I can definitely relate on the feeling weaker than I used to feel. I can also relate on the neuroses. Become more aware of mine every day...though I'm no so sure that there is anything inherently wrong with being highly neurotic.
I'm also learning that everyone is human and thus capable of error and bias (and all the other flaws and susceptibilities that humans come with), therapists and psychiatrists included. I think that is something that we ALL easily forget.
> I don't know that that has happened with me overmuch. Perhaps partially because I don't fit in any diagnosis very neatly. I think what *has* happened is that I think of myself as being weaker than I used to. More neurotic. And I tend to not set my goals as high as I used to. Not that I wasn't always neurotic. I just didn't realize it as much.
