Is that all he said? Based on what? It seems like he's talking out his butt if youll pardon the expression. Just becasue he is a medical professor does not mean he is correct. If youre an ***, getting a degree will probably not make you less of an ***. It will just make you an *** with a degree.

I mean, a diagnosis isnt EVERYTHING and we are certainly more than whatever label is put on us. BUT. Finding out that Im borderline certainly has helped me recognise symptoms and deal with them much better than I have in the past. It didnt just appear, it came from abuse. But its a relief to be able to have a chance to get my act together. The dx was certainly not a shot in the dark, it fits, and it helps.
