Your Symptoms Don’t Have To Perfectly Match The Stereotypical View Of The Disorder.

Your symptoms don’t have to perfectly match the stereotypical view of the disorder.

No, you don’t have to have extremely distinctive alters or switch 24/7 to have DID/OSDD/PDID.

No, you don’t have to feel empty and sad 24/7 to be considered to have depression.

No, you don’t have to be super clean, tidy, and “perfectionistic” to have OCD.

No, you don’t have to be hyperactive externally to match an ADHD diagnosis (there’s inattentive, quiet types too)

Most of all disorders live on a spectrum, and within that spectrum are several smaller spectrums for each symptom. Everyone poses their symptoms differently, and every experience is very unique. The overall “umbrella” of a disorder is just for: 1) insurance diagnostic reasons and 2) to better relate someone’s experience to a broader experience.

The experience and symptoms you have matter a lot more than the label.

missing someone is crazy because you’ll have dreams that r like “we went on a nice walk together :)” and you’ll wake up feeling like you’re gonna throw up
