I don't get this whole "lets get really messed up as proof" thought process at all.
I didn't accept my DXs simply because a professional or a few of them said so, I accepted them because I have enough self-awareness to identify these disorders within myself.
I wonder if denial trumps self -awareness

And maybe that's why I skipped that whole stage...
Just wondering out loud about something I've never related to, no need to address my response.
