hey. do you have health insurance coverage at all? you might qualify to see someone from that. or... depending on where you live sometimes training therapists will see someone at reduced rates (depending on orientation).

i guess i'd check out what services your new uni will offer you. some universities seem to have really good services for students, while others seem to be rather underfunded.

on a slightly different note...

you have talked about some of the problems you are having (symptoms). my personal belief is that... since dx is made on the basis of someone meeting a certain number of symptoms for a certain dx... that dx is merely a re-description of the symptoms (that you already knew were problematic in the first place).

so...

sometimes dx isn't so helpful and IMO sometimes... it can do more harm than good (suggest even more symptoms to worry about when you have enough problems already lol!)

if you need a dx for health insurance purposes (or in order to obtain treatment in general) then that is a different matter, i suppose...

i know sometimes people say they appreciate being labelled... but not so for me... it doesn't add anything except a whole heap of assumptions and predictions about the course my life is likely to take. i'd rather... people assessed rather than assumed and i'd also rather... people focus on helping me figure out how to improve my functioning, rather than working on reduction of symptoms. (may sound picky but i think there is a difference there...)

FWIW
