self-diagnosing is not "uwu i wanna be special i& #39;ll just say i have adhd".
self-diagnosing is a product of thorough research. it& #39;s when you dont have the money to get a professional diagnosis. it& #39;s living with people who dont care about mental health/neurodivergency.

if you& #39;re going to be a harda$$ about getting a professional diagnosis, go ahead and pay for everyone who can& #39;t afford one

AND forgot to mention the racism and sexism that so often comes with seeking a diagnosis.... bipoc & women (or ppl perceived as women) are often misdiagnosed or dismissed in some way

im muting this!! ill still check qrts & replies :-) im really proud of all of you who& #39;ve had to deal with any of the above, you& #39;re amazing and im rooting for you
