[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 604172, member: 14557"] I'm not Skotti, I don't have personal experience and even my 'source' has different diagnosis than your daughter. But this is something I Have had some long talks with my son. He has some dissociative and depersonalisation and derealisation symptoms that to me sound extremely freaky and rather severe but according psychiatrists are more in the moderate side. (If you look threads I have started, I had the few last spring about these. I think dissociation etc. is mentioned in topics of most of them.) For him the fear of losing his mind/touch to the reality, becoming crazy was the worst. And he did try to hide those symptoms from everyone the long time, because he was scared to end up being diagnosed with mental illness. When his psychiatrist was able to make him believe he isn't 'going crazy', the symptoms themselves have become much easier for him to handle. He almost seems to consider them just nuisance at times, nothing much worse than getting something in your eye or stubborn hiccup. And that attitude has helped him a lot with dealing with them and helped with his functionality and made him much less avoidant of things that may trigger these symptoms or anxious about symptoms maybe coming to bother him in worst possible times.
