At least I can admit I'm crazy.
So my therapist (yeah, I'm seeing a therapist and I don't have to pay, thank you EAP!) has recommended that I go see a psychiatrist. So I have an appointment to go see the psych. who's in the same office. She wants me to try meds for my OCD. Apparently these are not going to be 'happy' pills nor 'I'm seeing pink elephants' pills. *snaps fingers* At most, they'll make it so I'm not freaking out at the drop of a hat. She even said there's a chance that they won't have any effect at all. Oh good.
In other news, I will conquer my presents! One way or another, they are getting wrapped. Even if I have to use violence.

Please please please tell me that drugs are not the only option they are giving you. There are dozens of proven OCD treatments that don't involve drugs. Can you go to a psychologist rather than a psychiatrist? At least a psychologist can offer alternative treatments as well as medication.
Just so you know, I say all of this because I have lost two very good friends to the psychiatrist’s candy. I hope it works out well for you, but I’ve had some really bad experiences.
But, in a less paranoid place in my mind, you are coming to the Tran-Siberian Orchestra, right?
Well, the drug thing isn't set in stone yet. The appointment is just for a consultation. Unfortunately the EAP program only pays for 8 sessions so after that we'd have to pay for my therapy sessions (with money we don't currently have). But basically my therapist said this is all on me and if I decide not to take the meds, then I don't have to. So no worries. I haven't said yes yet.
And yes, I hope to. It really all comes down to transportation at this point.
