that's what my Pdoc told me today. I told him I was an extremist. He told me,
I was not, I was a person with severe mood swings, and he's going to help me get through it. I liked him today, anyone else have this theory??

I like that outlook of not labelling yourself. Especially with diagnostic labels.
seems he may be a reasonable doc.

I have a diagnosis, but it is not me. I have bipolar, I am not bipolar.

Thanks everyone, I feel like he gave me a good tool today! Astone131, I feel your pain, I never tell, only my husband. I tell my co-workers I go to therapy for night terrors, as well as grief counseling. It seems like not a day goes by, that someones not using the term bipolar in a very derogatory way. Hang in there, pull that strength from within out, you are not alone!!

I try not to let that label define who I am as a human being.How other people see me with the "label" is an entirely different matter though.
