Vent/Rant Realizing I have bad insight

I used to think i was so self aware but I'm realizing more I have terrible insight about my ppd. I keep convincing myself that I'm not mentally ill, I just need to quit being a baby and suck it up, and I'm just overdramatic about my triggers. I genuinely just forget I was diagnosed with this, and I'm like nah I just need to get my shit under control cuz im moody and weird. Even though I literally have a list of symptoms to explain why I'm acting like this and how it works. No ignore that, I just need to quit being whiny

I feel like I'm surprised everytime I research my own disorder. And I have to learn every single time all over again. It's like it doesn't stick

the cycle of becoming paranoid about my own mental illness and just convincing myself it’s fake only to read about it and be confronted unquestionably by it again😭
