You're the same person you were before you knew the word had been applied to you. If it's helpful in leading you to self understanding, then it's helpful. If it doesn't help you understand yourself, or if you don't think it is an accurate reflection of you, then just put it aside. You're a person not a DSM-IV classification.
Although I do understand. I spent at least a year arguing with my therapist about my "personality disorder". Now it's sort of a standing joke between us.
