Hi @Appleblossom 

It is good to be back - I needed time out and still I missed everyone. Priorities - priorities

I agree that giving people labels stigmatizes people - everyone is still the same person they were before their diagnosis - yet people are often thrown by what they learn - and it is after all only a professional opinion needed to transfer their therapits thoughts to another professional person,

And don't we label ourselves regardless - oh dear -  whether that is a good idea or not has to be debatable - we are human and therefores all have some kind of disorder to be different. 

We need to have a sense of humour about ourselves - and be kind to ourselves. We can always improve ourselves after all.

But the Disorders we are given can change our lives - how many people are trapped in their disorder? Would they have gone on with more ethusiasm with life had they never learned this?

se names after all - if we don't like our name we can change it. Do our names ever define us? I hope not

Still the medical profession needs to diagnose us. If every state end with Disorder that has to be negative - more to some people than others

My stars - it has started to rain here with heavy hail and thunder - I have an outing today - dental appointment - how disappointing. Haha
