At what point do I stop self-identifying as the mentally ill guy? [View all]

Because this 24/7 elephant in the room is getting old. Every waking minute, it's always there, never far in the background even at the best moments, the reminder that I have some form of mental illness, and the thought the I am somehow never going to be free of it, never free to just feel at ease about myself and my life.

Is it just a matter of time, or is there some more active way to come to terms with this knowledge?
