Can I ask how the GAD manifests? You said you felt it was morphing into something more serious?

I'm not sure... The psych had told me I was a borderline psychopath and I'm still unsure of what that means. There's criteria that I fall into and criteria that I don't fit. I guess it's not as cut and dry as it seems. Maybe I need to get a second opinion, but my problem with seeing psychiatrists is that I know how to manipulate the treatment so they think there's nothing wrong with me. CBT for my anxiety didn't end up working because I lied and said it was working and I was managing. I don't know how to stop manipulating treatments, so maybe I need to go see a more highly trained psychiatrist? But I can just handle it on my own so I think I'll be okay.
I don't have extreme mood swings outside of occasional PMS or whatever, lol.

Yeah, I think understanding that is really important. I understand and accept that I don't find myself reacting "typically" to certain situations, simply because I can't.
