You are more than your diagnosis. 💭
I know the DSM criteria makes it feel official. Finally, a label that explains everything. 📋
But here's what I want you to consider: Don't identify too closely with that diagnosis.
You are MORE than that label. 🌟
There's a part of you - I call it the silent observer 👁️ - that just watches everything. It notices your thoughts. It notices your feelings. It even notices your diagnosis.
That awareness, that observer? That's the real you. Not the label other people or even you have put on yourself.
Your diagnosis is just one part of you. It's not your entire identity. ✨
When you can connect with that silent observer within, you create space between you and the labels. You remember you're the one experiencing these things, not the things themselves.
You are the awareness. Not the diagnosis. 💫
