In this week's edition of #GoingThroughIt, a letter-writer says their friends won't stop giving them totally unasked-for armchair diagnoses. “I know they mean well, but I have qualms about making generalizations about these conditions,” they write. As columnist Amy Rose Spiegel (verymuchso) sees it, getting an accurate diagnosis takes a lot of effort and then dramatically clarifies your life, so it's normal to want to talk about it often. The letter-writer's friends, Spiegel writes, “are likely riding that high.” Still, “that doesn’t give them the right to foist generalizations onto you about your health.” At the link in bio, read her full advice on how to put an end to these conjectures.
