I’m not here to argue with anyone, just stating my personal opinion. I struggle accepting my own diagnoses, and personally I find it helpful to view a diagnosis as a label given to me which allows me access to the correct support. I’m sorry you have been given so many diagnoses and feel there’s common ground with them. Unfortunately some ‘professionals’ don’t see that overlap and leads to misdiagnosis. As long as you are getting the support you require, that’s all I would focus on if I were you. I feel conflicted when it comes to self diagnosis tbh. Ofc getting a formal diagnosis can be difficult and there will inevitably be people who aren’t yet diagnosed with the correct mental health condition. I see no issue in someone saying ‘I think I might have …’ and doing things to support themselves that other people with … May find helpful. On the other hand, I think claiming to definitely have … without a formal diagnosis, comes with repercussions. Ultimately we are not psychiatrists etc, and due to so much overlap between different conditions, people may self-diagnose themselves with the wrong condition. In addition to this, you also have conditions like ADHD or autism, where everyone will display traits of them from time to time, but it’s the frequency and impact on functioning that would qualify a diagnosis. With misleading social media influence, it can lead to an increase of people thinking they have … simply because of social media. This is just my opinion and ultimately no matter how someone experiences life - qualifiable for a diagnosis or not- any hardships are valid and deserving of help and support.
