Deb,

I'm sorry this is a hard time for you. Can you see the therapist without your mother, or do you need her for transportation? I know when you are feeling extra stressed it can affect your memory. Is it possible you're changing your clothes a lot, because you can't get the exact effect or look for which you are striving. I also think at age 16, you may still be making up your mind what "your look" is, and haven't decided. Hey, I'm still deciding on mine, and I'm significantly older. I'm feeling very stressed out with the holidays this year myself. How is school going for you?

All the best, Jane - Oz
