This does change your life.

Vent sesh-

“It doesn’t change your life” the words the doctor said when she told me. The words the therapist told me after I went to therapy for the first time because this diagnosis caused me to feel lower than I’ve ever felt. The words I see you guys post on here all the time. Any time someone post for advice, I see it in the comments. But this does change your life. This changed my life. I’m not the person I was 2 years ago, when I went to the doctor. I want to be her again. But I’m stuck with this for life and the stigma around it fucked me up so bad that I can’t even tell anybody. This changed my life.
