>>37309184I think you're real anonette.Though I have difficulty explaining why.I think the fact that you say stuff like"How can I stop amemaxxing" is proof itself.
>>37309756Also I'm trans and have ADHD and I relate to your post.
>>37309184Faking a disorder for attention involves two things:1. Not experiencing the symptoms associated with the disorder2. Getting attention (or trying to get attention)You aren't doing either of these things. You are experiencing the symptoms of disorders while fearing and actively avoiding attention (making a post on an anonymous imageboard where people go to spill their least socially acceptable thoughts doesn't count). Your sense that you must be faking is likely the result of a lack of self-worth---you don't believe that you're capable of having "real" problems, and/or you think that others would assume you're faking and you're valuing this imagined outside opinion over what you really feel is true.
