I've been dealing with OCD/Anxiety for YEARS... I have for the most part been able to manage every day life, but for years doctors have been trying to open my mind to medication and therapy, I've always been against meds and don't see the need for therapy, I'm fairly intelligent, in my rational brain I know what's going on, why I have the issues I do, and honestly already know what they're going to say, plus in our town the medical and mental health "professionals" are a joke,,, but honestly I'm tired, I'm exhausted with feeling this way, it's affecting my life and more importantly my physical health,,, today I made several doctors appointments, lab work, endoscopy, and primary care physician,, I pulled out the list of available mental health professionals, and decided to call around tomorrow and see if I can schedule an appointment,,, I know it doesn't seem like a big deal, but for me it's a HUGE step, I'm going to attempt counseling, if for no other reason to get an accurate diagnosis, and when I see my doctor in a  few weeks I'm going to have an open minded discussion about medication
