Those acronyms... those labels... sometimes I just HATE those. It seems as if so many things in life, especially when dealing with the complexity of the human brain, are just plain VAGUE and we try so desperately to apply labels and order to it so that it makes some kind of sense! Especially when you get to labeling somebody with three or four different diagnoses... I wonder why we have to try to apply so many different labels to a person rather than treating them as an INDIVIDUAL with their OWN set of issues that might LOOK like a little from column A and a little from column B but is actually column Q. And a different doctor will tell you its column R. We're talking about the brain here... not something obvious like a bruise. So like the others are saying, I would agree that you shouldn't put too much energy into stressing over what one person's assessment of you is. Like you said yourself, she "THOUGHT." She does not KNOW.

I try to look at life this way: there is the future, and things will happen that I may not be able to control (there are enough scary diseases in my family I'm sure I can sit here and play "what if" with each one until I start to take each finger twitch as a sign of impending doom) but right now I am living in TODAY and I want to make that TODAY the best darn-diddly-darn day possible. So focus on what you can do for yourself today and cross tomorrow's bridge when you get to it (easier said than done, I know, but one can always try). Worrying too much will only make you ill.
