I'm so sorry you have had these disturbing experiences here on PC. I've written before, & I'll write it again here, everyone here... well almost everyone... is in so much pain... why add to the hurt? I'm not in any position of authority, here on PC. So this is just my personal opinion. But, from my perspective, the fact that you don't have an official signed diagnosis from a psychiatrist should not... does not... bar you from writing that you have it & posting in that forum. I myself have been kicking around the mental health system where I live for 20 years. Yet I have no official diagnosis from any of the mental health professionals I've seen. Does that mean I don't belong here?

I hope you won't allow this incident to put you off of PC altogether. Each member who leaves takes a little bit of us with them. However, if you do decide you simply prefer to have your account closed, here's a link to the FAQ that will tell you how to accomplish that:
