I have been told by numerous Pdoc's and T's, to try not to focus on my diagnosis, and more on the symptoms I'm experiencing, and how I can cope well. They've said that diagnoses are mainly for insurance purposes, and not to get hung up on it. This was honestly though, when everyone was telling me I was schizoaffective (a misdiagnosis). My diagnoses, if you feel like knowing (I'm gonna tell ya!) are major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety (apparently), social anxiety (mild in my opinion, though its hard to get myself to go to parties to save my life), I also have trauma. I think it's important not to define myself by these things. But sometimes I forget that. Especially since I'm on disability because of it at the moment. My Pdoc thinks I should start looking for a job, and i do too, because I am pretty functional and feeling better, it's just a change and it's scary. Anyway, I suppose that last part was a tangent.
