> hmmm, interesting...my diagnosis is atypical depression. So if I am following your explanation correctly, then if I perceive any slight, I am "unstable"? If that is what you are saying, I'm offended. And I believe it is the use of such words that perpetuate the stigma of mental illness, and thus, I object to such use.

Only if you have a heightened sensitivity to the perception I would consider that unstable and unrealistic. Just because you regard it as such doesn't mean the rejection was ligitimate and intended to mean harm. You would have to ask the person who you felt rejected by just exactly what they meant.

I wouldn't consider people who are constantly sensitive to to what they *think* is rejection to posess stability by definition in that one particualar area.

I can't change my original post but if you would like to substitute the word "atypically depressed" for "unstable" that would be O.K. as well.
