Hi C.Oliver,

In re-reading this thread it's really struck me how often you seem to describe your feelings and behaviors in terms of diagnoses or other mental health labels. Rather than describing how you feel in terms of your own unique self.

but my OCD brings it up in my head again and again as if the conversations didn't even take place
I also have a 'delusion' that I MUST be on the real thing and not the generic or something bad will happen
Luckily I do have a 'hobbie' or an obsession and that is riding
PTSD talking here

Maybe this has come about because you've been diagnosed/labeled with so many things. But where's the just "you" in all of this, the C.Oliver who thinks and feels as she does because she is who she is, someone struggling with a lot of things, but is far more, and more valuable, than all these pathologies?

Just something to chew on and I hope you get onto a more even keel soon!
