So, PD NOS is kind of like what she said to me, do you think?

Echoes, I think she said/meant there's literally no such thing; no PD at all because we all have attributes of all the disorders. There's just different places on the various attribute continuums. Look at the way the Mayo Clinic describes them as "clusters":

http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/per...orders/DS00562

But who doesn't sometimes have (especially as judged by someone else :-) "odd, eccentric behavior" or get "dramatic" or "anxious and fearful"? Yes we're probably going to "favor" one cluster over another but it's all just a combination of inborn traits and what we've "learned" from our environment growing up. If something doesn't work, therapy helps us modify what we've learned from our environment. I was born prone to anxiety and my mother dying and stepmother's own anxious behavior (controlling and anger) didn't make me feel any more secure. But now I'm grown; have lived a lot of life and had more, different experiences; and my therapist and I modified the effects of some of my earlier exeriences. That's all life is about I think, "living".
