> Nor am I completely clear on whether a poster has to admit to a diagnosis before the clinical descriptions can be used, or if the would be clinician can just speculate on a poster's diagnosis.
Dinah, I don't know if part of the above is referring to a post directed to me, but I feel this gives me a chance to express a hurt which I have not expressed directly before on this board. And since it still bugs me and is not acknowledged otherwise, as in a PBC, I feel like I have to dredge it up. (sorry if you were not referring to this, but I'm taking the opportunity anyway.) :)
I felt extremely offended and outraged when a poster suggested that perhaps I don't really have a specific diagnosis, and that perhaps I was attempting to gather a potential caseload of clients with that diagnosis. First, I have never posted or suggested I had that diagnosis. So, it would seem that by suggesting I may be "faking it," I felt diagnosed by the said poster. I do not believe this is appropriate in any circumstances on this board.
In addition, the poster suggested that my posts could be made in order to gain a future financial reward via what I would consider to be unethical activities. I again felt highly offended by the implications suggested.
On the other hand, I am willing to consider the possiblity that said poster felt hurt or threatened by something I had posted prior. Still, responding with an uncivil post, and I know in MY head and heart it was not civil, should not go unacknowledged. So I am acknowledging it here.
I believe crushed was doing the same thing, but unfortunately left out the words "others have stated they have been" hurt.
Why not a please rephrase anywhere on the thread? I saw what could be considered to be
ample opportunities.gg
