at this point in my life i feel very "marsha thankk you for the dialectics but i need you to leave" about diagnostic labels, not because i think those labels are fake or stupid but because i personally can't do much with them. i would love nothing more than to have an appointment with a psychiatrist where they sit down with me for 3 hours and take a full life history and then at the end they tell me "you are autistic" or "you have OCD" and prescribe me The Vitamin that will make all of my problems vanish, but since that won't happen all i can really do is read books and go, "yeah that sounds like me" and then proceed to do nothing with that information

#this isn't directed at anyone and i super appreciate all the people reaching out with help and advice! you are all lovely #at my core i am just annoyed because i think being able to access the appropriate resources and care would do a lot for me #and that's just not something i can get #maybe one day when i'm old and grizzled i'll be able to afford The Appointment and then everything will retroactively fall into place #until then... we read articles... on the internet... and occasionally take a paracetemol.
