I think self-diagnosis like this is a really poor idea. Many disorders, physical and mental, have symptoms that are so common and so general that it takes a professional to really figure it out. Everyone can have mood swings f.ex so who's to say when having them has become symptomatic of disease? Besides, when you do tests or whatever on the internet, often you don't even know who published that test.
When self-diagnosing - at worst, you're just making up new problems for yourself and increasing your anxiety.
