I think you misunderstand me. We get coping mechanisms but understanding them, what they are and why they happen makes a world of difference. Which you get from being diagnosed. But getting better from them isn’t always about medication, it can be about developing those natural mechanisms further and supplementing them with other stuff, like my little notepad I mentioned. Exercises like that, that help with memory and focus and whatnot. That’s what I was getting at.
But how does going through life undiagnosed and struggling help you develop coping mechanisms better than being diagnosed and knowing why you are struggling?
That’s not what I said. I said that going undiagnosed for a certain amount of time you get coping mechanisms. That didn’t mean they are 100%. If you kept reading you’ll see that I got diagnosed so why would I use my example to say being undiagnosed forever is good?
