if one does not "fit in" how are they labeled? but does one really want to "fit in" if all it does is mess with your head?
>Oh I could go on forever with that comment.. : )
I think about it all the time. I think in so many cases..(certainly not always) the diagnoses of illness is dependant on current values (sometimes whims) of families, and in society.(I hate using the word SOCIETY) It reminds me too much of people on talk shows.. "well the issue here that society needs to address..")
I'm sure that's hardly news to you, of but sometimes I just have to say it because I find it so *&(&(!!frustrating, that the label is often taken it as a basic truth, an absolute, and it destroys people.
Anyway, I'm going off on a tear, about nothing new, so I shall stop.
But yeah, that touched a noive with me.
As you can tell..
