It seems to me that you could use a pdoc consultation as a source of information for your Dr. as well as for yourself. Seems to me it would be useful if the pdoc were to say, this is not anxiety and maybe (because these peeps do have medical degrees) that it might be x or y.
Some time ago on this board, if I'm not mistaken, you spoke of your "black and white thinking" and other kinds of inflexible thinking were sometimes a problem for you. I'm not trying to criticize or call you out, just that I experience your descriptions of what is happening and how you are thinking about it to be a little extreme and irrational. I know I don't always have the greatest perspective on what's going on with me and I don't have any investment in being right. Your T is right, you are the boss of you. And in case this is something helpful to you, I say what I think. You are free to tell me to shut up and go away.
