Kaarine's book has empowered me though, it made me realise that I am not my label. Its also got me thinking intellectually about the fixed sense of the "I". Our belief in it is so powerful that giving someone a label with such connotations as Schizophrenia can really destroy someones life, but a lot of that disempowerment is our belief and faith in the sense of self and our acceptance of place and roles based on our sense of self plus what we are told we are. And other peoples conceptualisation of what some one with that label should be like.

Its also got me thinking about conceptualisation and the trouble it causes.
