"I have to introduce myself by my condition so people understand me."

I REFUSE the lie that I must lead with my diagnosis. IT IS WRITTEN that I am a NEW CREATION in Christ and old things have passed away.

I present myself as WHO GOD SAYS I AM, not what symptoms say. My identity is HIDDEN WITH CHRIST IN GOD and no medical history can touch that truth.
