Hmm, never heard of this until today. I am sure I don't have IT though. I guess I can see where you're coming from though. My husband also said I'm not going to be taken seriously if I keep telling doctors medical jargon or stuff I read to explain my situation as if I'm in the know. "Just tell em your symptoms" he says. I explained that I thought I was doing that, that I just wanted to be sure I was explaining things to the professionals that made sense. I didn't know! I never sought psychiatric help before! But I did back off on that after he told me to, because I really did and do want to get better. And I think I have been better with the depression and anxiety. It's just that with this upswing my anxiety has been worse again and I've been De eloping some OCD habits too like hair twirling and picking at my fingernails to fix them. I posted about these things here, as well as on another forum. The other forum actually informed me that there was a name for the fingernail picking and that in some cases it's even considered self harm. I don't think that's my case. I'm just trying to fix my nails. It's different because and this is definitely not coming from the same place as the self loathing I had back then. I never got obsessed with it though, frankly because I don't think I did it right. I didn't exactly get any rush of endorphins. It just hurt like he'll!

I feel like I've had my diagnosis and I followed up with the pdoc for like at least a year. Probably could get reassessed, but I'd have to find a better pdoc.
