Some of us here let it be known that none of us are acting as professionals. I surely hope that's the case. I wouldn't trust a Ph.D. student, even if I could verify the credentials, since this person is not yet a professional!

I mention a Ph.D. in social psychology (not clinical or counseling) in my "about me" because I did earn that degree but lost my career as a college professor when I became mentally ill. I just don't want to give up my whole identity to my disorder. I hope that's not what you're talking about.

I do know that the moderators watch out for members who give advice/ try to diagnose from a professional perspective. If we find any, then we tell them to cut it out, but only respond as a fellow sufferer/friend. Please report anyone you think is trying to act as a professional. Thanks!
