Hey everyone,
You may remember my previous posts about being convinced that I have narcolepsy. I still have that fear but things are getting worse.
On my second visit with a psychiatrist, he diagnosed me with severe OCD and strongly recommended that I start meds, which I did today. He said he normally sees people in a month, but he wants to see me next week to assess and see whether we up the dose of the meds.
So, now I am convinced that I have bed bugs for no real reason. This has been going on for months but has really ramped up in the past few days. I have been constantly checking my bed and mattress and am terrified that I am going to see one. I saw a black spot on my ceiling tonight and moved chairs and couches so I could get closer to it to see what it was, convinced it was a bug. Not sure what it is but I don't think it is.
Anyway, I'm in a panic and totally distressed. I'm in university and can't even think about my studies because I am totally consumed with this fear. I am wondering if I should see if I can get an appointment this week instead of waiting for next, or if I should write a letter outlining this and get it to him in the next day or so. After my first visit with him, I couldn't say everything that I wanted to say because I was too embarrassed so I did write him a letter and he really appreciated it. I would do it again but I am scared of seeming needy and I don't want that.
Thoughts?
