Diagnosed gender dysphoria, and depression, major, recurrent. Therapist agreed I'm bipolar but no diagnosis (I refused treatment) Strongly suspect I'm ADHD. Some sexual PTSD. Autism and cPTSD, I'm not sure. Does it even make sense to make these binary choices? Probably not

i think you can sort of break everything down into descriptions of how energy (in a broad sense, e.g. emotional energy) preferentially gets routed or stuck in your system, get much finer-grained models of individual people compared to sort of the bruteness of diagnoses

i kinda lean towards a whole bunch of things being variants of PTSD and cPTSD, or at least i focus on those aspects as opposed to e.g. genetic stuff because i don’t know what to do about genetic stuff but trauma can be processed

You can learn to live with them and play their strengths. Bipolar upswing + ADHD hyperfocus is absolutely godlike for forming connections quickly or getting some ridiculous but interesting project done really quickly just don't try to make me do data entry I'll literally die
