Hello Colleen
No, I haven't been diagnosed yet. I took a test online and everything matched with what I'm enduring. I'm afraid of being diagnosed. I don't want my family to feel like I'm crazy, I don't want them to feel different about me.

@moustaphagueye Getting an accurate diagnosis can be a big stepping stone in addressing your mental health. It can be a big relief to know that you have something concrete to work with. And this goes for physical health, too, you know!

I "get" that you don't want your family to feel like you are crazy. It would really be in your best interest, in your own peace of mind, to know what is going on. Are you concerned your family would not support you? I hope you make a decision to have a professional evaluation done to understand what you are experiencing.
