I don't mean to sidetrack the post but need a minute of clarification.
Raziel, I have PTSD too but I am not familiar with DESNOS...what is that?
Thank you for being so open about all this. |

I finished a puzzle today, and you would not think that this would make me unhappy but when I got a look at all the pieces together it did.
Nobody likes being played for a Fool. Now I have to figure out what to do about it. (sigh) |

| I used to consider both my obsessions, and my stimming, as addictions, because I could not stop them. But I no longer think that's the right way to describe them in my life. Trying to evade your own neurology will always feel really uncomfortable and eventually impossible, that doesn't make it equi... |

| Hope, you are unique no matter what: You are the *only* you there is. Nobody else can be you, so that's special. What makes you unique? What is right (not personality disordered) about you? I think there is probably a lot more right with you than there is wrong with you, and you can be proud of that... |

I have my clock straightened out. Now what will time t... |

I don't mind others using MM, and I see very good reasons for it, and defend them, but generally say "No thanks" and give some vague explanation. I have wierd reactions to meds. Some I barely... |

| I can't imagine how confused I would've been not having been told at an early age that this is what was wrong with me. I don't know how people live with this not knowing. Even if I kept that information to myself, at least I usually knew "oh, this problem must be for that reason." It was a really he... |

I think "attention deficit" is another one of those diagnostic terms that... |
