I'm going to speak up here and say I understand exactly what you intended, Ascension, and I found nothing offensive about it. In each of the first 2 times I received a diagnosis, depression and then bipolar II, the doctor immediately ceased to probe further even though it is common for people to suffer from more than one condition. The third, from someone I began seeing recently, very quickly came to ADHD.

I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, but I think the idea at the heart of the post was a good one: it is a good idea to educate yourself about mental heath issues. I saw nothing in the post suggesting you were in any way comparing your diagnosis with that of anyone who might read this post. Quite the opposite. I think it encourages readers to better understand their illness.

I think it was a good OP.
