Ok, what I found out...
| Tue, 09-27-2005 - 10:48pm |
When I was 12 I was impatient for a psyc. eval.
I was running away, I stole a car and was dabbeling in drugs..
So, I was looking through my Dad's things and found a file on me. Now all this time i thought that I had no history of anxiety but then I read this.. it made me cry.
I'll just type some key points..
The patient presents as an ANXIOUS and somewhat depressed female. She proved somewhat difficult to test arriving somewhat late and verbalizing significant

PTSD R/O That means post traumatic stress disorder- rule out. In other words, that's what they were trying to determine if you did or did not have. I am wondering what trauma you had, Heather. Was that after your dad had passed? As for conduct disorder, that means not following the rules. We have all BTDT as teens & IMHO is typical. Some experts say that a teen is ODD(opposistional defiant) first, then moves into conduct disorder when laws are broken. Nothing is hard & fast.
What I think is great, is that you found this information & it ties into what you're feeling now. Much as many of us would like to think our anxiety struck out of the blue, generally we have some history there. Your pdoc is right to laugh. It makes me smile, too. You are such a good girl. So kind & respectful. I find it impossible to believe that you were ever anything but the most obedient child. You sure had me fooled. LOL Let all this info rest, Heather. Past is past. You can't go back & change it. Try to focus on the here & now. That's what matters most. Good luck & GBU! (((hugs))) jan
Heather, I couldn't agree with what Jan said more. Although what you find is really interesting and may be insightful for you, let the past be the past. You should just focus on how well you're doing now and be proud of yourself for achieving what have you achieved!
((hugs))
