Weird idk life update:
SpoilerOkay so . . .
I'm gonna share this here because I don't know what else to do with the info, and I need advice.
I've been doing some research, and I did a few online screener/ test thingies and:
SpoilerSo yeah, it's a thing . . .
It makes a lot of sense, in my mind. And I think it could be one of the reasons why I've been having such a hard time with my mental health lately.
I just have no idea how to explain this to my parents. Or if I should try to get a diagnosis or not. I just don't know what to do, I feel very stuck

QuoteSo, not to invalidate how you feel, but these tests tend to score you a little higher than you actually are. I have taken many of these, especially about things I don’t have in any way, and it tells me “oh yeah you could benefit from seeking professional attention”. So… I wouldn’t trust these websites with all my heart. They are very inaccurate in my experience. Once again, that doesn’t mean you can’t be struggling with anything of this, it might be a good indicator that you do, but as we’ve been told all our lives, don’t trust everything you see on the internet
No, your totally good bro! This is why I shared this here, because I wanted to see others opinions and get some advice. I definitely think somethings (for want of a better word) wrong, I'm just at the point where I'm trying to figure out what exactly that is (for ex. I also have a ton of symptoms for depression and anxiety, but sometimes that's misunderstood autism . . . so I'm just in the stage of trying to understand stuff). I'm not using the tests as a way to say I have this, just as a reason to believe it might be worth looking into.
Like I said, I've been struggling with mental health a lot the last few years, I'm just currently trying to determine the cause. I definitely plan on doing more research.
Thanks for the input!
