that is very very tough on everyone involved, and I went thru it at age 4 and believe thats when I develop my personality disorder. I don't know the best solutions but I can maybe help you learn a few dos and don'ts because for a long time my mothers help hurt WAYYYYYY worse, finally she has learned how to approach, but my biggest advice is never make her feel like her thoughts or worries are not important

Well, it went well, the doctor was really easy to communicate with. I don't get feedback tell his report comes back, he said probably the following Thursday. took about 5 hours, and at the end I took a 587 question personality test, seem very thorough but It was not something I expected or even heard about. I really feel he was thorough enough that I can accept what ever he thinks… just a label anyways but maybe I will be able to figure out what ever I am not doing right to get control. Very Hope-full He gave me a 15 minute break about halfway, great doctor

very true, when the doctor shows a little passion towards their job and really helps you open up, it just has a better chance at successfully figuring out some of my struggles and maybe find a way to make things go a little easier, I am not asking for much, just a little easier would really be helpful 🙂 Thanks for the support
