Can we start saying congratudolences whenever someone with a chronic illness or mental illness gets confirmation of the disorder that they have?


Like, we don't want to necessarily say congratulations when they get diagnosed or when they get proof of a diagnosis because like it's not a good thing they have that disorder, but also we do because the hard work so many people with chronic illnesses and mental illnesses have to go through to get the right diagnosis is worth celebrating in an "I'm sorry you have this, but at least you were right about what you're going through and know for sure now." sort of way. You know? Also, same goes for whenever they can get the right treatment or doctor. You are sorry they had to go through so much trouble to get there, but at least they are now.

This phrase is courtesy of one of my partner's IRL friends.
