Yes be wary of diagnosing yourself. It's one of the first things they warn students who are taking abnormal psych classes. It's easy to see yourself (or others) in many different disorders. But it's really not as simple as ticking boxes. A student may see a lot of traits they have in OCD for example, while being otherwise healthy.

On forums we just can't know enough to diagnose anything. Not even a proficient psychiatrist would do that. And we can't anyways because most of us have no training.

Be open to the possibility that when you get an official diagnosis, it might not be what you expected.

I'm glad you said that you are going to get some help with these things. That's a big step to getting some relief in the things that you've been struggling with.
