God dam it when you look at my signature it has so many axis one disorders. Half I don't even quite fully understand them. If I get one more diagnosis I'm going to friek.

a few things to consider, though they've probably already gone through your brain...
--frequently a diagnosis is a work in progress...something that a provider thinks you might have, but isn't completely sure about
--it's fortunately not a contest...having more or less doesn't really matter. what matters is how you're handling them and if you're seeking help
--and on that note, a lot of diagnosing is designed to help you get more appropriate treatment--different things work better for people with different illnesses, and different illnesses present different concerns for providers. so, although it might seem frightening or stressful, which is understandable, it's designed to make life easier and better in the long run.
--above all, you're still you. regardless of what labels get tossed onto you, you fundamentally exist underneath all of them. so try to focus on your own awesomeness and not on the labels.
