I think that self-diagnoses are harmful because people abuse them to gain sympathy or be seen as special and more importantly you can easily misinterpret your mental state, as a biased observer, compared to a psychologist who is more knowledgeable than you.

If you do it to try to find a problem and solve it, and not to get perks or get an invite to a special club, then it's good.

Is lying about being diagnosed with bpd to excuse myself for being me and to get people to understand im not normal an indication that I have bpd? I have read a fair bit about it. And deffinitly have 8/9 symptoms. I've been diagnosed with bipolar 2 which I heared is a common missdiagnosis for bpd.

Diagnosed ADHD, bipolar and Tourette's (involuntary muscle clenching, area varies). I knew before talking to the psychiatrist it was bipolar, but I mistook it for anhedonia and similar with my doctor first and was put on SSRIs.

>>5115 I self medicate with a lot of ketemine. (Just kidding). I guess i'd like to cure the traits which are having a big fucking impact on my life. I've been learning so many different things such as mindfulness and cbt. It has stopped me from hurting myself and others in a burst of emotion, however I would like to get over my emptieness. It causes me a lot of unnessicary suffering and I must fill myself with drugs to cope. Maybe this is just a phase. Maybe this is all I am. Maybe this is a cry for help. But yea, I feel I relate to the illness and I think learning dbt (which I can't find much info online) might be better then the current treatment for bipolar which involves drugs which are making things worse and not much else. Also it makes me feel less empty knowing that there are others like me and there is some sort of treatment available.

I've been diagnosed at different times with schizophrenia (several times, despite never having had psychosis), Asperger's syndrome, being completely normal except for being a bit unhappy, social phobia, depression and most recently schizotypal personality disorder. So I don't really trust "professional" diagnosises.

Unpopular opinion but honestly I think self-diagnosis is probably just as likely to be correct as professional diagnosis anyway.
Anonymous 06/28/15 (Sun) 20:04:05 No. 10564
I don't know where to begin with this, basically I saw a therapist on the NHS for 10 months and not given any closure as to why I feel like I'm different.
I started to get intrusive thoughts badly so I set up an appointment with the therapist again, long story short my GP (who sets up the appointment) read her notes to me, he tells me the therapist thinks I have a suspected personality disorder.
The bitch therapist doesn't even dig to find out which one, though I match most things related to Borderline Personality Disorder.
Also just a query, could believing myself to become the most brutal murderer of all time be a form of narcissistic grandeur? I like the look of myself and like the sound of my voice too.

I've spent a very long time trying to figure myself out and eventually I do come to a few diagnoses. In the past I was professionally diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, but back then all I bitched about was anxiety because it was the most pressing issue. Years down the road (also recently) I am beginning to suspect that the constant anxiety is a symptom of some kind of autism/asperger's. It was explain why I was never able to make myself capable of effectively talking to people IRL, it would explain why I seem "smart," and why I'm generally bad at life. There are so many examples in my life that would probably confirm autism to any qualified therapist.
The social anxiety is fucking painful though, and it is enough to distract me from enjoying a single thing in day to day life, so I'm also ultra depressed all of the time and I'm in too deep to begin finding hobbies or interests again.
I don't really know what to do at this point. Thought about going and seeing a therapist. I desperately need some resolve. I primarily wish to get rid of the painful and uncomfortable parts of consciousness, like the social anxiety and depression. I can totally live with being autistic, but I can't live with the painful parts that may or may not stem off of this alleged autism.
I've been trying to figure my shit out on a daily basis for like seven years :\ What the hell. It's some kind of fucked obsession.
I guess that my next step is to find some good information on how autistic people are making themselves happier and not miserable.

It's what lead to the dp diagnoses, still an embarrassing time for me, I was trying to figure out why I flet like I did, got lost in various things, thought I had things I didn't, but never went full fuckbaby island either. The paths I was following ended up being from symptoms from what I do have, and me just getting lost in an obsession, I always found my way back.
>Do feel you need a real diagnosis to qualify for a diasese?
Yes, if you're going to claim something publicly, it needs to have been officially looked at, I know how easy it is to lose yourself, and a professional can bring you back sometimes.
>If you advocate self diagnosis, what makes you any different than a fuckbaby island girl?
Don't really advocate and hate that site and the fucks on it, partyl because they try to make it okay to fall into this BS and partly beacuse I see my past there and realize it's such an easy step to take to fall down that hole again myself. Plus the shit was embarrassing as fuck after the fact.

We're all animals, the crazy ones are those who choose to ignore that or pretend to be above it. Denying that humans are built to eat meat, denying we are built to kill. We are just as much a part of nature as anything else, no matter how much we try to pretend otherwise.

I got one, so, I guess. I mean, I was pretty sure beforehand what the problem was (while doing nothing about it), now I can say for sure what it probably is. (while doing nothing about it) Does that mean it worked?
>Do feel you need a real diagnosis to qualify for a diasese?
To qualify? Nah, if you live in some craphole with witch doctors and shit and are autistic, not being diagnosed doesn't make you any less autistic.
>If you advocate self diagnosis, what makes you any different than a fuckbaby island girl?
My problems have a noticeable effect on my life. You should still get a diagnosis if you can, but I mean, you don't absolutely need a doctor to tell you you've got a broken leg, but you should probably still go to a doctor to do something about that broken leg.

Some of the diagnoses I trust. (Mood disorder NOS and Aspergers/ASD)
>Have you attempted to get a diagnosis?
Not of my own accord, but I wasn't opposed either as a child.
>Did it work?
Yes a doctor was able to look through my symptoms and behavior as well as my family and educational backgrounds and find disorders that fit the bill. Treatment was not so successful.
>Do feel you need a real diagnosis to qualify for a disease?
Diseases aren't services, you don't qualify for them.
>If you advocate self diagnosis, what makes you any different than a fuckbaby island girl?
It's important to understand yourself and your symptoms and whether the costs of treatment are worthwhile. If you don't need special services or medication there's not a point to it.
I'm diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder, ADHD, Asperger Syndrome, Mood Disorder NOS.
I highly suspect that I have a cluster B personality disorder, but there aren't any real ways to treat those that aren't accessible to me already.

Yes. I wanted access to advocates, mental healthcare professionals, educational materials that are difficult for someone without the formal proper diagnosis to access, and social contact with people with the same disorder.
>If you advocate self diagnosis, what makes you any different than a fuckbaby island girl?
I advocate self diagnosis to a limited degree. I self diagnosed myself after six months of reading, researching, and lurking on various forums. I went back to my old diaries, spoke to my parents, and even dug up the old personality/IQ tests that my first job had put me through. When I was pretty certain I had the details, I went and asked my doctor for a referral to a neuropsych. After six hours and three weeks worth of rent money, the neuropsych informed me that my diagnosis was correct, and thus gave me the access to the various services and communities I needed. I did NOT spend ten minutes filling out an online survey before deciding that I had Asperger's, and that's why everyone was always a meany poo poo head to me.
I diagnosed myself with Non Verbal Learning Disorder. It's on the Autism Spectrum, so I am indeed socially retarded. I've been told that while the social interaction problems are very similar to Asperger's, the neurology behind it is different. I'm still trying to work out exactly how, and I'm not having much luck so far because the information out there is firmly split down the middle, with academic papers and articles, and ABC shit for the parents of NLD kids. It's frustrating. The learning disorder refers to a very limited degree of spatial awareness, which extends to even the most basic of shit like not being able to count more than five or six individual objects at a time, or not being able to do more than basic maths because a moderately difficult mathematical problem will somehow, somewhy, need to utilise the spatial areas of your brain. Then there's things like having very poor control over the left side of my body, very poor co-ordination, a tendency to sway and even fall over if I'm not concentrating…. it's really the type of thing someone needs to know. I sure as hell wish I had. I've lost jobs and had to drop out of uni twice. So yes… I really did need to know.

I shouldn't be replying to such an old post but since it's a thread about self-diagnosis anyways, I think tests definitely shouldn't be considered an accurate indicator. People tend to answer high and the results are generally inaccurate, and then there's the fact that having certain symptoms doesn't always mean you have a certain condition. I think it's better to just do research on the condition you think you have, if you do have it significantly enough for it to be a problem you'll probably know.
