I have mixed feelings. Originally when I went to therapy for an eating disorder, I got diagnosed as EDNOS (Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified). I was relieved I didn't meet the criteria for bulimia and a little disappointed that I wasn't "ill enough" to be considered anorexic. It seems silly, but for past me (and many others in the ED world) purging is seen as shameful, so having the bulimia label was a scary prospect.

Beyond that, I also got anxiety disorder-NOS and dysthymia in later years. Those mostly relieved me, because it helped me see that there is a reason that I feel the way I do. It gave a legitimate name to my issues, which helped me recognize my concerns rather than downplay them. I've probably also met the criteria for major depression at various points, but I wasn't concerned with labels at those times. I don't know what I would get now, because none of my previous known diagnoses exist in the same form in the newest DSM.
