This. I too am very high functioning and often feel disbelief of my label. But when I do realize that I *am* better functioning on meds, and more even, I think there must be something to the diagnosis.... or whatever it is, as long as something I'm doing works, good!

It takes time to process and integrate this idea into your identity. Hang in there.
