> Not taking it very well...
I had a bad experience a few months ago at another support site. A guy said he'd never gotten an official diagnosis. He once started to describe his symptoms to a doctor, but the doctor was so cold that he decided against saying any more. This guy described his symptoms on the other forum, and wondered if it might be OCD. I thought it sounded more like bipolar, so I said so. Two of the moderators jumped all over me, writing, "How dare you offer a diagnosis! Only a doctor is qualified to diagnose a patient. You have no right, etc." The guy wrote me that he appreciated my post. Still, I haven't posted at that other site since then. I appreciate the air of civility at Psycho-Babble. Dr. Bob has a lot to do with it.
