I pray for you, too, for your mind to be healthy and at peace.

Warm wishes,

Yes, it does take patience to find a good mental health provider, and any natural anxieties you may have are no doubt amplified by the OCD (and probably PTSD which I think you have in a sort of way, based on your descriptions here). So it's not an easy spot to be in. Thanks for your good wishes. I have a lot of suffering too, and progress is slow.

With compassion,
Mike
