I think labels can be used situationally. Like if you were going to a social group for non-binary folk, the label "non-binary" could be one of solidarity and community. However, identifying as non-binary in the workplace would likely feel very different.

There's a line that I like about statistical models that feels like it also applies to labels:

"All models are wrong, some are useful" - George Box

Non-binary doesn't have to be the right label for you for it to be a useful label in understanding yourself and how you would like to relate to the world.

It sounds like you're doing better than you were, and I hope you continue to grow in strength and wellness, and I wish you a future full of people who cherish your existence.
