Hey. If you want someone to give you a label / dx then you really need to go and see a health professional who is qualified to do so. The DSM is a handbook that lists dx criteria and you can typically find the criteria online... Trouble is that people often end up with something that medical students find... Tendancy to think they meet most every dx category in the damned thing. There is a caveat in the front of the DSM. Dx's can only be made by health professionals for a reason... You need someone to assess your symptoms objectively rather than dxing on the basis of self report.

If you are concerned... I'd go have a chat to your GP or p-doc or therapist if you have one...
