That's great---I mean to me the dx's really offer little insight at all---I'm glad you've been able to stay out of the system...it really the changes how you feel about yourself and even how society works in general...it's made me so much more insecure----I sometimes have to walk through the psych offices to get to my department office and I always sort of wince and feel like they might just jump out and grab me and lock me up or something. I mean I know that would never really happen---but you know for a split second you think what if...
