I guess when it was new I took it on as part of my identity a lot more. It seemed important to me for understanding myself and getting others to understand me. It's gotten less important over time. Now I'm just glad I have it because under parity law it means my insurance pays for therapy. I hope having that label in my files doesn't come back and bite me somehow.
