In reply to so now T knows... and I get another label, posted by sunnydays on June 6, 2008, at 11:31:48
I agree with Muffled-- labels are just labels-- you didn't just start this struggle because you got a label-- it's been a part of you for a long time-- you are still you.
I have several "labels" too. (PTSD, OCD, major depressive disorder recurrent- moderate, and various personality disorders and dissociate at random) I think we are not defined by our labels- they are just a mere part of us that is always subject to change.
Maybe think of it this way-- knowing what you struggle with gives you a direction to go, to work on things-- being given a label can be a positive thing if used to ones benefit. gives one a starting point sort of.....
It sounds like your T. is very understanding-- that's a plus. :o)wishing you inner peace,
