"LIke not so sure she really understand that it is vitally important I watch my stress level and take steps to reduce the stress in order to prevent my freak outs" quote Hellion

I 'am' different from the norm...for one there's the autism spectrum factor the anxiety/depression since childhood and the PTSD. quote Hellion

Hellion, does this therapist know you have some Autism? If you can only push so much and your stress gets out of control, then you may need to "slow down". If you are on the Autisic spectrum, it can be a challenge dealing with "stress" or overload, that is what happens to my Grand Nephew.

It important that your therapist be aware of this Hellion so she doesn't push you too hard.
