"Some folks are very relieved when they get a diagnosis. It empowers 
them: "Finally I have an answer to the why of my behavior." For me, 
it was disrupting. I didn't want to be part of the stigma of mental 
illness. For me to get well, I had to decide that I'm not ill.

My diagnosis (bipolar) was keeping me in a box. I never accepted it. 
It never felt like me. I'm Amanda."
