Don't get too excited about self-diagnosis.

There are two common fallacies:
- thinking everything you read applies to you
- thinking that nothing you read applies to you

Let the counselor do the diagnosing - otherwise, you'll waste emotional energy on something that may not even be real - and you need to reserve as much energy as you can.
