I'm glad you're feeling better about it. I think it's helpful to remember that it is just a description of your behaviors as they are now. If you don't like what your behaviors cause in your life, you can always use DBT or CBT or other therapy to modify your behaviors so that you are more likely to obtain what you actually want in life.
Of course it isn't that easy. It's what I did as a teen. I modified my behaviors, but didn't deal with the feelings, and now so many years later I'm paying for it. But if you're really lucky you can find a therapy that addresses both feelings and actions.
Best wishes with finding a new therapist.
