Hello Bats: I'm sorry I cannot really answer your questions.

However I noticed this is your first post here on PC. So...

to PsychCentral… from the Skeezyks!

May the time you spend here be of benefit.

By the way, I've never actually been diagnosed with anything either by any of the mental health professionals I've seen over the years. And I have pretty-much no memory of anything prior to age 8.
PsychCentral is a great place to get information as well as support for mental health issues. The more you post, & reply to other members’ posts, the more a part of the community you will become.

Plus there are social groups you can join & chat rooms where you’ll be able to connect with other PC members in real time (once your first 5 posts have been reviewed & approved.) Lots of great stuff! So please keep posting!
