i think that diagnoses are a double edge sword. sure, they help you change your behaviors when you catch yourself about to act "that way" on the other hand, there is the potential to get discouraged because you have the label(s). that is where i am. i am afraid i won't get anywhere in life because i have the disorders. it is a complex issue. i can't wait to talk with my T on Tuesday about it. i can't help but think that you do partially define yourself by the labels when you get them. i don't see any way around it. do you have any advice on what has helped you not get discouraged?
