Red face Labels....

I call myself an alcoholic (I say I have an addictive personality:

food, alcohol , internet) but don't want anyone else to call me that.
Maybe I feel it is a judgement on their part, judging me.

I don't want to be judged. My medical chart says chronic substance use disorder. I don't like that either. I guess it is a personal thing...they think it is a diagnosis.
It does not define who I am.
bizi
I am ok with being called/labeled bipolar though.

Feeling love and connection is really what life is about.
I want more friends and want a deeper connection with the ones I have left.

What did you think of the ted talk?

If we are talking about love, I suppose we need expand/increase our

experience of it by 1) loving others more, 2) learning to receive love from others, 3) loving ourselves more.

I'm sorry, but I didn't watch the TED talk because I saw that it was about 15 minutes long

I love what Mari wrote

I understand where you are coming from, Bizi. I would not have liked to see that on my chart while I was still drinking for the same reasons either

My old PCP wrote 'major depressive disorder" under the diagnosis section of my chart twice without even asking me how I was feeling, or talking to my pdoc, and obviously you can't have major depressive disorder if you have BPI. It really upset(s) me.
