A general tip is if therapy isn’t accessible or you’re debating it, talk a lot with your friends and family and do research with mental health advice columns to learn what exactly your problem could be and methods to cope. self diagnosing is never a great idea, but sometimes it’s necessary to try and combat whatever problem you’re having. and if you do self diagnose, try not to look at the symptoms or you might placebo yourself into having them so you fit the illness more, or describe symptoms you don’t have to a therapist to get a certain diagnosis without realizing it
