Check out the discussion thread “Diagnosis” started by Beyond Blue Member Doxieman (we know him on this blog as Larry Parker) regarding what diagnoses we all have. I laughed when I started reading which initials we can refer to ourselves as, because it’s like reading the DSM-IV for Dummies. That’s meant as a compliment. I love the Dummies books. They are like CliffsNotes, which saved me in college.

I guess what I’m trying to say here is that we are able to talk to each other in language that one another can understand. And that’s reassuring and comforting, given that so many people in this world DON’T understand us.
PS You’ll notice a nice box to the right on my homepage, “The Beyond Blue Community,” which provides a link to Group Beyond Blue on Beliefnet Community and a link to my homepage there.
