biggest comfort I can think to offer you is it's not personal, don't take it personally, they treat everyone and themselves that way.
Since you are an autist, I suggest you should disabilitymaxx, see if you can get NEETbux of some sort. Don't worry that much about being normal. Normies are zombies are usually aren't that happy. When autists try to normie-maxx they just burn themselves out (see "autistic burnout").
Forget the bullshit everyone talks about. Just make sure you have food and shelter and reduce your exposure to stress. Try to enjoy life. Forget bullshit labels and trying to find your identity in mental condishuns.

Food and shelter are covered

But...I do yearn for more

I yearn for....

Freedom
As cheesy as that sounds

Freedom to buy what I want, live on my own, and be the ultimate master of my destiny

I don't think I will get a job anytime soon, but hopefully, maybe sometime before the end of the decade

I'll have made it bros

I think, at least for now

I'll be just fine
