How important is it to you to have an accurate term to describe yourself or your illness? I'm struggling a lot with this. My diagnosis doesn't seem to encapsulate everything that I'm dealing with, and I know objectively that the word doesn't matter, but it is bothering me that I don't have a word for it. I don't even really understand myself or what's going on, but still. I feel like I don't have anything to hold on to. I'm just floating around in drugs and therapy with nothing to tell me where I am or where I'm going. I feel like a hole where a person used to be.
