Psychiatric diagnoses are supposed to be given responsibly by competent, responsible medical professionals, after spending enough time with the patient/ client, asking questions, taking notes, studying notes, taking time to consider this or that, meeting with the patient again… not haphazardly, like you described

you are correct, i just don’t have that, would love to have it though

 because I expect it to be difficult for me

then don’t, i was just surprised by your amazing replay, i would like to make our conversation as easy as possible for both parties

It all fits, doesn’t it, and features of the diagnoses you considered for your self are all included in the MDD diagnosis

perfect description, because here where personality disorders and mental disorder separate, the person who has a mental disorder knows he have something unusual, alien to him, where the one who has personality disorder feel what you just said as a natural thing of his self, If i truly have only depression, taking medication and a healthy lifestyle would get me back on track, but when i look at the things i have to do to “get back at track”, they are a part of me, i simply can’t change them, im by default lazy and don’t enjoy a lot of stuff, i talked to a lot of depressed people, and most if not all always gets better either in time or by taking meds and therapy, right now even if i have therapy i won’t make effort to change, you know what i dislike ? when some people (norimes) use the same illness, the same name, while they clearly aren’t like me, so i refuse this label, yes i admit i do have MMD, but im not like the ones who have it, i hate when they come to me and offer advice, like they have a single idea what is like to be me

 I know that you hate those positively biased appraisals

you know too much about me

Here is my “diagnosis” for you: Depressive Realist Truth Seeker

how about BER (baby escaping responsibility), although i really don’t see the need to use depressive, since depression can be fixable, i take meds for anhedonia, i take meds for serotonin, i change bad beliefs and im good to go, but i really don’t see that possible for me, not because i can’t. but won’t.

by the way i thought about my past replies, i think i repeat myself a lot, i say the same things over and over again with different words, i will keep track of this issue

Do negative or depressed people see the world more realistically?

i think it really depends on the person, i don’t like the hasty generalization, i also think we should also address the fact that most of them focus on the negative side of things mostly (me included)
