it genuinely wouldn't surprise me of she has previously received a personality disorder diagnosis, immediately Sacked her private therapist and is purposefully not sharing it - which, obviously, is entirely her choice, but somewhat hypocritical in that she justifies overusing terms like "trauma" and "triggered" and talking about the abuse she supposedly experienced in childhood - which she coincidentially unearthed the very day her book was published - totally needlessly and out of context, and in a way that minimises the severity of the terms/diagnoses. and whacking a list of hashtagged diagnosis on every possible post under the guise of "raising awareness" for mental health - yet it's only ever the more socially acceptable diagnosis that she mentions. diagnoses that are sure to garner her a load of sympathy and praise and attention and support, as opposed to the stigma and backlash and judgement surrounding other diagnoses, which genuinely do need awareness raised about them, to educate people and challenge the attached stigma.
note how it wasn't long ago that Laura categorically stated that she had been told she doesn't fit the criteria for a diagnosis of ADHD, and brushed aside the supposed "impulsive" behaviours that she now mentions at every possible opportunity - to the point that she fabricates stories to highlight her "impulsivity" and goes out of her way to behave in a way that appears "impulsive" and "wild", simply because she has decided that a diagnosis of ADHD would be beneficial in terms of her content, and she now determined to add it to her list of hashtags. diagnoses of autism and ADHD have become more prominent recently, as people on SM reveal late diagnoses, well into their 20s/30s+ and the impact that a later diagnosis has had on their lives etc - Laura has obviously noticed this, seen

flash before her eyes, and decided to jump on the ADHD bandwagon - despite only recently dismissing people's questions and insisting her symptoms definitely do not warrant a diagnosis, she seems to have done a total u-turn and is now purposefully playing up the "impulsivity", to convince people a diagnosis is imminent and valid, regardless of whether said "diagnosis" is made by herself or paid for thru pressuring a private therapist into making the diagnosis so that Laura will leave them alone and stop with the incessant text messages etc.
it's all about drama and attention, and if she isn't the centre of attention, she resorts to publicly defecating or indecently exposing herself in public or taking to a live stage dressed as a vagina, yet anyone who justifiably questions any of her behaviour is immediately labelled a "bully" or a "
bleep" and at risk of being doxxed by Laura. and you're totally right - she isn't "raising awareness", she is exploiting mental illness for her own personal gain, and instead of doing the responsible thing of stepping back from SM and getting the help she needs, publicising her spiralling mental health is placing vulnerable people at risk, those who are influenced into thinking her behaviour is somehow acceptable, under her guise of "representing rEaL women", when in actuality, emulating her could land them in serious trouble - and all those who follow her platform and support and encourage her, in addition to the people in her life who enable her behaviour, rather than intervening, are all part of the problem, fuelling her attention seeking by feeding the fire with all the encouragement and approval, which will only cause her inappropriate behaviour and desperation for attention to continue to spiral out of control.
