Get diagnosed, it only has benefits. Don't read things on the internet unless it's an official medical website. I have had depressions because I just wanted to be normal, but with my diagnosis and proper education about it (no Facebook groups, TikTok or other bullshit self diagnose/tips and tricks liars), medication and of course therapy with a psychiatrist I got a great life now (steady job, wife and daughter, own house.. ) which before my diagnosis wasn't gonna happen.
