I have decided that I need to shed labels and start my life fresh. As part of that endeavor, I am no longer going to refer to myself by an attachment label. I feel that much of what I have struggled with has tied to an imbalance in my serotonin levels and now that I am on a more appropriate medication, I can handle things better. I am not looking to date, but rather....I am focused on learning about me. What I like and don’t like....for far too long I have tried to understand myself through labels that were put upon me by others, whether I agreed with them or not...and I am awakening to the fact that labels are just arbitrary ways to either belong or be separate....and I don’t need that. In addition,I am wiping my dating history clean because I don’t need to revisit the past. The past has had it’s place, but I am now on a different path.

This is excellent news - from personal experience the theory is necessary and useful in the beginning to understand how we arrived where we are now - but getting hooked up in theory provided me with and excellent way of getting stuck in a hopeless behaviour cycle that was difficult to break. Breaking patterns so often requires being able to truly be present with the moment and the emotions and thoughts that come up without being tied into them - and theory, if you're an analyser like me, is a great way of getting tied into the story whilst avoiding the difficult healing part. Bravo tnr9.
