Well I guess I do not belong here anymore. Here is his response to me.
Hi Moxie, I hope you had a good weekend. I am not sure there is anything "wrong" with you; a lot of your symptoms manifest in the brain trying to protect you from hurtful memories. The "wrong" part is that some of the ways the brains copes can prevent you from doing the things you want.
The diagnosis I have formulated:
C-PTSD (complex)
Rule-out: dissociative identity disorder (a rule-out means its not an "official" diagnosis but there are some criteria met)

When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
