I'm guessing you feel that a diagnoses will validate your trauma? Are you diagnosed with anything? My apologies if the assumption is wrong. Trauma is trauma, I would look at it this way at least I'm not a person that has to deal with the diagnoses and also process and feel the feeling the abuse should make you feel.. For instance anger, sadness, guilt. I don't feel those things as I should for parts of my trauma as a child. I definitely understand.
