Self-diagnose - Tumblr Posts

While Apple Sauce seems to have people’s attention

I am I neurodivergent have anxiety and depression, and it’s self diagnosed

I just wanted to say that I have seen a lot of people invalidate mental illness if it’s not confirmed by a professional and you know what that’s just a really shity thing to do.

I am not saying that people shouldn’t try to get a professional diagnosis but what other people aren’t getting is that some of us can’t. We either don’t have the resources or we don’t have the freedom. And when people invalidate us just because we don’t have a doctors note, we start to question something that is a part of ourselves.

So please don’t be a dick and just believe us if we say that we are neurodivergents, don’t ask for a formal diagnosis just trust that we have researched it enough and know ourselves well enough to understand what we have.
