Same here. After a diagnosis, one is able to give in and learn how to cope with it instead of fighting it, struggling and letting it lead to self deprecation.

Strategies and research about it aside, the fact that one can come to "accept" oneself despite that condition is very important for general mental health.

I still wouldn't wish it on anyone but personally I'd always accept my self as a valid human with a valid life despite that.
