hey. i appreciated your post, place. i thought it was very tactful and i do accept the warning as a friendly warning. i'd hate to be the reason a thread got locked / deleted :-( and that isn't my intention.

i just wonder about that rule... but i'm not supposed to talk about that on the boards so i'll just zippit (hard for me 'cause i like to talk about things out in the open like).

I agree with you that there isn't so very much in a name. You are right, the pain, frustration, disability etc is real and regardless of what they call it it is still very real :-(

Theory and conceptualisation... Can impact the way symptoms are experienced, however. That is why I've personally found that looking at different theories / conceptualisations has helped me make sense of things and it has helped me in my recovery too... But I don't think I'm supposed to post about that either... So I typically stay away from this forum really 'cause I don't want to upset people more than I have already...
