I thought I was asking for help from my psychiatrist and doctor when I told them. I don't know what I expected, but I thought they'd maybe want to talk to my boyfriend or something. I have described in detail and used words like "overwhelmed," "disgusting," and "unlivable." My psychiatrist has made faces at what I've told him.

People have told me I need (yet another) psychologist for therapy, so I had to search to find someone who says they treat OCD and take Medicare, but I found one, and I see him tomorrow. I don't know if he'll just talk to me like all the other psychologists did, or actually treat the OCD, but we'll see.
