I had a long talk with a friend of mine last night and she highly advised that I see a doctor concerning this problem of mine. I've been diagnosed with OCD for *counts fingers* going on eight years and have always taken it lightly and I believe I've suffered for it. I really don't want to get too into the details, but I haven't been taking my medication or talking to anyone about it. After talking to my friend, I decided to take things easy for awhile; I didn't go to any of my classes today and doubt I will be tomorrow. I'm going to the health center and getting enrolled in a therapy program. Honestly, I'm very reluctant for a variety of reasons, and......well if you all would pray for me, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm just going through a lot of uncertainty and I'm feeling extra vulnerable right now. I even feel ashamed not because of the "hidden secret" as it's called, but my mind is telling me a lot of things. It's like I feel as though I'm using this as an excuse to not do my work or other things. It's just a lot of things. *smh* If anyone is a sufferer, I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't mind talking through PM. There are a lot of things that I'm not putting in this because I know that unless you have this, you won't understand just what I mean and the last thing I want is for someone to misinterpret what I say and then come down hard on me. I truly am sorry if this prayer request seems a little rough around the edges in not wanting to open up. It's not my intention to come off that way at all. Thanks.
