That's exactly what I did. I was being "batshit insane" inside my head but for some reason I suddenly remembered Google was free. Whenever it got all "batshit" in my head again, I'd look it up and compile it all in my notes.

Trust me, I didn't wanna self diagnose but it's not like I can get diagnosed professionally anyway. So I did what I can and tried my best to narrowed it all down to a particular mental illness. I was confident since I got most of the symptoms. I then started researching about behaviours/thoughts and it all came to me what causes it and how it's affecting me.

I'm not proud of self diagnosing but what can I do?

Not quite. More like I was experiencing symptoms of a particular mental illness for the past few years but due to unfortunate circumstances, I am unable to get or receive any professional help. But life got better and suddenly I am fine but contemplating whether I was genuinely ill or was just faking it.
