[QUOTE="Beating-My-Betes, post: 2457940, member: 532959"] Well, at least now you have some kind of safety-net. But I think it's worth examining this idea/label you've given yourself. I'm not at all qualified to psycho-analyse, Im just quite familiar from considering my own experience and others't hat these labels (whether placed on us from an external source or our own internal beliefs) can be left-over from a time when they might've applied, and no longer serve us, or may even have [I]never[/I] really been true. Even if you always acted this way, that doesn't mean it's hard-encoded into your very fabric, and unchangeable. Of course, the fact that you've accepted the medication seems to be you acknowledging that this is the first step away from such diametrically-opposed extremes. But you still start the post off saying you are an all-or-nothing person. Perhaps, with time and self-examination that label will give way and you'll eventually hit on Buddha's (Or Goldilocks') middle-path i.e Not too much; not too little...but, just exactly what you need to do. All the best :) [/QUOTE]
