Hi, i’m new in this group and have been struggling to decide how to make this post. I’m going to ask a few questions/express concerns of mine and i’d like non-judgemental input please. Anything I say is not accusatory and i’m not trying to self-diagnose, i’m just trying to find out if my warriness is valid to bring it up to my Doctor.Backstory, i’m a trauma survivor, due to the length and extent of my trauma I was diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder when I was a teenager. My parents didnt believe in trying to get any legal diagnostics so I didnt even get help for depression until I was kicked out at age 16.I’m now 26, but since then i’ve been diagnosed with D.I.D, Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, CPTSD and A-Typical. The A-Typical covered my self harm and my psychological episodes/reality breaks. I recently discovered that I also have Excoriation Disorder, have for years but never knew it was a thing and was never addressed due to personal shame. That Excoriation is a form of OCD and even more things make sense now how I have certain habits that can’t be broken in it’s process before I finish or else it can cause a drastic mood shift or even an episode depending on the situation. I have been doing a lot of research on what’s going on with me. Wanting answers on who I am, what’s not considered normal and if the abnormalities of my life have a different answer or if all my abnormalities got overlooked and dumped in a general diagnosis of side effects of CPTSD. When I was in school growing up I could never focus. Studying was VERY hard for me. I maintained a B/C average simply from Acing my reports and projects. Even as an adult it is VERY hard for me to learn new things and it’s a super slow process that I keep track with by taking multiple notes at all times. I have pages of notes i’ve taken when learning new things. If I dont take notes, it takes twice as long to learn things. Even though it’s a long struggle, once I learn something I become the best at whatever it is. Then people come to me to ask questions because I am so thorough, because if I don’t 100% understand why or how, then I dont understand it at all. I also always take things VERY literally. I rarely understand hidden meanings or insinuations. I’m the Queen of jokes going over my head because unless you directly tell me/explain it out, half the time I don’t understand. Ive also been told that i’m an amazing “bullshitter” because I can explain my reasoning/my answers by over explaining it in the most basic and simple sense on technicalities. Because that’s how I understand things, on the technicalities. So I guess long story short, i’m questioning if I may be on the spectrum somewhere or if it’s all due to childhood trauma. Just wanting input on other peoples experiences. To see if it’s even worth bringing it up to my doctor next month. Like I said, i’m not looking for a self diagnosis, and I hope to not offend by asking about all of this. I’m just a confused person looking for answers that can better explain who I am so I can understand myself. If you made it this far thank you very much, I appreciate your time and input.
