Thank you, Travelinglady. No, actually, I never progressed far enough in therapy to get a diagnosis. But they may be able to tell from my behavior that something is off. My research topic also has to do with trauma as well, so....

Counseling services is a joke at my school... it usually consists of a darkened room and a hushed voice and a concerned gaze and nothing else. My counselor never remembers what I say and then acts as though she's still waiting for me to ask for help, even though I have, every time, brought up issues I want to discuss... I suppose I have trust issues, but I also don't think she listens to me or cares about what I say. Then again, I am not good at communicating due to certain forms of childhood neglect, so I probably am not able to communicate effectively with normal people.
