First of all, this is not about my sexuality or gender identity (I'm also struggling to find out about these but they don't stress me) but about me in general. I feel as though I am able to understand myself somehow but everyone else just doesn't. It would make things so much easier if there was just a word to tell me I'm not alone and this is normal and not just made up or whatever. Just a word. I've always been a paradox, someone who's really patient and impatient at the same time (just an example). I'm nearly always both and there are moments where I get so overwhelmed by my thoughts that I can't take it anymore although I'm more of a logical person normally. When I think I found a word that describes me, it always just fits half, I'm not autistic or have anxiety although it would fit me sometimes and this just stresses me out so much because everytime I think I've finally found a word I realize that only parts fit me so all I know is that I'm not "normal". But what am I then? Me? Of course, but that's not enough for me. I always wanted to understand and it's so exhausting when you understand yourself but at the same time don't know what's going on. I can't even put it into words properly, every time I try, I just can't get myself to describe how it feels. All I know is that I feel so alone. Sorry for ranting, it just had to get out. I'm very grateful for this place and every answer I'll (hopefully) get :)

Hey I don't know if this will help at all, but I also struggled with trying to label myself, a eventually I realized it's better to look at the puzzle than to be a piece of it, I guess is the best way to put it. Celebrate your youness, and if it's a mental health thing that you need medicine for remember you know more about you and how you feel than any doctor, it took me a long time to figure that out don't know if it applies but maybe it will help someone else.
