I wish you well with whatever you decide.

I looked into Paranoid Personality Disorder and that seems to fit "Gina" to a t. This is exactly what she has it seems. I wouldn't necessarily describe her as paranoid but out of the I think 10 characeristics of PPD (needing 3 to qualify as PPD) she fits about 5 or 6 of them. She definitely would not go into therapy, as if she cannot tell me something she would not be able to tell anyone. I'm just questioning what exactly can I do besides keep trying and supporting?
