Ugh. I'm sorry you are feeling upset and frustrated by them questioning a dx you have worked hard to come to peace with. I would try not to over focus on the label- it is so subjective and there is so much overlap between disorders that I think our current way of diagnosing is shiit anyway. I think it is a very human thing to want a speciifc name to explain what is wrong with us, but the brain isn't like other organs where it is so clear.

If the treatments and strategies that you used in the past helped you that is all that matters. Except for insurance purposes the dx is just a code that is rather meaningless. It gives drs a guide on what meds to try but that's really all it is useful for. So try not to let that become the focus. Just keep focusing on being well. Take care. Hugs.
Thanks for this!
