When diagnosis becomes identity

Posted by skeptic on April 10, 2004, at 20:53:06

Is it just me, or do others on this site find that they have to be careful not to think of themselves as the diagnosis to which their problems have been ascribed?

I feel like pre-diagnosis, I had several valid identities, some relating to my family, some relating to my religion, some related to my ethnic heritage, some related to my alma mater.

Perhaps it's a sign of needing to get more involved in other activities, but just wondering what others' thoughts on this topic are...
