Hello there,
Thank you for continuing to be a part of the Health Storylines community. Receiving a mental health diagnosis can be overwhelming, especially when you have been exposed to the stigma surrounding mental health your entire life. It can cause you to question your identity and affect your self-esteem.
It’s important to remember that you are not your diagnosis. But your diagnosis can be a source of empowerment for you.
