hey so very different post from usual but recently been a bit conflicted health wise yeah so if this does get any reach i'd love some comments with feedback or help to get reach 🙂↕️
i'm considered chronically ill with something doctors aren't sure of, but so far it might be autoimmune (more likely fibromyalgia but not diagnosed). i'm also not diagnosed with anxiety and depression but it's acknowledged that i've had it since i was in elementary.
that being said i've been having some tell me "yes push for diagnosis" and others (mainly nurses or people within hospitals professionally) tell me "no DONT" because apparently being labeled by said problem will mean i'll be treated with said problem by everyone else...which i thought is what i'd need in order to better my symptoms no?
physical health aside, i've felt i've always had more than just anxiety and depression- possibly some neurodivergence as told by my psych and neurodivergents i knew in the past -or it's just that i'm "being quirky" and hopefully i have something else ig idk
my dilemma is that i've been having this issue my whole life, now approaching the tail-end of my teenage years i'm now being encouraged to get help (before i was denied) and i have conflicting feelings about wth to do because of the advice i'm being given yet i'm supposed to know what to do.
so correct me if i'm wrong with anything i said and any advice from people who've been in this similar situation give me something to start with please and thank you
