Johnny, I think it is important for me to have a 'diagnosis' that works for me, because then I can find the best way forward to make a difference and improve my situation. When I disagreed with my 'diagnosis' my new T at the time actually agreed and we got it changed. He was already planning in his head the treatment and we continue to discuss it going forward.

I refuse to even think about alternatives....what is the point? I completely understand your fears, but hun, you are worrying about something that is not actually happening. Focus on the facts. You have a PTSD diagnosis, you are working with a trauma specialist, you will over time improve. Who cares one bit if it may 'look' like another diagnosis......seriously half of the bloody DSM could apply in parts to most anyone if you really wanted it to.

You deserve to have peace in the now......tell that negative committee that meets in your head to sit down and shut up and allow to just do today! You need and deserve this.

(I do know that is a huge ask, I struggle to not worry, it is part of our common struggle with PTSD, but seize as many of those moments as you can..ok?)
