Cece,

It is very nice of you to be concerned about providing as much validity and legitimation as possible for the sake of others but . . . I feel strongly that your priority should be yourself and your own concerns about exposure.

Our diagnoses are very personal things. It isn't just a question of future discrimination. It's a question of privacy and feelings of safety and not being subject to possible head-games from other people -- all kinds of things.

I believe that you will contribute to some other people's well-being just by taking part in this article and being sincere and honest about your own experience. I do not think you should risk your own future feelings of safety and privacy in order to render, maybe, help, possible, to other entirely unknown persons, conceivably.

The point is, I guess, as they say in the Army, to live to fight another day. :-)
