Therapist agreed with a lot of my struggles and also said she wants to rule out other disorders that show some of the symptoms, like OCD, RAD, BPD etc. my wife on the other hand,

Thinks I NEED a diagnosis for some reason and asked me what I’m expecting to get out of one, and that I NEED to learn to fix it on my own and I’m just choosing NOT to and that I can if I really try! Well I’ve been trying! And she thinks I’m wasting time and money seeing my therapist

My wife can be very aggressive at times(not physically, I am a lot bigger than her lol) and she just keeps saying I can fix it I can fix it. But I have tried, so many times, and I’ll get better for a little while, but then fall right back into where I was, if I couldn’t fix it permanently all those times, how can I now?

My wife’s mom also had a lot of mental issues and passed away 4 years ago, she had BPD and other disorders, so I think my wife is blocking a lot of things, I know I don’t have BPD or RAD, when I read about RAD, it agitated me, I was never neglected as a child(and it’s A very rare disorder) so I am still very confident in my self diagnosis

Give those to her to watch while you're at therapy.

Tell her that you love her very much, but this is something she needs to watch.

Don't push it. Just leave it there for her. She can watch it if she wants to.
