Thanks for your comments, they really help.

She believes that it is all suggested by the t and the pdoc. So, patients just think that they have it. She did take the time to look it up, but I think that was just for show. I do have the number of another t who specializes in it, and I never thought of going to both. I could bring it up.

I feel embarrassed about talking about these other people. I feel like she thinks that I am fooling myself, but to me they feel really real. Then I question myself. I don't know if I do have this or something else, like psychosis or something. IDK.

I don't think it affects my life as much as the ptsd and anxiety does it's just a little unnerving. The lost time is the worst thing. I would just like some support for that aspect of it. It's scary and she has a tendency to minimize it.
