hugs back!!!!
But, honey, you could have and can "undo" words.
I'm still glad he is being careful. I am still glad he didn't diagnose you.
But, if anyone ever does diagnose you, get a second or even a third opinion.
And even when you are satisfied with the diagnoses, don't let in define you or even define your "diagnoses”
You are you!! There are many parts of you, not just diagnosis, not just bipolar or major depression or whatever it is... You have a unique personality and soul different from all other bipolar...
And even within diagnoses, people are way, way different.
Two people can have bipolar, and still have a lot of different symptoms and those symptoms can manifest in different ways and in different severities.
So, don't let a diagnoses be "all powerful". It really just is a word. A label. It's important, yes. But only in that it will help the doctors help you live a less symptomatic and therefore happier life.
And it really, really is only useful for the doctors in communicating between themselves and insurance companies (so they can get paid and stay in business to keep helping you).
