I've never been officially diagnosed with anything listened in my signature (except for PCOS and panic disorder), but when you've been dealing with the symptoms for, at the minimum, a decade, you can more or less tell that you've got a particular problem.

Still, even though I'm covered in scars, seen the proof of weight issues in photographs, and been through more nightmares/flashbacks/shut-downs than I care to admit, I hesitate a little; I feel like a fraud....

does anyone else struggle with this, this questioning of validity due to a lack of an official diagnosis? I've just been really, really good at hiding everything (plus, being in a household that is lacking in the nurturing aspect, it's not like anyone really cared or noticed)....
