I'm glad you're staying!
Psychiatric diagnoses are subjective and based on self-reported symptoms. So, in a sense, we're all products of self-diagnosis since we're the ones who answer doctors' questions. Thanks to Dr. Google and the DSM, we can self-diagnose pretty accurately, too. Getting a diagnosis from one doctor or the same diagnosis from 20 doctors isn't a big deal, IMO.
You'll get lots of support here!
