I have been misdiagnosed. People do that. Every day. They misdiagnose. I am one of those people who will believe whatever bad that people say about me. Because I grew up having to believe all of the bad things that were told to me. So I do not have a real sense of self. I will take on whatever anyone wants to define me as. Its like the computer program called " me" has been deleted. And the default is sort of picking up fragments of whatever anyone puts in my computer that relates to me. So yes, I would take on a misdiagnosis. And I would be upset about it, if it did not fit. But would not know how to hit the delete button.

But there are ways to work on that. There is a way to slowly re-establish the computer program of "you". As you build that program, the good things you and others say about you will have a place to fit inside. Just my opinion.
IF you live in the USA perhaps you might want to call United way ( usually the phone number is 211) and asking them if there is any low cost mental health counselling in your area. Dont know if this idea appeals to you.
Thanks for this!
