if a psychiatrist said “you might be bi polar, but it could just be your artistic personality” should I go for an autistic diagnosis? 😅 my diagnosis ended up just being severe depression, but even that I don’t feel like is accurate to my situation. I’ve heard a lot that ppl get misdiagnosed for that a lot when they’re actually autistic and have burnout. And that’s exactly what I feel like I have. I’m depressed BECAUSE I’m so overwhelmed with the reality of no longer being in college and not having structure. I no longer have the driver or will to do things I KNOW I love and WANT to do. And that’s why I get distracted with myself. I’ve been wondering if I have it for a little bit now and I know ppl say a self diagnosis is valid but it’s kinda makes me super uncomfy to do that?? So I’ve been wanting to go get a diagnosis but also I wanna still KNOW if what im expirencing is actually accurate to autism rather than something else.

I have SOOOO many thoughts so feel free to message me. Quick over view: honestly if you have the money sign up for one bc it’ll take forever to get through. For me it’s been over a year and I get my results next week. You don’t actually need to decide yet, but once you’re sure you want it the wait will suck more. You could always just cancel the appointment of you don’t want to anymore. If you do at minimum make a list of the autistic traits you have. :)
