Elle, I'm sorry you are having such a rough time. Please don't let some "word" throw you for such a loop...it doesn't change who you are from one minute to the next. Think of it as something the insurance company needs.
As far as being able to tolerate therapy...again, don't take it too seriously. I swear, if anyone who knows me saw me in a therapy session, they would be shocked. I'm NOT the same person, maybe I'm more real, but certainly I keep my competent self out front everywhere else, including the doctor's office. I often think if my therapist saw me at work, he would be shocked (ok, he does how much I hide stuff). You just have to find someone you want to work with and then build trust.
I think the hardest part of all this is having someone say out loud and confirm stuff we've always suspected. Like, I know I can't sing...but I LOVE to sing...but when my husband agrees I'm awful, it hurts my feelings. *sigh* Try not to give the diagnosis too much power.
I'm thinking about you today.:)
