the idea that it takes money to get a dx is wild to me. there are many free clinics in the us (where most people have insurance issues/no insurance)
schedule an appointment at a free clinic or go in and wait if you have phone anxiety and get your dx. they can also set you up with discounted (sometimes free) therapy and psychiatry. many of them also have their own pharmacies right there with discounted medication.
if you can't get to a free clinic because of transportation issues there are quite a few apps with trained therapists that you can download and talk to from your phone and computer at home.
put in the work that all of us do and stop whining about it on the internet.
there's nothing wrong with researching disorders and getting an idea for what it might be but saying you have something without consulting a doctor is not okay.
