How to Properly Self-Diagnose
This is a highly requested post! Especially after our last post, many people asked how they would go about properly doing research and some specifically asked for this post. So here we go!
1. Notice your symptoms and track them. Determine if it's a one time thing, or if it's repeated for several months. Usually when self diagnosing, you already have a disorder in mind but not always. If you don't, try and see what disorders your symptoms match with and start researching those. If you do, determine if your symptoms are repetitive and cause some type of distress in your life.
2. Research!! Do research from credible sites, the DSM-V's section on the disorder, read posts from lived experiences, /ask/ about lived experiences, etc. Learn what it's like to have this disorder and what it's like to live with it and see if your experiences match up. This is also the time to research similar disorders (such as OSDD-1a and BPD). This helps you determine which disorder you're most likely to have. This is not tests online. Do not do a test online and say you have a disorder. Some can help determine if your symptoms do in fact line up, but they can't be your reason of self diagnosis.
3. Factor in family history. Many disorders have a part in genetics which will make a person more likely to have it. Some examples would be depression, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, and what people typically think of when they hear neurodivergent (autism and ADHD). For example, we've self diagnosed with BPD after tons of research and learning the body's mom has it. Paired with our symptoms and the trauma we faced, it's likely for us to have BPD as well.
4. If possible, reach out to a professional. Explain your symptoms, and say you've done some research yourself and you /may/ have the disorder you've been researching. They will take time to diagnose it, of course. But professionals can also think more rationally than you can and be less biased when it comes to diagnosis.
5. Remember it's okay to not know. Sometimes, it's not the disorder you've been researching and you can't tell what it is. It's okay to not know and to wait to get professional help deciding what it is.
6. Always be openminded that you may be wrong. If you get professional help and they diagnose you with something different but it explains your symptoms, it's important to believe them. They explained your symptoms with their diagnosis and they generally have a wider range of knowledge on different types of disorders.
7. When self diagnosing multiple disorders (like us with BPD and DID), first determine if they're comorbid or not. Then look at the symptoms for each. BPD and DID heavily overlap, but there are other differences that helped us. BPD cannot cause alters or a system, BPD doesn't cause amnesia, BPD doesn't cause constant dissociation (which we experience). DID doesn't cause the intense fear of abandonment, the idolization of FPs and those unstable relationships, black and white thinking, etc. We experience all of those symptoms, which is why we've self diagnosed with both. Follow a similar pattern and notice if your symptoms can just be caused by both or if you have the overlapped ones and ones that don't overlap from both disorders.
8. If you misdiagnose, it's okay!! Communities won't bash you if you do the proper research and simply just misidentify your symptoms. My advice for this would be to apologize for intruding on a community that isn't yours and to apologize for any harm and misinformation you may have done (intentionally or not).

self diagnosis isn’t “i relate to this post, i must have this disorder”
it is:
• hours of research
• taking all the tests online that you can find
• talking to people with the disorder
• making lists of symptoms you’ve had over the years
everyone can’t get a proper diagnosis for many reasons; some people can’t afford it, some people can’t get a diagnosis because of safety reasons, some people don’t want a diagnosis etc
some groups of people such as poc and afab people often get ignored when looking into getting a diagnosis
being able to get a diagnosis is a privilege
