Awwww...My Good Friend (((lynn P.)))   Thanks for stopping by my thread, and for your words of encouragement.
As they say, knowledge is power - this knowledge has answered many of the "whys" that I've been wondering about my entire life and, oddly enough, has relieved some of my anxiety! I want to gain as much knowledge and understanding about this condition as possible so that I can develop techniques and skills to deal with it appropriately whether or not I'm able to take meds, and so that I can better empathize with and effectively support others who are similarly afflicted.
This is a huge shift in perspective - my view of myself, my life, others, and the world in general is very different today compared to just a few days ago. Again, WOW!
Hoping you are taking good care of yourself! lynn09
