I totally agree. I was talking to a friend of mine who was diagnosed with PTSD when I realized that. He said he may have been diagnosed, but he hated it as a label because it put him down. He said he may jump at a sudden loud noise or get uncomfortable in loud crowds, but he hated to be under the label because it was debilitating. I realized that's how I should be with my stutter.
