does anyone else struggle w adjustment disorder? i was diagnosed w it two months ago but i still don’t have a full grasp on what it is tbh… when i try to do research, i feel like its just telling me ive been diagnosed with overreacting.

ok so from some very basic googling and such, I’ve gathered that it is very vague (reading the symptoms I was like, wtf do i have this?), and also might just be kinda a place holder for insurance purposes until a more concrete diagnosis is reached. here’s a reddit thread about it, where people who have been diagnosed with it explain: https://www.reddit.com/r/TalkTherapy/comments/pywdy3/i_was_diagnosed_with_adjustment_disorder/

i saw a lot of ppl talking about it as a placeholder but i was diagnosed w it the same time as adhd and an ed (like all in one session lol)

maybe it’s like like “u have adhd and an ed… and something else going on”? have u considered autism at all? the symptoms of adjustment disorder kinda remind me of autism (I have that one☝️) and also it’s closely related to adhd.

my psychologist STRONGLY hinted at it but legally couldn’t say that bc it was a screening for adhd. she also suggests i don’t get tested yet bc of the govt, but kept on hinting that she’s almost positive i have it

maybe the adjustment disorder diagnosis is explained by autism. It could be a lens to view your symptoms through.
