Do You Need Your Friends or Your Family to Affirm Your Self Diagnose?

Do you need your sister, who's an artist, to validate your eith d diagnosis that you received from someone who was trained in how to assess for the disorder? And if so, if you're like ya, i do. This is one of the biggest areas of growth that i have gone through in the last year. I don't need any one else's affirmation in order to feel validated in my diagnosis. But i'm doing the work of trusting my own thoughts, trusting my own feelings,. trusting my own assessment, my own diagnosis, my own everything. Let me be clear. You'd better believe that i want it. I frekan crave it. I crave that affirmation.
