    Ah yes, another self diagnosed ADHD trait. It’s just so quirky, amirite?!?

    I hate seeing so many people stating they have ADHD while they have just self diagnosed it without consulting any doctor. People actually having ADHD suffer from these kind of people because everyone thinks it’s funny, quirky and cool to have.

    Sorry for the rant, I took more time to write this then I wanted 😵‍💫

      Y’know, you’re breaking HIPAA by talking about this online.

      Oh wait, you’re not her doctor? Then how exactly do you know anything about this?

      Yeah there’s human quirks and there are quirks turned up to 11 so they’ve become something else.

      I’m really tired of randoms using psychological jargon without any training, and I’m just some dumbass in therapy with no actual skills.

      If you want to give me the £5k I would need for a private diagnosis, I’ll happily take it, but if not just please stfu.

      A professional charges $200/hr, so we get seen a few times per year at most.

      I’ve fucking read the relevant chapters of the DSM V more times than she has. This isn’t the dark ages, this is the information age. Stop gatekeeping knowledge, bitch. I know myself and my symptoms better than she does, because I fucking live with myself and she’s just that annoying not-relative that comes in and after half-hour solves all my problems and tells me how to live my life and then “WOW I’M HEALED THANKS SO MUCH” —now fuck off and write my scrip so I don’t have to go to the darkweb for my shit that I hate but enables my neurodivergent mind to function in in the way that’s at least partially compatible with this fucked up society.
