Wow,
You got some validation from the group and the clinicians present. That was wonderful. Also it is affirming to know that good people and professional people exist in the world.

I think it wonderful that you trusted your support group and that they came through for you.


Maybe it is better that we don't diagnosis ourselves. It is a good thing that you brought up your thoughts about borderline -- so that your pdoc could disabuse you of that idea.


I can understand about anxiety. I'm not sure it if manifests the way as yours in terms of reassurance -- but it is certainly close to debilitating sometimes. I'm been home all day worrying about stuff I have no control over -- even if those things are directly effecting me.

Is he saying you might have some ocd-like traits? That is a much lighter dx than anything else so far. And someone can re-train them selves for that -- or at least do "work arounds."

This is good news.
I am glad I read this before signing off for tonight.

You have come a long way and you kept trusting in the pdoc and the trust seems to be paying off. He sounds like one of the good guys, but you get credit for working with him and staying close to him and keeping open communication.

Thank you, Tritone.
You made my night.

Your post lifted a layer of two of my anxiety.
