Wow. Initially I wanted to post a reply to the OP, then the subsequent posts but then I realized I want to just thank everyone here for this whole thread so far. Why? It's exactly how I have experienced things with people around me that don't understand too and even worse? My wife (soon to be ex) who has suffered her own share of issues for the length of our marriage has been exactly the same. "Don't dwell on the disorder." or "I think you focus on the title of the disorder too much and not enough about what to do about it" How the heck do I find out what to do about what's wrong with me if I don't focus on what's wrong!? Drrrr.

Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone in this.
