I'm more likely to get threatened over medication demands than gang-related issues, but even that is relatively rare. I've had more security concerns working in an emergency room than I've had working in a maximum security prison.ClinkShrinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13316134491751195651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-6999328296563384462013-05-13T10:54:37.868-04:002013-05-13T10:54:37.868-04:00Read ClinkShrink's piece, I hope that does not...Read ClinkShrink's piece, I hope that does not paint a target on her back for some of the information relayed in the post.Joel Hassman, MDhttp://cantmedicatelife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-66229497456882620012013-05-12T07:49:30.756-04:002013-05-12T07:49:30.756-04:00Re: The DSM-5

I don’t think the phenomenon even exists.</i><br /><br />Oh for goodness' sake...<br />This is supposed to be serious, evidence-based etc not a bunch of guys making up stuff.<br /><br />Blanchard served on the DSM-IV sub-working group for gender identity disorders, which led to him serving as chair of the paraphilia sub-working group for DSM-5.<br /><br />He's not well regarded by the Trans community. This kind of thing does nothing to inspire confidence that they know what they're doing.<br /><br />Zoe Brainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13712045376060102538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-29750304088297882442013-05-12T05:31:17.202-04:002013-05-12T05:31:17.202-04:00Speaking of descriptions of depression, I have one...Speaking of descriptions of depression, I have one here that goes from melancholy through despair to madness:<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g22DEKWEDC0<br /><br />I improvised it before most of that had happened, but in retrospect it provides an appropriate mickey mouse soundtrack to the last several years of my life.mctpsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-22156972571339480392013-05-12T03:43:46.131-04:002013-05-12T03:43:46.131-04:00I found these the other day, parts one and two, an...I found these the other day, parts one and two, and it was so well-described . . . I felt sad that people I know would stop reading if they even started because of a few f-bombs, because they really describe what it is like and counter all the sometimes well-meaning but more often judgmental crap that gets thrown at you.<br /><br />Best.

She was beginning to work on a book. Then suddenly she posts Adventures in Depression and disappears from the web for 18 months, to the concern of her thousands of followers (I am one). Now she is back. While she does not talk (yet) about her treatment she does describe what depression felt like, and what she writes is quite moving. <br /><br />How does it feel to have no feelings, and to live in a world in which everyone tries to cheer you up?
