Luce, yeah, it's really frustrating even though I'm a lucky one for various reasons.

My pdoc diagnosed me with the least-stigmatizing diagnoses he could: GAD and social anxiety.

Still, having any MH dx in my public healthcare records suck.

Good thing I only got diagnosed *after* I was confirmed full-time in my current job so I'm protected by union in certain ways (harder to fire).

How ironic that it was a forced department transfer in my current job (into a new role vastly different and with a lot more social interaction) which led to my coping crashing and my entry into the public MH system.
