me too (thank you) and not "we've decided that to provide your mind some rest, we are hospitalizing you."
Huh - there's a fear I didn't tell t.

oh md did say to me "is it your mom that's driving you crazy"? and then covered her mouth like "ooops, i didn't mean to tell you i really think you're crazy - i meant to keep that to myself."

Kiya-

LOL@ MD mom comment.
I don't think she meant that she thought YOU were the crazy one, but rather that your mom is the cause of a lot of the stress and that your mom makes you FEEL crazy. She probably realized it came out wrong, hence the "OOPS." Since she came from a similar background, I'm sure she understands that part completely. It's also a little bit inspiring that your PDOC came from a similar difficult background, and was able to overcome it, and is now helping others in difficult situations.

I think the fear of both hospitalization, and the perception of others, is a common reason why a lot of people aren't very open to their T and/or PDOC about the personal problems that they have difficulty in overcoming. It's not always an unfounded fear either, unfortunately. I'm glad your PDOC isn't quick to judge.
