Yeah. Its so tough. I was diagnosed late last year, and I am 24. I find that my therapist is hard on me too. Well she started out to be really very tough on me; almost like being in the principals office for something bad... anyway now, she is slightly nicer... only slightly... I think maybe they have to be like that. If we can work things out on our own, then thats great, but also the therapist could show you your options and help you to work things out. As for asking for a hug when things get tough.... I think thats ok.

Lotsa Hugs!!!!
