It is ridiculous. I used to feel like it somehow made me “less than,” but then realized that was BS. I spent years with generalized anxiety disorder and developed panic disorder as a teen after an episode of asthmatic bronchitis (because nothing like experiencing not being able to breathe right or well to suggest to a brain predisposed to anxiety that maybe it can’t breathe even when it can). I lived without a diagnosis for so long. I’ve fought that war. I don’t consider having accepted a peace treaty (aka the meds) failure. I consider it success.
