I felt a sense of closure when I received a diagnosis -- that what I was experiencing wasn't me being dramatic or a hypochondriac. That even though it was "all in my head", I had something to call it. Even though I knew what I was going through for a while, I kind of felt like it was pulling my strings until I could get a grip on it. Having a name for it kind of gave me that power back. I chose not to be medicated for quite some time; but that's what being diagnosed did for me personally.
