Dinah, Thanks so much. That is really helpful.
I will talk to her more about what it means to her. I already understand that it means certain things were not developed (in my case i think its an ability to feel my own feelings and have empathy for others - although at times i have great empathy).
what concerns me is that its not like depression, where the symptoms can go away. if she believes i have a disordered personality, and it will cause me problems in my interpersonal and professional relationships, that means, im battling with it for the rest of my life, that it will get better and other times it will be really bad...but its not gonna go away...
other therapists have told me stuff like yeah, its gonna take a lifetime to fix whats wrong with you..but there aint nothin wrong with you that aint wrong with somebody else. im messed up and who isnt. that view i can handle.
but im messed up in a way that is more messed up than the average mess up..that bugs me.
glad to hear you hung in there dinah. 2 years. yeah. its been about 1.5 years of this battle on and off. im glad i tell her i want to stop and we talk through it...and i keep going. at least that way i can get somewhere. maybe.
