Oh, how I hate labels.
I wish I could just get a big label that said "PEACHES" or "BAKED BEANS", and wear that to therapy.
The labels feel to me like a condamnation, and the names are so very ugly!!! And frightening. Your psychologist might have considered a different approach. So so many of us are affected by these big ugly names.
You're just you, ok? Sticks and stones.
My T, who is a psychiatrist, says there are too many people in the world for those diagnostic things to be of any use other than as a guidleine. We're all so very different.
Everything Dinah said rings true, and hopefully, othres will respond with good info.
If I were in your shoes, I'd take the info to a T and talk about it.
