Why think we have a disorder when we could be treated like a waste of life instead.

The thing is have many of those symptoms for years. Got tested, wasn't diagnosed because the evidence in my childhood is missing, even though I'm way over the "threshold" to be diagnosed as an adult.
Welp, don't have the energy to get a tested a second time at a different facility because they took 3 months to answer, require a reasoning from my doc and the wait list is 18 months. Meh.
Edit: Please ignore the missing words. I wrote this shortly after a nap.
Have you checked if you are me lately?
Except I did get a private diag after the public system one was a bust, but can’t find or never received the paperwork to give to my doctor (psychologists can’t prescribe here) and could never get through to that psych again, through email OR phone, and then gave up when the waitlist for another better public consult is 2+ years.
I cut out having friendships and most hobbies and am now technically functional and only slightly miserable, so that’s a plus.
