Labels

So, I have just learned I may have been misdiagnosed all these years.  That could be good because if that's the case, there are different medications that will work better than the slew of anti-depressants I've been slogging through and reaping few benefits from.  It will take a couple of weeks and some more diagnostic tests, but I'm somewhat hopeful.  The strange thing is trying on a new diagnostic hat, so to speak.  I've spent 20 years or so defining myself as a "depressed" person, at least some of the time.  Now, maybe I've been wrong.  I wonder if changing labels will change the reality I live in.
