i was self diagnosed got unofficially diagnosed by psychiatrist who pointed me in the direction of official diagnosis. im still just as disabled when i was when i recognized my struggles. just bc they didn’t get a diagnosis before doesn’t mean its not real. and you don’t know them like they don’t know u. you truly don’t know what someone is going thru and obviously u hate feeling that way yourself. so deal w your own issues and let others deal w theirs in how they can. :)
also many self diagnosed ppl don’t rely on tik tok. i researched for hours on end abt the science behind my conditions, the way they manifest, personal experiences of others, etc. for three months straight before opening up to people & going to my psychiatrist because i wanted to be sure. many ppl who ik self diagnose have done similarly. ofc not to say no one jumps on tik tok & says they have something. but just bc u don’t understand it doesn’t mean it’s something that’s not real :)
