AZState2012 1 Posted September 17, 2014 What are your symptoms? And no you can't. You have to be officially diagnosed by a professional. Even though your symptoms may be spot on to something you've read, you can't and should not self-diagnose. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gilly 1086 Posted September 17, 2014 Hi tranquility, take a wide berth from anything DR and GOOGLE. You need to see a professional face to face to be able to get a diagnosis, it is impossible to do online, and a really BAD idea. Self diagnosing just leads to more distress, trust me I've self diagnosed, I'm sure most of us have. I got it all wrong and learned my lesson. It can take time to work through our issues and get a true diagnosis, it's often complicated and what you feel might be wrong may not be at the root of the problem. Start by talking to your primary doctor or GP, don't be scared, it will be ok. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
