That doctor needs to be hit over the head with a psychology book! I don't have flashbacks which involve all of the senses and are disabling, but intense memories which do involve one sense and are distracting. If you have to run out of class because of one, that is disabling!

Go see your regular doctor on Monday. See if you can put together a letter about what the other doctor said to you and how she said it and send it to the appropriate person.

Don't be afraid of psych meds. They are not happy pills. They just help fix up the chemistry in the brain and help the nerves talk to each other.

My opinion about your therapy cat? Tuck her into an animal carrier or put on her leash or however it works with her so that she can't bother other students. Make copies of your ADA papers about her as your service animal and hand them to anyone who objects. If you have an extra minute, look up to see what the penalties are for not accepting that part of the ADA and give that to them too. If they refuse to let the cat into a classroom, document who and why and send that info to the ADA people. I'm being a meanie here but you already have grounds for a lawsuit against the school.

I am so sorry that things are so awful for you!

	My husband is my best friend. In forgiving others, we are not exonerating them. They may not deserve exoneration. Rather, in forgiving others we are giving up our anger over the fact that what happened is not what "should" have happened or that our life is not the way it "should" have been.
