    We use the word dipstick the same way meaning idiot in the US. It also happens to describe the indicator for testing urine pretty well. We don't mind redundancies it seems. It's all about context.

    Great list Pete. I am almost nine years into this mess now and this site has helped me so much still learning to take charge of the situation so this list is good. Thanks!

    Thanks for the list. You have reminded me of a few good things. I will add here that, if you are an introvert by nature, having company or family around may not work for you and your emotional needs. Yes, that is a love 'ideal', but some people's way to not induce stress is to take others in moderation. Having a quiet sanctuary that no one, not a spouse, sibling, friend, and especially a doctor, can enter, is a great way to get some 'oneness' time. We are not a disease, we just happened to live with one, so not losing self in the shuffle is really important.

    Dipstick is a name for an idiot/silly/stupid/crazy person.
    Lol love that and use it all the time, mostly "I am a dipstick"...
