Hi everyone!

I haven't posted here. Recently, in therapy, I had asked my T if I had OCD or OCPD. My p-doc says quite often that this or that drug will help my OCD...as far as I know, there hasn't been a formal diagnosis.

I asked my T this week. He said that I have some obsessions and compulsions but he thinks I fit more in the hysterical category. I nearly jumped off the couch! He said this in the last 10 minutes of course.

I had never heard of hysterical qualities or personality traits. He stopped short of saying personality disorder. He didn't think I have one in particular but perhaps a combo. He mentioned Histrionic and Borderline. He didn't say I have Borderline but he did talk about it a little bit.

I'm sure this sounds confusing. He and I will talk more next week. I'm just wondering if there is anyone here who is hysterical qualities/histrionic and what this means?
