One diagnosis was enough for me. It took 20 years to get. By which time I was disabled by the illness I always maintained I had. I’ve since learned The gaslighting, dismissal and fight is tantamount to abuse. There was no way i was putting myself through that for further diagnoses.
It’s a very personal choice and not an easy straight forward one to make. It’s not like any other option comes with anymore answers, support or understanding.
I did discover the route i went down though with whole body whole person healing helped all conditions and if we approach it this way, we can move away from symptom management and get to the root of the cause.
It’s taken me further health wise, I’ve learned to validate myself but getting here was hideous. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
I’ve been talking about this in much more detail in my latest blog series on recovery - though I don’t particularly identify with the word recovery, it’s been more of an evolution of my human self.
Yea this hits home - reluctant to diagnose adults, yet eager to categorize children. Labels help, as it helps to understand yourself a little better even though there is no cure. A possibility to reach out folks that can understand you and make it a little easier going through the stuff.
