I'm well aware of the debate surrounding the 'existence' of MLC among the experts. I'm also aware of the fact that our hostess MWD does belong to the school of thought supporting the 'diagnosis'. As such she addresses it in her books and created a forum specifically for people seeking help in situations which, in their opinion, fit the 'profile'.
You very obviously do not believe in MLC, and I respect your right to that opinion, so I can't help but wonder why you surf the MLC board?

What they think is REAL. What they feel is REAL. It's as REAL as what you think and feel.
TH, you do a great job of describing a WAS, and I don't disagree with what you have written as it applies to a WAS. I have a question for you though ... do you 'believe' in Depression? Do you 'believe' that someone suffering from depression clearly sees their environment?
