Hi all,
I am new to finding out that what I have is OCD. I have had a mild case of tourettes since I was a kid, and always been a little obsessive compulsive, but I am just now finding out about intrusive thoughts, and how they are common with this disorder. I always thought I was just f**cked up. For some reason, I have become an anxious mess for the last seven months, and even though the problems are nothing new, they are much worse to the point where I am looking to get put on medication. I have insurance through my college, and am seeing one of the school's psychiatrists in a few days. I have never talked about most of this stuff to anybody, and am really afraid that this person won't know much about the disorder, and just judge and make me feel worse. I don't think I can go about telling everything right away, but I really want to get on some kind of meds right now, even if it just helps a little. Does anyone have any stories about first seeking therapy? Advice?
