Jeff, my current doctor has not given me a dx. Past guesses are varied. I am not posting the past guesses because I have read that one should never post something that he would not say in person, and I play things close to the chest. If I take my meds I am pretty alright. :)
I spoke to my therapist this afternoon about being more open about my illness, and she thought it might help me out. But, she said to only mention it if a) the other person is really becoming a friend; and b) it fits appropriately into the conversation. Like, I know a woman who has social anxiety, and maybe I could mention anti-depressants as a med that I take that is effective against social anxiety. Fortunately, occasions do not come up that often when it is appropriate to talk about one's psychosis.
Have a good night! ;)
