So I Had My Diagnosis Appointment Today....

[framebyframe]

Just as I thought, I do not have PTSD. One of the reasons was that I did not meet criterion A.

I was thinking...I don't really have a reason to stay on this forum anymore. But some of the things I have been through, while they have not been "traumatic" in the very specific medical sense, were still traumatic in the general definition. My OCD episodes were the most traumatic things I have been through in my life in that sense, because even after them, I still had a bad taste in my mouth.

Plus, you are all really cool people. It was nice discussing grief, for example, in my dog thread, and you received me well in my first thread. Because of all this...can I stay on this forum?

Maybe this post should go to the help desk section? Someone from staff please respond to this post... @framebyframe I myself can't answer this question. Hopefully staff can and will.

There is a sister site....uhm, what is it called? I mean the one for those who are having a difficult time adjusting to things that aren't criterion A traumas? I'm not saying go away, rather that site may be more helpful for your situation.

^ If you could remember the site, I'd appreciate it if you post the link.

And I don't mind being kicked out lol, this is, after all, a PTSD site, and I don't have PTSD.

My adjustment disorder is the sister site :)

If you go to the menu bar at the very top of the page, where your username and avatar appear, you'll see an option "Network". Click on that and you can go to the sister sites from the links. There's one called My Traumatic Stress.

Good luck!
