Tova:
Her analogy is sound though, so I imagine she's at least spoken to, or read about, someone who has had that experience.

I apologize. Bad choice of words. I attempted to convey my own ignorance about psychology in general and psychological terminology in particular, but that's not how it came out. Sorry.

No sweat & I was sure it was something like that - it's good to have confirmation, though. Thanks for that.
P.S.: I'm not really used to talking about it. This is sort of me learning to talk about the conditions, and the period of time during which I learned to 'deal with them' (not sure about the past tense. Not at all ...). So I'm probably a bit more defensive and mistrusting than warranted - still learning. There definitely are uncaring assholes, or even those who put the knife in, but ... they have a different 'smell' to them.
Is it cold in here?:
Global Moderator Comment I've exhumed an old OCD thread, inspired by the quality and usefulness of the discussion here in the WCDT.

Having said that I still have some bangs of guilt. You see, in my youth I had a strong tendency to dismiss sciences other than the exact sciences as, well, less exact. Something where "truth" varies from one decade to another has not IMNSHO really reached the "maturity" of the exact sciences. Later in life I have come to acknowledge that a field of study is worth pursuing even if they are still looking for the solid foundation. But, the comment exchange brought me back to those worry-free years of my youth. I dare not speculate whether attitudes I entertained back then also resurfaced here (subconsciously?) affecting my choice of phrase.
