Isolation as diagnosis

@gingerw I tell my current counselor this. (I no longer see the one who diagnosed me this way). I have mentioned my interaction on Mayo Connect but I will say that I am involved in several groups, this one in particular. She asks me every week if I feel isolated.

@Isittll She might be using that as part of her assessment of you. My counselor asks certain questions each time, also. If it was me, and someone kept asking me that, I would gently ask them not to. "I answered you once, and it's the same answer each time. I find it irritating to hear that question repeatedly." But, as I said, that is how I would handle it. Her definition of loneliness and yours are obviously not the same!
