GiaK Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 this was a result of musing after listening to a friend's podcast... for those who perhaps have gotten this label along the way... Bipolar: contemplation about the psych label https://beyondmeds.com/2018/05/28/bipolar-contemplation/ – psych labels are horribly sticky things...and so yeah, I'm still working it out of my system...even though I undiagnosed myself years ago and so did the last shrink I worked with actually. He agreed with me. Anyway, if the label was ever applied you know what I'm talking about.

Moderator Emeritus manymoretodays Posted June 1, 2018 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted June 1, 2018 (edited) Your cat pic avatar keeps changing Gia. And sometimes I know you are psychic. Just what I needed today. Thank you. Helped. I think I got down(or up?) to major clinical depression for my last label. I didn't ask. Still working it all out of my system, changing the words I use with myself and others. Clinicians do give me some weird form of PTSD though........maybe just make me nervous.

GiaK Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share Posted June 1, 2018 PTS is all the make sense to me at this point...but I won't tack D for "disorder" on the end of it...the only disorder is that which got called "medicine" assaulting my innocent body. I have two beautiful black kitties that endlessly brighten my days as well.
