Part of what makes mental illness difficult for people is that they are painfully aware of it yet unable to communicate it. Thats why people often do not have an incredible amount of empathy for those folks, rather usually laughed at. Most people with mental illnesses are far more aware of their intricacies than the observer, but they cannot convey it in a way an observer can understand as the observer has no frame of reference. It’s like taking LSD and explaining to someone who never has, what’s happening in your mind.

According to my sister's TikTok I should have both and I'm skibbidysexual.

I wouldn’t need to know unless it would bring me a lot of insight or understanding that was necessary for my healing. Also, more often than not, mental disorders can be worked through where the symptoms are either non-existent or mild enough that they don’t meet diagnosis criteria (bipolar, any psychosis/hallucinations/paranoia, and to an extent ADHD/Autism are ones that may stick around in big ways). And diagnoses are always subjective to the clinician, so what one might diagnose another may not. Dont feel like you’re stuck with whatever the disorder is 🫂
