oh shit i burned myself writing this hot take ouch
if somebody self-dx's, then does more research and discovered they misdiagnosed, changing the the diagnosis on their social profiles, etc. doesn't warrant fakeclaiming. it just means they were uneducated before and tried to do what was best for them, to the best of their ability.
(context: i previously self-dx'ed as osdd-1b under the assumption that we do not get amnesia, but according to people around us, we do, and i'm looking into either a pdid, usdd, or osdd-1a diagnosis but im afraid of ppl fakeclaiming)
!!! Yeah! Sometimes people make mistakes and that's okay, though I would recommend you educate yourself as much as possible before self diagnosing even if you do that there's still a possibility of making a mistake
