Hi UpDownMiddleGround, I'm sorry you're feeling "dragged down" by your dx, but just remember you're way more than just a dx
And you'll fit into so many other "categories" too, "categories" you can feel really proud of/good about........whether you're sensitive, caring, reflective, even whether you have a "good" taste in music .........whatever those "categories" are.
And the dx with the meds for the dx........well they should really give you the help to be you, right?? Which is going to be much more than any one/two/three............particular "category/ies".
