Hm, I'm actually not quite sure!

When I first started seeing my T she diagnosed me with a moderate depressive episode. It was never written down anywhere and since then (3 years ago) she has not mentioned it again. When she told me back then it felt very validating to me.

I am pretty sure that I do not meet the diagnostic criteria for depression anymore. I feel like my T tries her best not to put me into a box and I appreciate that very much. However, I do sometimes wonder if I have any other diagnoses and I have thought lots of times about asking her but I'm just not sure.

(I have done quite some reading and am pretty familiar with the ICD and DSM and I suspect that I don't really meet the diagnostic criteria for any specific disorder. It seems like it's more of a mix-and-match of depression, anxiety and PTSD with me. )
