MUTTERING "EVERYTHING IS COMPUTER" TO MY THERAPIST UNTIL HE STARTS WRITING THE GOOD PRESCRIPTIONS.
@LRRRonEarth @actuallyautistic Autism + ADHD? I know this one well. #ActuallyAutistc #actuallyaudhd
OOC: thinking maybe high-functioning BPD, which is scaring the shit out of me.
Also BPD is one of the diagnoses that have been defined by outside people looking at someone who is struggling and interpreting them in the least welcoming terms possible. If you get that diagnosis, maybe look for a definition by ppl who are directly affected by BPD.

PTSD with heavy anxiety and fear of abandonment sure shouldn't be a Cluster B personality disorder yannow?

OOC: I really think I need to step back and talk with my therapist before I reach any conclusions. I have the mood swings and the fear of abandonment, the shifting sense of self, but not the anger or dissociation or feelings of emptiness, and I don't do impulsive or risky behaviors (at least, not as far as I can tell). I have many longstanding friendships that have been stable for decades. It seems like I am probably some different thing.

It's possible that you are both autistic and adhd. Being both affects the presentation of them from the classic.

Ooc: I am open to anything. For me, the diagnosis is less important than symptom mitigation. I suffer regularly.

For the DSM, billing codes are more important than the nuances of our needs as individuals.
Hang in there, getting diagnosed can be uncool and unpleasant.
