I've found this forum to be very enlightening, and I'd like to make a general "thankyou" to everyone who's shared an experience.
I recently went through something that I don't fully understand, and lots of other highly-commercialized sites generalize signs/symptoms and encourage you to buy books or self-help tapes that I'm not really sure I need. One site almost had me thinking I was borderline, but Dr. Baxter posted much more specific diagnostic criteria that made much more sense; and of course, self-diagnosis isn't a good habit to get into, unless you're planning on bringing something up with a professional.
As I mentioned, something happened recently that prompted me to at least find others who have been in my situation; mostly I've wanted to look at trust and jealousy information.
So thankyou to everyone who's posted, and everyone who's going to post. What you share is very valuable and appreciated.
