death isnt enough. i need to never have existed
i agree with this!!
i do think self dx should come with good reliable research as well
it's important to do your research on the dx before assuming you have it
guys, can we stop pretending that being wrong about a self dx is the end of the world
worse case scenario, youre back at square one with figuring out exactly whats going on and you dont have any other leads or explanations to why you behave certain ways or why things in your life go the way they do
its actually far more harmful for a doctor to be wrong about a professional diagnosis (which they pretty often can be in the abnormal psych area). a doctor misdiagnosing you can lead to you being put on medications you dont need that could end up making things worse. in some cases, this can be life threatening. it happened to our moms boyfriend when he was little. he was given an adhd diagnosis and was put on adhd meds he didnt need when he was actually bipolar. and yes, it did end up doing more harm than good. at some point he just lied to his mom about taking them and then showed her all the pills he hadnt been taking when he was doing better because he wasnt taking the meds that were supposed to solve his problems. he got rediagnosed after that and everything was good, but it still doesnt change the fact that a professional misdiagnoses can be really harmful
self dx literally doesnt do any harm to anyone. as long as the person in question did their research, who are we to dictate what they can/cant suspect about themselves and their experiences?

sorry i forgot that if my emotions and opinions dont align with yours its considered defiance.

Me: *Having a shower in water that would give me burns if any hotter*
My body: GOD, its freezing in here! Can you turn up the heat, pretty please? I promise its okay!
i could add a few more stages to grief if they let me
i am nowhere near a good person, actually.
