I've been working on it for over a decade, and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, and I now know it's not an oncoming train.
Best of luck to you. PM me anytime if you want.

Not yet... She decided not to do it in case it was destabilising. Don't know when she'll do it, so got to see how it goes... Actually feels worse because I feel like I have to wait for it to actually happen now. Thanks for the encouraging replies though! I really appreciate hearing from all of you. I guess a diagnosis would remind me how I'm not crazy and I don't have something really wrong with me.
