I'm glad that your current therapist isn't worrying about labels and is getting on with work. Do you not find having a safe space to talk about anything you want helpful? It's shocking here cos many people with sz & sza labels don't get therapy because 'it's all biological' - even if it was, which I wonder about, people still need support in dealing with it

Thanks Willow. It's just so frustrating! I'm running out of patience with the whole thing. Right now talking has been difficult because of the whole "poverty of speech" thing flaring up for me lately, but it does help to have somewhere safe to go to talk about things or to just be even if I can't say much. I think saying that anything, MI or not, is "all biological" is a stretch. Even if it is all biological it doesn't mean we're somehow not human and don't need support just as much as the next person sometimes.
