Yeah I think I need the label. My head doesn’t trust it’s own judgement, I have no ability to be assess how calibrated I am to believe my amateur diagnostics, so it needs something of substance to anchor to. I can’t think of many reasons why I’d need the label other than for my own sanity. I’d been ...

Hey dude, recognise a lot of what you say in myself tbh. I’m not formally diagnosed as yet, a new consultant of mine says he thinks it’s highly likely. And like you I’ve had many diagnosis over the years. Regarding getting a formal diagnosis, I agree with the theory people shouldn’t have to sit unde...

Yeah I’m firmly thinking in my circumstances I will get a formal diagnosis, or not! It might be I don’t have Autism. BDBT - It’s funny as the suggestion by the consulta...

Yeah I totally get the label aspect, I also question what it will achieve. I think because I’ve had such a variety of diagnoses over the years, to not complete this final step will really get under my skin. I can already sense it’s getting obsessional, my need to know what is wrong. I’m not saying t...

Oh I got an AQ score of 37. Which I’m not treating as a diagnosis, more an indication my persisting problems do align with some autistic traits. To be honest, the consultant putting ASD out there has been a headfuck. I’ve literally dedicated half of my life to trying to think my way through issues t...

Depression, anxiety, psychosis, delusional disorder, primary OCD, ADD... at various stages over the last 20 plus years I’ve had varying degrees of all of the above. I found comfort by supplementing my various prescription meds with ...
