Hi beyondhelp87
Welcome to PC. I missed your first post in the new member introductions forum. It is very true that you are not your disorder. You are your name and you have major depression. I have always believed that we should not say....I am depressed or I am bipolar. You are not your illness. You are a unique human being with an illness. All I can say is that you are most correct. I hope that you are doing ok and please keep reaching out at home and here. ((hugs)) |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
