why does self diagnosis fuck you up ?
i guess with more complex things eg. personality disorders like bpd or more complex illnesses like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, looking at the DSM isn’t enough in my opinion bc it’s more complex than that so maybe if u misdiagnose it could make you really paranoid and make you think u have something when u don’t and another thing that’s not so good about self dx is that medical professions don’t like it at all so if you mention that you think you may be suffering from something they’ll brush it off or ignore it even if you might which is really shitty
