Kate, I think it really will help you to attend these groups during the day. As you say you will meet others that have problems. Maybe by talking with them you will learn what symptoms they have, and what their dx is. Now don't think you have their dx just because their symptoms may sound similar to yours. But, you may be able to learn what is real, and what is not real by the feedback you will receive from others. You really are young to have a cut and dried dx. I think the doctors,and therapists want to see how you respond to the medications. Then, they will be better able to know what is wrong with you. You sound like you are looking forward to all the new things you will do, and maybe you'll meet new friends. Try to have a really positive attitude. Don't cover up your symptoms to others, they will not be able to help you this way. Yes, you are lucky to have such an extensive support system. How did you arrange to have all of this? Fondly, Phillipa XXX
