@Friday Ok, understood!
But in my defense, I did say that I'm going to have professional help in the very first paragraph of my first post.
And it came up multiple times afterwards, including before posts to which people accusing me of refusing to seek professional help actually responded to. I'm just slightly allergic when I get the feeling people read inattentively or only what they want to read. Including on insisting that I refuse to trust a professional/the diagnostic process only one or two posts after I specifically say that I AM in therapy and DO have official diagnoses.
But maybe that's really just me and my personal expectations.
My sincere apologies for being argumentative. I'm really not trying to cause any trouble or be a trouble-maker. I'm generally not in a very good place, currently and easily "triggered". It is absolutely not my intention to discuss or question moderator advice/comments/decisions. Really just trying to explain myself and the angle I'm coming from, mostly to resolve conflict.
I will think about opening a diary thread. Not quite sure if and where, yet, but I will stop using my intro thread as a diary. But maybe someone could update the title to indicate the changes and reference the last couple pages or, if I make one, a diary thread?

Hello everyone,
I came across this forum by chance after searching for "high-functioning PTSD". First thing first: I am not diagnosed with PTSD - or any other mental illness, for that matter (though I do suspect GAD as a minimum, based on diagnostic criteria and stories from affected people). I do, however, finally have a therapist appointment later this month. I've been trying to find all information possible and I figured, I might as well just ask here. I obviously don't mean to self-diagnose, and I also don't want to be disrespectful to those who are truly suffering, I certainly don't want to be or come across as an imposter.
