No one should be diagnosing or suggesting diagnoses on here. It's presumptuous and offensive, especially if the person hasn't asked for those suggestions. People come here for the support they request. Not to have armchair psychiatrists foist their faulty opinions on them.

I wanted to add that unless someone asks for that kind of support, telling them you think they have this or that or bipolar or whatever, particularly in response to their personal accomplishments is extremely invalidating and unsupportive and against community guidelines. Numerous people here have experienced misdiagnosis and malpractice, including myself, and just walking into their thread and telling them you know they have x,y, or z and if they deny it that means they do have it, like you did to me, is extremely triggering. You really need to stop trying to diagnose people and simply give them support and answer their questions.
