Hi Racer....

Maybe I'm missing something, but why does depression+anxiety=personality disorder? Probably tons of people have both of those in their official or unofficial dx. I know you have the eating disorder too, but you didn't say that came up.

Is it possible that one of the problems is your agency has to put a name on your "disorder"? Is it to justify your treatment to the insurance co? Very aggravating to be the subject of the dx though.

Maybe there's no way to know, but do ppl who go to that particular agency tend to have big labels put on them? My T told me that everyone who went to this one particular practice ended up with the same dx, which was not a minor dx, and he said they weren't generally what they were labeled. Maybe it's the diagnosis du jour for that place.

Did you ever try a stimulant? I know some ppl say it causes anxiety, but I find I have much less anxiety on a stimulant. I guess it just depends on the person's system. If you're still considering it, how does coffee affect you? I used to drink it b4 bed. Couldn't drink it during the day.

What happened with the WB and Cymbalta? Are you still on those?

You're not still seeing Dr. Cattleprod? Was his dx the same?

Are you otherwise happy with the agency/pdoc? Can you discuss with the pdoc how being labeled "PD" makes you feel, and if it can be changed? I discussed dx with my T and pdoc, and they were both really good about it.
