I can phrase the question different ways - is a mental health diagnosis a "death sentence" for any kind of quality of life? Does it mean I will be cast out? Does just having the label make me a pariah, an untouchable, a criminal in the eyes of society.
In my eyes the answer to your question is unequivocally NO. For if it were so, then I too would have to suffer as you say above, and everyone else on this forum.....and I do not think that is the case.

This black and white thinking is so hard to see past, I understand that, but it is something I have been slowly learning to do.....I do so hope your therapist can help you with this also Johnny.
