Dear lark265,
It can be a relief to finally get a correct diagnosis even when at times it is not welcome news. Something like that happened to me although it is still too painful for me to discuss. I will be interested in reading whatever you post about your life. People unafflicted with mental health burdens have no idea how much courage and heroism it takes to bear them. I think you are very noble.
Sincerely yours, Yao Wen
