My chosen profession is unfortunately acting as my own lawyer, but fortunately I think I got some damn good cases that are very incriminating for my accusers on the facts of the situations.
Nah. No one cares. Having psychiatric diagnoses isn't interesting. What people care about is how people act. Some silly people will be more forgiving when someone has an excuse for poor behavior, such as a mental illness, I guess. I always work under the assumption that poor behavior always has some reason behind it, but poor behavior is poor behavior. Doesn't seem reasonable for someone to want to be close to someone who behaves poorly, even if there are loads of reasons for that poor behavior.
This is the reason why people tend to not behave poorly. You could try that. It seems to be a popular strategy.
You also ought try to get a real profession. They often come with weekly paychecks, which is nice. This allows you to buy things, like nice food. People like nice food.
