I'm ambivalent about it. On the one hand, it's validating that my spoils are not just for attention. On the other hand, I feel very broken and defective (that feeling is confirmed by interactions with the general health community)...
While a diagnosis has helped in some respects, it also brought some unpleasant consequences - being dismissed for health concerns mostly.
I think incorrect diagnoses have been worse than the more correct ones though.
