Dear Koko2,
You did the best you could, it took courage to fill out forms, so you got your foot through the door, good for you.
Intake forms should not be filled out " in the moment " off the top of your head by memory.
A lot of times we forget.
I don't think they were asking you to self diagnose it was most likely a symptom questionnaire within the questionnaire there was a box " if you have ever been diagnosed/treated for xyz "
Two totally different questions that sound similar.
It can be very confusing. It is made that way.
That part is over, it is what it is for now.
When you start treatment be honest about everything and the doctor will make notes of a depression if you tell him/her.
I think a lot of people fudge on some questions, like have you ever had suicidal thoughts,
I think most people have one time in their life. It doesn't mean you are suicidal.
But its a hard for one to say yes. Have you ever been in an abusive relationship is another.
When you have the time, in chronicle order, make 2 list one for physical traumas/treatment and another for any peer, parental, partner, work experiences that may have been abusive.
This will take some time, but it will make a clear picture for You and Doctor/therapist to see and is tangible/flexible. Just don't dismiss things as unimportant.
I wish you well,
Happiedasiy
