thanks for the welcome!

I have discussed things along those lines with her, but she is incredibly sensitive to any thing that could be construed as criticism or taken as a suggestion that she is "doing something wrong". She comes from an extremely prideful family and any sign of weakness is frowned upon...she wants so desperately for her "problems" to be a result of "legitimate" conditions/illnesses..it would mean that she doesn't have to deal with PTSD and, more importantly, the event that casued it. Anyway, those are my observations after seven years of being with her. Not a doctor, could be wrong!
