I knew I had depression, but my doc was of the kind that if you thought you had something, you just tried to be narcissistic or try for attention. So it took me 10 years to get the diagnosis of depression... Because I knew I had it. So when I realized I had Asperger's I shut up about it totally and hoped she would figure it out. She did, but it took a few years. I didn't want 10 more years trying to convince her.... Actually I've known for most of the stuff, it was just one thing I really didn't thought about, that was the ADD. It was suggested by my next doc, and even knowing I possibly had some traits, I sort of thought no biggie. Comes out I do have ADD. I sought help at first for anxiety stuff and I really felt it was out of control. And they agreed to what I had. But then they started label me with things I didn't have and it made my life hell.
