Maybe, it's similar to emotional hypersensitivity. Sounds similar to what I have experienced. The threads about it are in this area. Yes, if I like or respect someone as an authority figure, it can really upset me if I do or plan to do something that will upset them. At this point I'm actually struggling with that. RE: how the group therps and my doctor will treat me now that I've decided on my own to stop my AD. They found out last Thursday and it MAY be paranoia, but I feel like one therp who I really admire seems 'disappointed in me'? Maybe I'm just reflecting, I don't know. Is it going to make me stop titrating off? This time, no. But in the past it probably would just so I would be approved of again. I really hope she isn't upset with me. But I guess I'll deal with that as it comes. Usually it has always lead to SI, but I'm really hoping that I'm able to cope this time.
