Repeat after me!

I may HAVE aspergers, social anxiety disorder and depression,
But I AM ME!
Replace my conditions with yours and repeat
This is meant to be a mantra you could have and use if you're feeling down about your conditions and you feel as if they define you. They dont! It is also meant to encourage you to accept yourself as you are

Sometimes, over time, aspects of your condition(s) become part of you, and it's very difficult to separate yourself from your condition(s). Sad but unfortunately true. It would be nice if such a simple technique could always work, though.

Mmm, when I describe myself I have to include all these conditions due to their significant impact on my life.
Ohh and i'm not touting this as a foolproof method to help you feel better about yourself just been feeling a bit more positive lately!

Oh, I am just me!

A diagnosis would be fine (I have grown up and mature without a diagnosis).

I have never had any trouble with defining me, which is odd since I probably lack self esteem and self confidence?

I was born autisitic; it is not separate from who I am, but also not the only thing that defines my identity.

I am as I am, and I love myself as I am.
