For as long as I can remember people have thought I am mental just because I am rather emotional. I have been labeled as such things as ADHD, OCD, and autistic, none of which I think is true. How can I prove to people that I am not mental while still being my unique emotional self. I don't know how to be anyone but myself and whenever I try to act normal it doesn't feel right and I don't like it and eventually the real emotional me comes out.

have you been to a mental health therapist they can evaluate you and give you a much better idea of whats going on they would beable to work with you and really tell you whats going on thats why they are in the field they are in they have the tools to help you even if its just a emotional disorder you have they can show you better how to handle and you can get records of how they think they can be treated this will tell you if its just a emotional disorder
I have been to mental health therapist and evaluated, which was how I ended up labeled. most of them think I have some sort of mental disability. I don't think anything is wrong with me, not even an emotional disorder. We are all emotional so I don't think emotional disorders are even real. Maybe what I need is prove I can be independent, which I know I will be soon, but my parents doubt I can make it out on my own in an apartment. It seems the only ones who believe in me are what few friends I have.
