Hi

I am a little scatter brain due to my current episode and I honestly don't process much atm to be honest

Please forgive my current *scatterbrain* if I have missed the point to you post.

But I wanted to say this is how I personally feel:

I really couldn't care about my dx labels.

It's the least of my concerns.

I pick my battles.

It's a case of "so what" if you know what I mean.

It is of absolutely no significance to me whatsoever.

I have Bipolar.

I couldn't care about the label.

It holds absolutely no relevance or significance to me other than this -

I am acutely aware I have something inside me that I need to keep educating myself on.

It is important for my own wellbeing to be researched in this area so I can understand these mood changes.

I am glad that my pdoc has this name written down somewhere. All this means is that his medical background allows him to think about which medication we can work on together during times when I might be unwell.

I am glad that my psychologist has this funny name written down somewhere. She understands when I cry. She understands when I bounce around her office flinging my shoes across the room for no reason.

I am glad that I may be able to apologise when I am unwell to others or put protective and precautionary measures in place.

I am really glad someone decided to give me this label.

I just really couldn't care about the letters that are used in this label.

They could have labelled me anything really.

"Bipolar"?

No relevance to my personal feelings.
