And how exactly are you able to differentiate between the two?
I've BB'd myself a few times and would have paid the extra to get there.
Unfortunately it was time to leave . . .
It's not an exact science.

Interesting.
Care to share the diagnostic criteria and assessment methodology? Have a really excellent day.
I think there is more to this than what many of us are aware of on this thread, and so I wouldn't be too fast to jump to conclusions.
THe lack of context and full picture invites all kinds of misleading impressions.
I announced my departure four months ago. No one noticed and no one cared. So I have come back to spite you all. WB Ms. Erica. I missed you. 
Ahhhh PierreCoeur! I wondered where you had disappeared to! WB!I announced my departure four months ago. No one noticed and no one cared. So I have come back to spite you all. WB Ms. Erica. I missed you.
It is good, but on the day we went it was very busy and crowded. To see any exhibit, we had to shoulder our way through the people clustered in front of it. One couldn't really stand and contemplate things.
I imagine that a better time to see it would be after the kids go back to school. If there is to be a school term, that is.
I admit, I had to consult Urban Dictionary myself on this one.

Huh....you'd think I would remember a client whose idea of a good time was administering a Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory...there's over 400 questions in the thing! Right axis, right cluster, wrong disorder. Complicated and complex diagnosis, I realise, Doctor, and pyschology is more an art than a science, wouldn't you say? One also has to factor in any concommitant diagnoses, though, if one is to speculate on another's mental health. Particularly if that one
-has never met the individual in question face to face; and
-has no valid credentials or experience to base one's opinion upon.
Of course, what mental health professionals love about personality disorder diagnoses is that there really is no cure or treatment; it's intractable. Rapid Cycling Bipolar type II with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Borderline personality; now that can be a challenge at times, definitely. Particularly when under emotional or physical stress. That's where a good medication regime, mindful living, healthy eating and good sleep patterns come in. Fresh air, exercise and 40 mg of an SSRI that works EXTREMELY well for me is how I start every day; right after a 20 ounce mug of coffee and the news!
If, on the other hand, you have no credentials and you're just throwing pop psychology terms around, well...that's unfortunate. I have never felt that a mental health condition was a moral failing, weakness of character, or a lifestyle choice, because I've lived it. Once again, beginner, you have an excellent day!
So sorry to hear that~ For planning in future, you might check with the FOH staff at the Museum and find out when their quietest days are, and plan your trip for then! I hope to be back on the Island in less than a month; a trip to Butchart, the RBCM, and maybe finally go whale watching before heading up to Parksville, and perhaps on to Port Alberni from there...Over the Hump!!!
Thank you. Though I'm living with someone who would beg to differ on that. I had another earful tonight...
Wow, the rollercoaster ride of this thread absolutely astonishes me.
It starts with an individual seeking some attention and sympathy by declaring that she is "voluntarily removing herself" from Perb, (which lasted all of 20hrs. and 19min.) to a lengthy post about HPD - Histrionic Personality Disorder - talking about Rapid Cycling Bipolar, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Borderline personality, emotional and physical stress, etc, etc.------------------Gee, what an education in psychology --------- and this on a board where clients and providers hope to engage in some sexual activities that bring some financial rewards to the SPs and some sexual satisfaction to the clients.
But what 'de hell do I know. --- I thought HPD stood for Honda Performance Development, ---which specializes in engine design and production of racing parts, --- something I can relate to.-------(Anything with Performance Development always gets my attention)
Yes, I'm expecting a bunch of flak, but I "calls 'em as I sees 'em".

I tell it as I see it too. All human beings with personalities have the potential for personality disorders in times of physical illness and emotional stress. I got labeled (WHICH I LOATHE) in a single sentence post as having HPD. I thought people should know what that meant. I didn't recognize that acronym, so I Googled it. I shared more of my truth: I don't throw around DSMV diagnoses lightly. I spent a LONG TIME getting to the point in my life where I can talk honestly about some of the struggles I've gone through to try and demonstrate that, OH, I don't know....I'm an empathetic human being who understands what many of my clients are seeking from me goes far beyond an interchangeable hole. Sometimes they want to talk to someone who will just listen. You can now commence ascribing motives and subtext if you like.
Once again, one and all, make today an excellent day!

Nope just an attention seeking whore who can't stand not to see my own thoughts in print for the edification of the masses! :nod:
My mom didn't raise any dummies (or doormats) either...
