The labels helped me in certain aspects - getting on disability easily (it was very helpful for the 8 years I was on it), receiving accommodations when necessary in college. In these practical aspects, the labels helped.

Aside from that, I don't put much weight on my labels. My "official" diagnoses are Bipolar Disorder and OCD, but it doesn't really change who I am. I'm just someone who has lived experience with mental health issues. I think my lived experience will be an asset in the Social Work field.
