Received a diagnosis, yes. Therapy is an ehhhhh. Got signed up when I was pretty young (ten-ish), but never sought it out as an adult. Felt like too much work and I don't have a ton of faith in it. Medication is pending (appointment this month, first time getting myself to do anything like this), and I have VERY deliberately avoided avoided getting chucked into a psych ward. I like to keep the whole psychiatric industry at an arm's length.

Diagnoses with Clinical depression at 15, alongside anxiety and self harm ( i know, not a diagnosis). First time I saw a psych was on my 'first' suicide attempt here
Started the first of a shit ton of medications - antidepressants, antipsychotics, sleeping pills, anti-anxieties, mood stabilisers , etc - that never helped.
First admission to a psych ward when I was 16 and then in and out with depression, suicidal tendencies and then later anorexia until my mid 20s. Anorexia admissions were the ones where I was sectioned and force fed with a tube against my will.
Misdiagnosed with BPD at 18 which gave me even more trauma from MH mistreatment.
Other diagnoses over the years - anorexia, bulimia, suspected and now determined PTSD and C-PTSD. Treatment resistant depression.
Been through CBT, DBT, bits and bobs of CAT/EMDR - not full courses so it made little difference. Few sessions of trauma therapy here and there.
Multiple psychiatrists, therapists, psychiatric nurses, social workers, crisis/home treatment teams, support groups..
There's probably stuff I'm missing, but yeah, fuck.. even typing that makes me feel like a freak!
How did you get cat scan. I've told doctors I once hit my head when I was 7-8. Then pass out. Then had trouble understanding my grandmothers body language. They've always said something to the likes of: "it's not a reason to check"

I meant CAT as in therapy (cognitive analytical therapy) not the scan.
Though I have had an MRI for other medical reasons and sadly all is good with my brain anatomically - no excuse for my mental-ness in there.
