Beckie I don’t think anyone has accused you of wanting any diagnosis just for benefits (?) and I would be hugely surprised if any medical professional ‘expected’ that from you either. It’s hardly financially lucrative to be ND.
You say you want confirmation and validation. I presume you’re pursing an NHS diagnosis because you consider that more valid, more confirming.
But do you not see that this whole thing is an exercise to outsource control and responsibility? Do you know that nothing will actually change unless you change it? Your life will be as shit as you let it be. Validation of your trauma from the NHS will give you nothing. You’re chasing after something which will not give you what you want.
