Do you ever just feel like you want to get rid of your diagnosis? Like you get tired of carrying around a label? I feel that way so much. A few years ago I was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, and I'm tired of the label. I feel like it's holding me back. Just the thought of having a mental illness doesn't sit right with me. I've been in therapy for several years, many before I knew of a diagnosis. I use to accept the diagnosis but now I'm just angry towards it. I try to look at it differently. When I go to therapy, I look at is as I'm in maintainence. Bring up only issues that are in the here and now. I look at every thing objectively. Solultion-based. I'm tired of feelings and emotions. I have life to live... goals to meet, and things to accomplish. I have no time for the touchy feely. I'm ready to chuck the diagnosis and live my life as a mental-illness-free person.

I just needed to get this all out. Does anyone else ever feel this way?
