Wow - I'm so sorry you're mom is making this so much harder on you than it needs to be! Panic / anxiety is not an insane issue. People who are crazy don't know they are crazy. We are too much aware of ourselves and our situation to be crazy. I just wanted to tell you that there is hope and you are ok! You may not feel ok, but you I promise you will be!! You are not alone - we are here for you and we all completely understand what you are going through every single day.

Methodist Treatment Center, it looked like a very sophistacted facitlity, but when i walked there was people sitting with there arms crooked with a squiry smile at me..... i just grined and tried to get out of sight. I belive they where a little out of reality. I was psychiatricly evaluatuted by a State Certified Counseler of Texas, i was very relived that she told me 4 times that i was not insane, i have NONE symptoms.... of Schizophrenia. But symptoms of severe anxiety.... i hate that awnser. It is more than anxiety. My mom butted in, and threatend me if i didnt let her in the room. I consented to her. The first things she did was, Well this is WHAT IS GOING..... she flat out told her hush, this is not your evaluation, my mom gritted her teeth.... and said '*****' under her breath very lightly. She just ignored her.... i got to really let out my symtoms, i told her do i have symptoms of Schizophrenia, she told me. She did say that i have symptoms of hypo-mania, and she referred me to another psychiatrist. It was a good visit, i thought they where going to lock me up. My mom really has a personality disorder i do not know of, she was told to be quiet during the session, because she would roll her eyes and say i was 'exaggerating', the evaluater rolled her eyes numerous times and told her this is not your evaluation. she boldy replied 'miss get to the point, i have to go and your wasting time'. She was asked to leave and sit in the lobby. Anger Problems....severe Anyway. I dont think im Bi poler, just extreme at times. I just am glad i am not insane. and was not going to have to be a 'inpatient' person, with real crazy people, lord they scared me. See you later guys. matt
