is being diagnosed even a good thing?

[roseleaf]

ive never been diagnosed
ive never even been to like
a therapist (for more than a few weeks)
or really anyone in the mental-health-human-services field

i guess my parents never really expected i would have problems?
or like they never noticed how i never really felt anything over time

and now i just am too tired to do anything with my personal life
so
whats it like? is it worth it? does it affect your plans to ctb in any way?

ive been curious about this for a long time

in my opinion it was a good thing because now i know whats wrong with me lol

I think it's worth trying, especially if you have only tried a few weeks in your whole life. It has given me some answers that help explain why I struggle with certain things.

good point. i have no idea what is wrong with my brain and i've always been against self-diagnosing since as a kid i had been surrounded by others with really severe mental problems (all of them. somehow)

in order for my claims to have worked they said yes.
to me personally, no. pain is pain—a diagnosis is not needed to show that, never mind prove it
