If you asked me a question on the AvPD forum how could I answer you?
I don't have:-
Primary Dx: C-PTSD and Severe Chronic Treatment Resistant Major Depressive Disorder
Secondary Dx: Generalized Anxiety Disorder with mild Agoraphobia.
So you might feel ignored however if we happen to answer your question according to our PD thereis good chance that you might snap back or ignore us in return bc what we had to say isn't in keeping with your dx. See it's a balance thing for us where if we're talking to an Avie we understand them making us a little more confident in replying, plus we can back up our answers bc we share similar headspaces and experiences.
If I answered one of your question on some other PD forum and you wanted more information, I'm going to look stupid and therefore I will be pulled apart emotionally by Avie.
You might not snap back at us, but we don't know that bc we're talking from different PD perspectives.
Thanks for replying Seesaw.

Because the forum is also there for those who are seeking information. Not just for those with official Dxs. If I came to that forum, wondering if perhaps I had that Dx and my doctor was overlooking it, I might ask some questions. But as it is, yall jump all over anyone or ignore anyone who doesnt have an official Dx. Just like you are snapping at me right now.
And FYI, what you quoted is what I've chosen to share. Dont believe you know everything about someone and what they may or may not be diagnosed with.
And you know, anyone could say they have a Dx. How are you going to verify that everyone who goes in there has that Dx? And again, even when people are searching for answers the people who are Dx'd ignore them.
People might post or respond to a post in those forums bc they see that someone isnt getting any responses and want them to know they arent going unheard.
And yet I still dont know what it is that you are asking for. That only people who have the official Dx post there? That's not the intent of the forum. If you want to create a private social group then you can exclude whomever you want, I suppose, but none of the sub forums are exclusive here except the ones based on gender and age, none based on Dx.
You still havent clarified exactly what you are asking for.
