hi Berberis.
frankly I don't have a problem with the way Social is currently set up. I suppose I take Dr.Bob's definition of "general support and 'just' being social" as giving me an adequate picture of what materializes there. I also worry about the way DSM constantly expands the range of diagnostic classification as putting people into more boxes than strictly necessary for effective treatment.
my Social life is not all that lighthearted anyway and I would fear that if I posted about it I might be redirected to Distress or Social Phobia or whatever other DSM-congruent board. In the words of "The Breakfast Club", my social life may be "demented and sad," but it is social, and I'd hate to see it redefined. (In case anyone is wondering, I am joking. That destroys the joke, but irony may not be a desired commodity at this point in Babble history.)
