estas bien?

@oreoshaark even then they could still be incorrect because the amount of personal research isnt the same as what a doctor learned in med school
ive had people tell me that while also being 15 and self diagnosing bpd which again isnt diagnosed untill 18 minimum

also forgot to mention in desc
i dont want to sound mean or lose friends over this its OKAY!! if you disagree <3

i completely agree on everything you have said. personally it annoys the h3ll out of me when people self diagnose. ive been diagnosed with 2 types of ptsd, depression, seperation and social anxiety, and mild psychological tendencies.
when i was 14, it took me about a year at northstar (alaska's mental hospital) for them to figure it all out. ik so many people who self diagnose and i can not tell you how wrong people can be about things. Id say most of the time when someone self diagnose themsel

they are just acting a certain way just to say they have those tendencies, and are just seeking attention

@oreoshaark

okok my views on self diagnosing allergies is a completely different story, mostly because you WILL ABSOLUTELY KNOW if you are allergic to smth

@oreoshaark

exactly. my last ********* (just last month) had tried to diagnose me with bpd and i knew da-n well i dont have it. it took me 7 weeks of me telling her i didnt have it. but she believed i did. i met up with my fam doctor and phycologist and we had her fired for gaslighting

@oreoshaark

absolutely. my older sister has bpd and i have seen how it works. me personally, can not get anything close to any sort of manic ep..

i am self diagnosed as autistic and with C-PTSD
my reason for not getting officially diagnosed is because, even someone who doesnt know what their talking about saying "well for now youre not autistic" made my mental health dig a hole to hell (yes someone actually said that to me) and if a mental health professional told me that, it would be WAY worse
also, some mental health "professionals" go by myths, such as, "only boys are autistic" or something similar.

for my C-PTSD, i just simply wish to not relive my flashbacks or my trauma to begin with :)

@im_not_ok_ okok but self diagnose isnt reliable.. people literary go to college for 6+ years to learn all about the mentality of a person. like, in some of the comments where they have said that they cant go get diagnosed due to a parent or smth, that is understandable. but people who self diagnose with things to just say they have itis just not okay. i have cptsd. my experience with it hasn't been needing constant relief from it. im personally not at a point to get into emdr to ''fix'' it yet.

@im_not_ok_ self diagnosing yourself with cptsd is offensive/gen

@-Poy- i dont think i wouldve correctly diagnosed my ptsd, thats was a doctor was for
