Hi @Just
I'm glad to hear you have been given some answers as to your diagnosis, so you are able to do the "work" tailored to your situation. I'm glad you have also found some useful resources, and that you have given yourself a time period to work on what you need. I would add, however, not to put too much pressure on yourself to achieve a goal. Working on yourself and particular if it's based in trauma can take a lot of time. I have been in therapy for over 5 years and am not even close to moving beyond surface level talk of things that have happened for me. I use to beat myself up about that and think that I wasn't doing enough, or I wasn't improving fast enough, but it takes the time it takes. Everyone is different. It sounds like finding out about the OSDD has been a little scary, but ultimately empowering for you, as you have goals you can now work towards. Is this something you are able to share with your therapist, or do you prefer working on it at your own pace and time? All the best, too! 😊
