Thats a great first post #@vodkashot and I hope you hang around in these forums as your experience, I believe, is a positive that can be taken away from your ordeal. You can talk about it with people and provide them with options they likely never knew existed.
I think getting a proper diagnosis from a proper doctor, or even a shrink, can be hugely beneficial. Its making what you felt real. Its a real thing. AND theres a treatment! Thats a big turning point for a lot of people.
Kudos vod.
