First, getting help is so smart - it's not a weakness. Looking back I realize that a diagnosis is really a label for symptoms. We need a diagnosis for health insurance and other assistance. I'm not sure the diagnosis is always correct. I want to understand my symptoms and learn how to manage them and not just with medication. I am not defined by my diagnosis.
