Difficult, how is your therapist going to move forward with your treatment in this case? I get that you'd resent the schizo label but at the same time in the end all it ought to be is a tag for professionals to build an effective treatment around, it should never be a reflection of your person or worth any more than a broken bone versus a failing kidney. Nonetheless, I know other people don't think like I do, so even if you did, I get that you might be treated shittily by others and that alone is already something making the label something not great having. I hope what I am trying to convey is still somewhat clear though, that the shittiness of others should not define our worth, even if it is damn hard not to feel like it does.

>I still have them to this day but i don't have that impending feeling anymore that im on a timer and my body is constantly deforming.
That's progress, definitely! I am glad transitioning and proper medication had such am amazing net impact.
>there's still the occasional bad day where I'll feel bad, but I think im setting a good foundation for myself going into the next year.
I'm glad you are making such wonderful progress overall, it's definitely a great foundation. One factor that might remain is circumstance.
As insidious and stupid as it is, anything from minor ailments (vitamin deficiencies, lack of sunlight, lack of sleep..) to higher level stuff like unmet emotional needs can add to depression, even if the root was chemical imbalance.
