i am always catching myself thinking, oh that was such a typical borderline/obsessive thing to do. i know it isn't right, but to a certain extent, i do define myself by my disorders. how can i stop doing this? the labels do help me stop and think about my behavior, since i have the characteristics of OCD/BPD/bipolar disorder down in my mind, but sometimes i think that i act the way that i am expected to considering the disorders i have. i spend too much time wondering if a certain idea or behavior is characteristic of which disorder. i think that when you have more than one, sometimes it is impossible to pinpoint because they all blend together and create ideas and behaviors that are unique and not easily categorized. thoughts?
