I'm taking part in the 30 Days of Mental Health Awareness Challenge. Every day I'll post in response to their prompts.
Day 2: How do you feel about your diagnosis?
I'm glad to be able to give what is happening in my head a name, and diagnosing means being able to treat, so I feel good about having a diagnosis.
Do I wish like hell there was nothing "wrong" with me? Yes. But a diagnosis is an explanation. When reading up on my conditions, I actually felt a lot better seeing so many things I dislike about myself listed as symptoms, because then they aren't part of me, they're part of this problem that I'm working to contain.
