My feelings have gone back and forth throughout the years. It gave me comfort to get diagnosed in order to receive the right treatment.

The only time I really get triggered when I see it on paper, like when I have to submit insurance claims. Although I know my diagnosis is very real, it makes it all too real actually seeing the label under my name. Maybe it makes me feel like just a diagnosis and not a person when I see it in writing, if that makes sense. But overall, I do accept it and have been dealing with this for so long.
