So, I'm starting college soon, as a freshman. I move into my dorm on the 29th and classes start on the 31st. While I'm really excited about it, I'm also getting really nervous! I'm worried about being away from my family even though I've been wanting to get out for over a year, I'm worried about the difficulty of my classes and doing well...I'm scared that I won't be able to balance work and pleasure because of all my classes...And it's bad. I have GAD/OCD, and it was pretty much controlled until lately. Lately, I've been obsessing over every little detail about school...my schedule, things for my room, what time I'm going to leave on the 29th and move in. I'm making lists, re-writing lists (one of my most irritating compulsions), organizing everything and all that. Oh, and I keep having this really weird dream where there are people, or something out to get the population of where I live. They come for you in a big black SUV, and will kidnap you if you don't get out soon enough. Last night I was caught. I feel like this has something to do with my worries about school because I almost never remember dreams, and this isn't a good one. I used to be on Prozac and see a therapist...then I stopped seeing the therapist, and a bit after that, stopped taking the Prozac. I don't want to go on meds again, and honestly, I'm leaving for school in 9 days, so I don't see much point in seeing the therapist again before that...I just...don't know.
