Is it okay to maybe not self diagnose but state yourself as having something and making it clear it's not 100%?

I recently found a mental illness that answered questions I've had for many years. I've gone to multiple therapists before and was even on anti-depressants (prescribed) but it's been years and since then, things have changed. The mental help in my country is known to be poor and for a while now the waiting lists for getting help have been incredibly long. I had friends that waited a year just to get into a "counselling" service.

So I've found this thing that I share all the symptoms with, pretty severely too. I worry I might just be clinging onto hope, I've wanted a label because I feel that if you know you have something it can get easier to deal with it. But deep down I just know I'm right. 

I want to be able to explain myself to people. Why I love purging my friend list, why it makes me feel so much more stress free. I don't enjoy the anticipation of waiting for a call that could take a year. It's been three weeks already.

Is it okay to say I probably have this thing? I worry all the time, I know fully well the stigma around self diagnosis yet I like the label. I like being able to just possibly understand myself. I would like others to understand me better too.
