We should not tell other members they "have" or "have not" got some kind of illness. Either way is diagnosing isn't it? All we can do is give our own personal experience with symptoms that a member may offer. I think it's safest to always make posts with "I" statements instead of making them generalizing or insinuating that everybody with a specific symptom has "X" or "Y".
I think it's pretty safe to say that suggesting that a member get to a professional for a dx is best. I think it's also safe to say that "it could be" and insert specific info to back up your thoughts. Many symptoms overlap into many different diagnosis in mental illness, not to mention physical illness as well. That's one of the reasons why it's not good to dx another member along with a myriad of other reasons.
I hope this makes sense to you jimi...
