The DSM because the test I'd been given had been based on it.

It wasn't a psychiatrist it was a "staff nurse" who was evaluating me for group therapy. In fairness I just made him a little off guard by asking him why his body language was so closed off, it really hadn't been, but it flustered him

i do read other things on top of the DSM, although that is a comprehensive and nice self contained read.

i did once contridict my consultant psychiatrist.. and he conceeded my point.

i think part of the challenge is to be able to turn the tables successfully on people who should know better... it's just satisfying.

i talked to a T informally online once, within 24 hours she'd agreed to refer herself to therapy.

ugh god I need more self restraint.

i think part of me wants to try and fail, to give me the security of the knowlwsdge that i couldn't do it if i wanted too.
