Struggling with Mental Health Diagnosis

there is nothing wrong with self diagnosis, given you do sufficient research. no one knows you better than you and diagnosis is a privilege. think of it this way: you need to self diagnose before bringing it up to a therapist anyway most of the time. it is not like we dont experience symptoms until the moment we receive a diagnosis! i suggest trying to bring it up to your doctor again if possible. if not, try to come up with a written list of your symptoms and talk to your parents about it. you are still valid, diagnosed or not. remember, it is a privilege to be diagnosed. i am here for you :]
