[QUOTE="Steely, post: 337160, member: 3301"] Matt went thru something very similar, only it was some other very obscure, odd, psychiatric issue. At first I freaked out, and thought he was just "so odd, so out there" - why on earth would he want to relate or be part of that "disorder"? However, I then realized that he was trying to identify his thoughts with something or someone. He[B][I] so [/I][/B]needed to feel normal in some sort of capacity, that he would go to great lengths to do this. I really feel as if this could be your daughter. She wants a disorder to explain her issues so that somehow she feels normal again. She wants to feel as if there are others out there that have felt the way she does. She wants someone to relate to. I think if I were you, I would do some research [I][U]with[/U][/I] her on this topic. I would partner with her, and explore this disorder together. If you let her know that you care, and that you believe her concerns warrant exploration, I think she will totally back off of this tangent. I think that she simply does not want to feel alone. If her Mom cares enough to "figure her issues out [I][U]with[/U][/I] her and on her own terms" - than I think she will relax and get to the root of the true problem. Has she had psychiatric testing to determine if she has distorted thought patterns or issues? Hugs. I know how hard this is. Grrrr..........:angry: [/QUOTE]
