I've given up on being diagnosed because therapists when I have them (I changed therapists a lot) all had different opinions. They diagnose what they specialized in and focused on study of. Every therapist has a different area of bias. I've been told in the past I have or had bipolar that's rapid cycling, dissociative identity disorder, borderline personality disorder, potentially schizoaffective, rape trauma syndrome, complex PTSD, Peri and post partum, and I'm certain I've had Stockholm syndrome in the past and struggle with narcissistic abuse victim syndrome as well as the complex ptsd and rts due to being abused by narcopaths...someone misdiagnosed me with aspd when I called them out on abusing me and other patients with trauma. Themselves the brakes kids. Psych ain't always safe space. Honestly I was mistreated more by staff in places than by other patients. For real. Maones system (all areas of it) is basically a cruel joke and I'm not the only one who's experienced that reality. There are some good staff but bad ones tend to scapegoat the good ones...as well as scapegoating patients brave enough to try to stand up to abusive staff.
