I'm not concerned that most people get rather confused when my mind acts if it needs something
I'm more concerned that I need something when my mind is acting at all :wink:

Welcome, you don't have patients here only friends. I second everything everybody else said.

Hi Maus, welcome - I am new here myself and you are right, it is one thing to understand things clinically as opposed to experientially. I would opt for the textbook understanding anyday. However, some day, we will get through this and indeed you will be a better, more compassionate and caring physician because of it. This has certainly changed my perception and will have a definite impact when I return to practice.

thank you for the article link

Hi Maus,
thank you for the link to the DES-NOS article. After trying to figure out how I fit into this PTSD world even though none of these really awful things had happened to me, I realize that it was the interpersonal abuse/neglect/humiliation for most of my childhood from my stepfather that explained this last year of total anger and confusion and upsetting my whole family life.

I am very new to this list so am a little afraid that my 'stuff' isn't as important as everyone else's. Hopefully this will not be the case.

I travelled to the Netherlands this past summer and found it to be very beautiful. I was especially impressed with how many people ride bikes everywhere. My daughter and I were at Den Haag for an international children's dance workshop. Also spent a few days in Amsterdam; saw the Anne Frank house and Rjik's museum. We have never been out of the US before, so it was very exciting.

Thank you again for the article.
Moki

Hi maus and welcome. I get those uncontrollable out burst of temper, only a couple a weeks ago, I called my bank manager an evil kunt and asked him out for a fight. I know many people will think I was justified but it leaves me in bits and all cut up inside. I try and take great care not to get in these situs but sometimes things just happen.

good luck
