A Superpower, Not a Disability
It's hard when you first get diagnosed with your disability or disorder. In my experience of being diagnosed, I sat in my car staring at the paper my doctor gave me informing me about the results she came to that day during my appointment. I was diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder and Anxiety Disorder. I read the word "disorder" and I automatically just thought there was something wrong with me. I was shocked thinking about this, and it took a while for me to process. At first this was something I didn't want anybody to know about, not even my closest friends. I felt ashamed and embarrassed. However, I realized there are so many people out there struggling with this too, I want to do whatever I can to help them feel better about themselves and assure that they are not alone. There is no reason to be ashamed!
