Scared of getting diagnosed

[00.mmc]

my father is neurodivergent and my mother suffered from some other shit (no idea what she had).
She was in and out of the psych ward constantly then died.
i’m absolutely not one to self-diagnose because only retards do that shit but since I was a little kid I’ve never felt “normal”
Father wants me to get checked out and diagnosed for whatever. I dont talk to him about this kind of stuff but I guess he just picked stuff up based off how I act and speak
Ive always avoided the possibility of some sort of diagnosis or therapy, I’ve been offered help many times over the years, since I was about 8 and never took it. Avoiding it for so long has made me scared of diagnosis but I might just accept it tbh

What does your father have?

genetics are a big factor it’s time to get diagnosed and live with it
make sure you try and love yourself too it doesn’t define who you are
