So she doesn't want you to see a doc... doesn't want you to get help for your problem. Doesn't want you to do something different (constructive) instead, just wants you just to not do this.

Oh, wait, she does have an alternative suggestion. "Just get over it."

Don't feel small IN ANY WAY. Going to the pdoc was a GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT even if it didn't work out with this one. Maybe your T will be able to recommend something better, someone who works with him so they can coordinate treatment. Your mother wasn't "right". This doc just didn't work out. There are others. Seek help until you find the help you need. Your mom is not promoting that.

I know her voice carries a lot of weight. But if you can manage to give her opinion equal weight to the opinions of other people... the many many other people, who care about you, who have experience with this, who have BEEN THROUGH THIS and know it can help... then maybe put them on each side of the balance and it point to where hope lies.

Good luck... don't be discouraged. She's your mom but that doesn't mean she's right... it just means she has those "buttons" installed in you to make you think she is right.
