Completely OT, my apologies.
Despite my b/f referring to her as a Rent-a-Friend and remarking that I have him to talk to for free, I went and saw a therapist on Thursday. Figure I've
tried dealing with "this stuff" on my own long enough. (Bob knows about some of it. If anyone else wants to know, especially after reading further,
I'll be happy to indulge you.)
She didn't tell me anything I didn't already know, but I suppose it was nice to hear it anyway. Here's what she thinks I've got going on:
"Definitely" panic disorder (was also told this by a psychologist in '03)
Depression
"Possible" PTSD (the laundry list of things I told her had happened, and she could only say "possible"? Ha!)
"Possible" C-PTSD (Complex PTSD, go look it up)
Talking to her about everything, I actually cried a little. Didn't expect that to happen. Guess I'm not used to spilling everything at once IRL.
I'd definitely like to go back and see her again.
