anyone else stupidly autistic about getting mental health diagnoses? i love categorization on myself, whether it's in the form of dna tests or a checklist of the DSM-V. to an audience of like 3 people who will read this, i will list the ones i have. i do not believe i have any others, and i also believe i have fully encapsulated everything i have (i am clinically diagnosed with all of these, but the specifiers for the PD's aren't actual clinical specifiers)Autism, Level 1ADHDBorderline Personality Disorder (Quiet Subtype)Paranoid Personality Disorder (Insular Subtype)Atypical PTSD (what would be C-PTSD in the ICD-11 for my presentation, but is recorded down as PTSD)Depersonalization/Derealization DisorderGeneralized Anxiety DisorderSocial Anxiety DisorderMajor Depressive DisorderPersistent Depressive Disorder (Dysthymia)Insomnia DisorderTrichotillomaniaBody Dysmorphic Disorder
I'm the exact opposite. I know I probably have a few of these but I try hard to convince myself I'm normal and am just dealing with terrible situations. If I knew for sure I was cursed with all these disorders, it'd be extremely demoralizing.
>>83103918i've always felt the same, but recently i get so demoralized seeing all the people who are far more capable than me at living normally, but who claim benefits for "mental health", and get to do notjing all day, that i'm starting to think i should just give up and get a diagnosis.
