What's something that you discovered about yourself only after going to therapy? (sh.itjust.works)

That I have ADHD. Turns out depression and panic attacks were only side effects.

    Not something from therapy per se but I found out antidepressants didn't seem to work for my chronic fatigue symptoms that seemed like depression because I actually had an autoimmune disease called Ankylosing Spondylitis

    I had to find out through my brother being officially diagnosed. Turns out I've always had symptoms, especially hyperfocus.

    Still haven't bothered to get a full diagnosis and medicine. Waiting to see if RFK Jr. is actually gonna build ADHD concentration camps.
