It's just a diagnosis, right? It's not saying that you have to make it something to define you...you are never your diagnosis. Sure, it may explain a few things as to why you feel or do certain things, but it's not you.

I've been tossed a bunch of diagnoses my way but I'm not gonna listen to something that is basically there to categorize me into a group...I tell everyone I"m just a product of society.

I'm afraid to go out of my house...sure it's called agoraphobia...but I don't have to let the fact that I'm diagnosed with agoraphobia control me or my life.

I hope this helps a little.
