*props chin in hands*
I was diagnosed with OCD (and, to the surprise of absolutely no one, recurring major depression) about a month and half ago. Extensive testing administered by fellow grad students is a good thing!
It's pretty much a huge relief, because a lot of the treatment avenues for generalized or social anxiety or bipolar, which were the several guesses beforehand just weren't working in - various ways. But now I've started with a specialist and am working on figuring out how to pay for an intensive outpatient program and hopefully I will be able to work my brain into better shape!
I have talked with New Therapist and he agrees with me that daily blogging is a good exposure exercise. (I wimped out about that the past couple of days since I've seen him, and I feel terrible about it. but I will work harder!) So I'm going to keep at it.
I figure I also need to finally make myself catch up on my comments arrrrgh.
Uh, anyway that's what's going on and hopefully having made this post I'll find it easier to just keep talking about more or less nothing.
