Thanks striking. I have thought about doing something similar to that. I worry in case she thinks I'm over reacting or trying to do her work for her.. I tend to be able to explain myself well when I type/write so I also worry she'll think I'm lying/over exaggerating/making things up. Even though I'm not, I'm just explaining my problems better.

I might use the diary I just bought to write down a general jist of my day, each day. And then I can work on writing up my problems in detail etc and then maybe give both (diary + written up stuff) to her.

I've dreamt of being able to say "this is what I think is wrong, can you help me find out" type things. I want to, but I freeze and clam up whenever I go to the sessions.

Also, just to add in general. I know it's not any form of diagnosis and that quizzes/tests shouldn't be relied on. But over the course of 5 or 6 months, I've done many, many tests online and at college (at the counselling bit) and all of the tests I've done in regards to Anxiety have scored well above the average. The one on psych central, I've done it once a month for the last two months and both times I have come back with a score above 40 (43 and 45) (38+ is severe according to the test). Like I said, I know they aren't a diagnosis but they do suggest that Anxiety could be playing a huge part in my problems/struggles at the moment.. yet I'm being assessed for Aspergers. Which, whilst I don't disagree, I would have thought that Anxiety should hold priorty for me personally since I am struggling with Anxiety symptoms more than Aspergers symptoms - and I have college to worry about and I am having a hard time dealing with college... But. My COMMUNITY NURSE thinks that an Aspergers assessment holds priorty. Baring in mind I only have about 5 or 6 months left of the mental health service....

Yay.
