This is a pretty poor reply from a moderator. The user you're replying to is correct. Not only that, it is staggering that someone who mods a sub of this type is advocating for self diagnosis. Sharing coping mechanisms is one thing but advocating what amounts to circumventing mental health help is frankly irresponsible. I don’t see how anyone could find it even rational to advocate to the potentially mental ill to diagnose themselves.

Nobody said to circumvent official diagnosis. Stop putting words in my mouth.

It is a logical conclusion to advocating for self diagnosis mate. Given your position within this comm you should seriously consider talking to medical professionals about your view and what they think of it.

Don't put mods on a pedestal.

Actually a fair reply but ~~I think~~ my reply is as well given their potential reach. Anyway consider it either way, never hurts to inform ourselves more.
