Reply to comment by KittikatB in TIFU Buying Tickets For A First Date To A Concert 7300 Kilometres Away. by nocompetition00

Perhaps so, and good to know. However OP had no reason to list a diagnosis in this story, especially when added in randomly during a laughing fit and discussion of getting a refund. Too many people are making self diagnosis these days and it's beyond annoying for those who actually have to deal with it.

As someone diagnosed with OCD, I'm all too familiar with the self-diagnosis annoyance. But we don't know if OP self-diagnosed - just that they decided to add that unnecessary tidbit to their story. You came in hard on them without having all the facts and I just wanted to clarify that not everywhere has shifted the terminology.

I literally acknowledged that some parts of the world still may use that terminology - though when I did research for Germany specifically, they didn't even start acknowledging ADHD as a diagnosis until 2018 and I couldn't even find anything about ADD no matter how I worded my search. If someone can find a source for me, I'd appreciate it.

I came in hard because it was unrelated and the only time I see people using random diagnosis in their stories is when they don't even suffer from it.

Why were you looking for Germany if OP lives in Belgium?

Sorry, I confused another commenters post for being OP.

Edit: Apparently Belgium uses the same rules as I described above. ADD = ADHD. If OP was truly diagnosed, they'd have known that.

Few comments back someone mentioned Germany and for some reason it's what my brain decided to run with 🤣
