Doubting my diagnosis before starting DBT therapy

I’m starting DBT therapy soon and I’m doubting I have this disorder a lot . I’m not sure I’ve been obsessively googling it and comparing symptoms.

When I first got my diagnosis I fought against it so hard I wouldn't let it go on record for two years. I was just hugely in denial about my patterns and refused to acknowledge and validate my feelings. Now I've come to realize it's extremely accurate, although I don't outwardly display it like many do.

it is interesting that you fought to keep it off your diagnosis list. I have always felt that something was severely wrong with me. I always felt like an outsider even as a kid. I was just diagnosed with this after pushing to find an answer. This is the closest answer that I have been able to find.
