now that i think about it, i can't think of a time that i have behaved a certain way BECAUSE i have the label. it seems the other way around. i usually stop what i am doing or about to do because i have the label. so it most be helpful. i think that i feel constrained by the labels because i do not associate success with having them. and i want very much to succeed. i wonder what percentage actually get where they want to be out of those who have these disorders? i suppose it really doesn't matter, but i want to know! i am like a cancer patient in that i want to know my chances. ok, so i have more control than a cancer patient does. still want to know!
