I don't like my diagnosis either.

But it has made me explore this label (and people who fight against it or have overcome it, 'against all odds') I wouldn't research it as much otherwise.
I was also more prejudiced against (if slightly fascinated by) people with it, and now it has happened to me as well. Maybe I'm just learning to accept and love all people as they are - maybe it's just part of a bigger spiritual journey?

I still think maybe it was given to me wrongly (as I've had the symptoms for less than 6 months that it's required to have) and it has possibly been given wrongly to others too.

Panda, you're lucky that you have a 'lesser' diagnosis. I've been 'locked up' in a mental health hospital, and guess what? It was pretty nice and just like being on vacation, mostly. I met some fascinating people there, and generally had fun.

People who might discriminate and look down - well maybe there's something wrong with them? And let's just hope it doesn't happen to them too!!
