[Minnehaha]

Hello! My name is Minnie and I am an emigré from Psycho-Babble. Not sure where to introduce myself, so the General forum seemed as good as any.

My diagnoses are Bipolar Type 2 and OCD. Though I used to agonize over whether or not I had the right DXs, I've reached the point where that matters to me less than just finding the lifestyle changes and therapy that work for me. (As of the last 6 months: so far, so good.)

So I'm just wading into PsychCentral to see how it goes.

Minnie

PS: Are there any particular icons you're supposed to use with certain types of posts?

Welcome to psychcentral minnie. If you click on the Post Icon: over on the left side of the reply window, you can choose which icon you wish. .

If it is anything that might be triggering, do use the "trig" icon. Pretty much the rest is a choice. Also, it isn't a requirement that you "reply to" the originator of the thread, as DocJohn has given us the Quick Reply option. (This adds your post as next in line to whomever happened to post before you.)

Welcome to Psyche Central, Minniehaha! Love that name!

You can also call me Tomi if you like. (pronounced Tommy, but I'm female )

[Minnehaha]

Thanks for all the warm welcomes. I tried to reply privately to every post, so if I missed anyone, please accept my apology. (Still getting familiar with how to use this forum.)

I look forward to getting to know you all better!

Shatze did you find it? Reread my post... when you reply directly to a particular member (from the edit reply tabs up on the right side,) then the "smiley" listing for Subject line icons is above the window. When you reply using the Quick Reply (which is directly below all the posts in the thread,) then it's on the upper left side outside the response window. Find it? It's the red circle with the x through it.

If you wish to know what each smiliey icon means, hover your cursor over it and a word tag will come up.
