It’s a lot of extra stress for you Russell that you just don’t need. I’m sorry you’re being treated like this.

Thanks Russell, that could be very useful for those who as yet haven’t be diagnosed and consulted a doctor.

__________ Total Number of Yes Answers

If you have 5 or more Yes answers,
discuss the results of this questionnaire with your doctor.

Thanks Helen. I always like frank people because you always know where you are with them ?

Thanks Reesa your words make so much sense. There have been countless times that with hindsight I have recognised my rigid thinking. So that’s probably why I have continued to try to make amends with this person. But I have now decided that I don’t want this person in my life anymore. They clearly think they are not guilty of anything but I am of everything. It seems that they are only prepared to listen when I belittle myself. Therefore I’m calling it quits as it has descended to a unhealthy level.
