I'm not going to join the pile-on and for once around here, I am going to take the T's perspective and say that she might have been trying to bolster those parts of you that do remain so functional and help you to see your strengths.

I fit with most of this group in that I'm functional enough to hold down a complex job, have a social life, contribute in many ways to the community, *despite* ongoing depression and anxiety. So I get this response, but on the other hand, your T may just be unwilling to label you in such a way that the diagnosis becomes an albatross around your neck and something that shadows and holds you back. Maybe this T is trying to show you your strengths.

Just a thought.
Thanks for this!
