I'm wondering if part of your frustration may be coming from the fact that not many members are aware of your disorder, what it entails, how it affects you personally and the like. Sometimes, in our want to be supportive, there may be some questions or even assumptions (we're all guilty of making them from time to time) that may seem as though they are mocking you or not believing you. No one here should EVER question another member's diagnosis. If that ever happens, I really hope that you would let one of the Community Support Team members know this by either reporting the post or pm'ing one of us.

I will tell you that I do not understand what your disorder is all about. I haven't had a chance to read up on it, but I do hope to soon. Maybe it would be helpful to the members and to me as well, if you could possibly go into teaching mode for a bit. Maybe sort of a question and answer about your disorder and how it affects you and what you have learned about it. It's just an idea and of course it's totally up to you if you want to do something like that or not.

I know I have learned much in my years here at PC from members like you who suffer from illnesses and disorders that I had no clue about. I appreciate them for sharing their troubles and good times with us and giving us the chance to learn and grow and to ultimately support them.

Just wanted you to know that I do care how you feel and what you are thinking here yellowted.
Thanks for this!
