I think developmental disorders, such as adhd or autism, are usually a part of the person, whereas something like anxiety or depression is viewed as separate from the self.

It's why pro autism rights and self -advocacy groups dislike first person language. Being autistic is who they are, for better or worse.

It depends on if the diagnosis is ego dystonic or syntonic. I know a hallmark of ocd is that it is considered ego dystonic and a disturbing part of the person's psyche. Ppl I know with ocd live in spite of it.

i know, im autistic with adhd and depression + anxiety lol, so i was speaking from that point of view. and as i said, it probably depends on the diagnosis, but makes sense with the ocd

edit: and as for the "defining who you are" part, i would say you are never defined by a diagnosis, the diagnosis is just a way to describe part of who you are

Although I quoted you my response was directed more at lolo

Like idk how to word it but autism for so many people is who they are and they dont know who they'd be without it, which is why the idea of a cure is insulting, its saying who you are is wrong

Yet anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts? Yeah for most people it's not their identity and they'd gladly get rid of it

Again it boils down to dystonic vs syntoic ego

I know the biggest distinction between ocd and ocpd is dystonic and syntoic. Interestingly ocpd overlaps with autism and anorexia, so

is this also for lolo

My psychs like, refuse to diagnose me so for now it's just gender dysphoria but like, I am very much depressed yes.
A psychiatrist I went to twice thought I had cluster b personality traits and dysthymia but again, she met me twice.

Me too pretty much before I got the personality diagnosises, and med r impossible to get for me even tho for some of my friends its been like "here, meds, pls take" after 2 visits bruh

They just don't like diagnosing people, they're both all hippy dippy there's nothing wrong with you you're just who you are type of way, crunchy granola psychologist/psychiatrist.

Felt that

When you’re diagnosed with something
does it define who you are or
are you living and maintaining
in spite of it?

i don't think it defines who i am, it's just something i have to deal with and hopefully get through eventually. like it's an obstacle not a part of me but it does affect my life a lot

same as any physical illness i think, you can't act like the illness doesn't impact you at all but it's also not who you are

but like it does suck to get confirmation that you definitely have this obstacle n have to work with it, right
