if the health tests all come out okay, i'd find an alternative therapist. one who is not caught up in labelling gifted minds like yours as "disordered".

someone on these posts mentioned that counselors tell you what your problems are and usually make things worse. i have had an opposite experience. my therapist ( a referral from a friend) ended up being WONDERFULLY alternative. very down to earth but also very open to symbolism, dreams, regressive communication, etc etc. she helped me greatly and never once told me what my problems were. she barely even guided me to my problems. she constantly reminded me "this is your time. this is for you. you are the boss. what do you want to accomplish in these sessions?"

i guess my point here is BE PICKY. find someone who is open, not LEADING you towards any opinion. be true to your inner voice that will tell you if this person can be trusted for your situation. you will know.

now, are you having all these tests and letting yourself be studied because this "problem" is interferring with your life? sometimes our quarks are just quarks and accepting them is all we need to do. of course sometimes they stop us from having healthy, productive lives. definition of healthy and productive = one you are happy with. i'm sure some people in society would define it differently - being that they like to put everyone in boxes.

good luck on your venture. just be you. if your "problems" get in the way of you being you, then get help. that's my only advice - and i hate giving advice.

btw, good comments y'all!


peace out
