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

if you're going to be a harda$$ about getting a professional diagnosis, go ahead and pay for everyone who can'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've had to deal with any of the above, you're amazing and im rooting for you
