I can't express how adamently I agree with everything you just said. It makes me furious that I am the one being left out of my own care. It seems so backwards. You're right about *needing* to hear what is wrong with you put into words. Somehow it helps contain and identify it more readily than some anonymous defect running rampant. I still am not satisfied that I have been given a correct diagnosis, or even a specific one. I do feel that it is standing in the way of my recovery, but also feel helpless. It leads me to self-diagnosins (which is probably pretty correct) since I feel my doctors can't thouroughly reach inside my head and see it for themselves.
