Of course, she turned the question back on me and asked what I would say that I have. I came up with a few answers that I think I fit. T said She didn't think that she could diagnose me with anything. huh. I was thrown. I swear there is something going on with me.
Oddly enough though I asked T this because my mother wanted to know if I had a diagnoses. I've been wondering, but because my mom said something I figured I would ask. My T thought it was interesting that my mother wanted to know. She said it sounds like I have relationship issues with my mother and that's the thing she'd diagnose me with at that moment.
I also think that I'm stressed out and grieving and still healing from my marital abuse and my minor csa. I just broke up with a guy I was dating (it wasn't a healthy relationship...and at least I was aware of it and dealt with it in an assertive manner). I'm trying to be a "good enough" parent to my two kids, keep my grades up enough in school to be in the honor society, keep my job, and deal with all the other life chores. I think I'm doing fairly well considering. I'm also still grieving old T. That has been the most difficult for almost a year now. I know sometimes I let that get in my way of focusing. I need to process this with new T next week when I see her. I think it will help to let some feelings out.

Ok...I just needed to ramble a bit...thanks for reading! I better get going. I think one of my kiddos is up sick.

((ATHEN)) I really think you have been through a lot and are dealing with it well. Just know that your not infallible, and don't expect perfection. Its ok to grieve for your old T, I can really understand that pain. When our T's fulfill the many things we have not received, it changes us for the better, and it creates a nurtured dependency. Please don't be hard on yourself, and accept how you feel, and keep feeling what you need to feel. I think you are really strong. Keep letting us know how you how. Hug two
Thank you, Draggers and eme!


I'm looking forward to my next session with T to discuss several topics. My T did mention that I could possibly be diagnosed with a panic disorder, but that's all she could come up with. I read that section of my DSM 5 and it some what fits. I'm not sure I'd diagnose myself with it completely though.

Thank you for the well wishes in this new year!
I wish you both the same!
Hug two
