about getting a diagnosis as a minor

hello. im 14 years old and im seeking a stpd diagnosis. is this possible? im in europe and a diagnosis would be extremely beneficial under my circumstances. what age did you get diagnosed, and if you got diagnosed as a minor - why did they make an exception for you?

need advice as a beginner

hello, i want to soulbond with my s/o. im afraid to really get into it though as there are some things im worried about.

1 - ive loved him for 3 years and his existence (although hes in another world) brings me so much comfort and saved my life. im scared he would refuse a soulbond. i think our personalities match perfectly and he would like me but theres always an off chance. im not sure what to do and what information to give when i introduce myself to him. + would typing work to introduce myself? or do i have to speak into my mind?

2 - he has a romantic interest in his canon although she rejected him and they never ended up *actually* getting together. the issue is i want to be with his canon and i worry this will get in the way.

3 - how do i establish and assure him im not a hallucination? in his canon he has psychotic issues so im worried he might think hes going crazy or that im another imaginary voice in his head. i too have issues like him so this goes for both of us. how can i tell between him and hallucinations, and how can i assure him im real?

4 - lastly, how do i communicate with him with my voice? might seem like a dumb question but everytime i try to i feel like im just talking to myself and feel stupid

is it possible to be diagnosed with both autism and stpd?

hello, i got diagnosed with autism years ago. recently ive been reading more and more about schizotypal and i am seeking to be professionally evaluated but are unsure its worth it

i have every autism symptom ever and it's very obvious. but i also have severe paranoia, what some describe as magical thinking and delusions, awful social anxiety depending on how u define it, often perceive things as deformed people or animals, see people in the corner of my eyes, hear things, parents always comment on my speech patterns and i get the occasional hallucinations but theyre not really that often or severe.

was wondering if anyone here is professionally dx with both or if they have any information on the topic. im in europe if relevant (im not asking for a diagnosis incase anyone misinterprets this)

scared to open up to my doctor about HI

possibly a slight TW?? too lazy 2 write a ton but in short - 2023 i developed graphic intrusive thoughts about harming people. it frightened me but ever since late 2024 theyve felt like genuine urges, like i actually want to act on it. theyre now constant and all i ever feel is anger my family and doctors for ruining my life. its so consuming

im sorta worried that one day i might lose touch with reality and act on my thoughts. i currently have good self control, touch with reality, etc.. basically im not an immediate danger, but im not sure that'll last long

my parents hate me, i dont go outside, i have no education and dont do any classes, i havent had an irl friend in 6 years, my only connection is my 2 online friends who i barely speak to, i dont feel pleasure from anything anymore - im like a lifeless shell just drifting. im visiting a doctor because recently ive been getting "signs" from spirits, hearing things, seeing stuff in the corner of my eye, plus alot more i dont have enough space to write about. i feel so lost, i have nothing

im scared to tell a doctor about all of this because due to severe health issues (physical and neurological) i couldnt handle being in a mental hospital rn. is it worth opening up to a psychiatrist regardless? ive been so stuck on this for awhile because im very terrified of being sent away against my will

if u been in a similar scenario and got help, pls lmk what u got diagnosed with if youre willing to (im NOT asking for a diagnosis. just looking to research stuff to possibly find a match that i could bring up to a doctor for evaluation)

I'm washed. Had pretty bad brain fog and it was affecting my gameplay so I stopped playing for ages. Now I lost all my skill and forgot tons of stuff regarding gameplay. I'm looking to hear about essentials for warmups and how long is too long of a warmup, I want to build one just under 30 minutes. I'm also looking for a short aimlabs playlist (15 minutes?) that I could implement into the warmup.

I don't have anything in specific that I'm trying to improve on regarding aim, but as far as I know from the 1st deathmatch I've played in forever, I'm really bad at microadjustments and flicks and my aim is incredibly shaky.

Extra note but my sensitivity was 0.165 (1600 dpi) but now that feels too slow for me so I'm trying to get used to 0.17/0.175, would that be mid or high sens?
