[QUOTE="totoro, post: 50352, member: 3155"] One thing I found whether it was good or bad to others... is that this place has heped me face reality. We are in a cr@ppy situation, all of us here... no-one is most likely treating us with kid gloves. And while this place for the most part is a "soft place to land" It also helps you get your :censored: in gear as to the realities of what it is like out there. Especially with a newbie. Even though I come from a long line mental illness, most of us hadn't been in the system, so this was all new. When I cam here I got the facts the brutal truths...and kindness. I also got my rhino skin here, being told to calm down, as I have seen others told as well. Sometimes you feel like you are drowning and you come here and someone slaps you across the face and says calm down... it hurts but, they let you know you will get through this. Or you realize it is a bigger deal and race off to freak out some more!!! I think despite all of the personalities here, this place has managed to stay an honestly good place. While I don't know what it was like years ago... I am an adult and I know I have the ability to listen, take what I need, like TM says. We can all only speak from our experiences. My first psychiatrist who is helping rewrite the DSM for 2012- for Early Onset Bi-Polar (EOBP). Said basically that you cannot diagnosis a young child with BiPolar (BP), according to the DSM-guidelines. So when I see people who have a diagnosis od BiPolar (BP) on young kids, I am not going to argue with them because of what my psychiatrist said, I don't know who their psychiatrist is or why they felt they could diagnosis them... I believe it even says something to this affect in the Bipolar Child. But you know what I don't care... so even though my psychiatrist feels K is BiPolar (BP), she gave her the diagnosis of MD-not otherwise specified (Bipolar Spectrum). Maybe, hopefully all of it will change for our children one day to make all of this easier... [/QUOTE]
