Why wear a ribbon?

"Bipolar and CPTSD. FML. Oh yes, and alcoholism to self-medicate those." (misanthrope)

MDJunction to me

"MDJunction means that I no longer have to feel like I am the only person in
the world with pericarditis. It means that I can talk to others who know
how stressful and how painful having pericarditis can be. It means that I
connect with others to discuss treatments that have or haven't worked for us, so that we have a leg to stand on. I think that having my friends at
MDJunction has allowed me to better mentally and emotionally process my
diagnosis and what it means to me. I feel so lucky to have this community
available to me. I use MDJunction as a way to use my experience to help
others. Reaching out to help others is the only solace I have found since
being diagnosed with pericarditis." (Hazeldee)

I took your survey, too. I've never had a therapist or pdoc that knew much about addiction, either. The pdoc I have now is pretty knowledgeable and he knows I'm in recovery. So, that's a plus. I hope you enjoy your studies.
