Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I think the point is that your therapist should have had a constructive conversation. Learning that you have a particular condition shouldn't have been the end point. Rather, they could have discussed with you how this particular condition might make certain problems more or less likely, so that you can be better prepared to handle challenges in the future, or so that you'll be able to recognize them should they arise.
In other words, it should have been the kind of conversation where you start off feeling somewhat apprehensive, but end up on a somewhative somewhat positive note because you're gaining greater awareness and therefore control of your own life. It doesn't sound like that happened, so perhaps you want to get a second opinion.
