>> But then I realized I had my answer to your question. If I thought the treatment was working sufficiently, I wouldn't be so obsessed with finding a label, would I? A sobering realization to a sobering question. Thank you.
Actually, I thought you were doing OK. Opps !
You see, i find a lot of folks want to deny their illness. They want proof they are X, and if there is not a hard test, this just supports the process of denial.
Like in a post " I cry all the time, sleep all the time, and don't wash or leave the house. I don't see that I have depression and I don't see how the doc could know I have depression"
We do get these, you know.Clearly you are not playing these games. But I really thought you were doing OK. Redefining
Dx is a good idea if you are not. So my misunderstanding made me think "why mess with the Dx if it is working".
