it sucks how there are disorders people will be like oh its ok to self diagnose but for the more serious ones they need 'to see a professional' despite in some cases that being a bad idea given the fact autistic people face legal challenges and so do most people who are any type of person on the schizospectrum
esp cause theres this very very deeply ingrained idea that you're stealing mental health resources from those who need it by self diagnosing (except people who do self diagnose arent exactly getting medication for it...) and how horrible itd be for you to...what? be wrong later? if you have an issue thats shared by another disorder you thought you had like social anxiety and you find ways to cope with it it doesnt mean your original diagnosis was completely wrong and harmful to you?
