Good Morning! My car broke down so no acupuncture for me today. Well, it stalled and worked after jumping it. The battery and alternator are fine I was told so I am wondering if it is a wire or alternator belt maybe? Need to get it checked out.

I had a good time a therapy yesterday, I was in a super chipper mood and had less obsessive thoughts so we were kind of able to talk about my situation while I was in a good place mentally. It allowed us to talk more about the overall issues I was experiencing and the plan. I learned that my obsessive and compulsive issues started much younger at least as early as 15 when I developed an eating disorder. It really was like a compulsion. I also remember other signs of OCD from when I was younger although I am not sure if they would met diagnostic criteria. I am kind of relieved to be getting treatment for this after at least 16 years. Sounds like we are going to do Exposure Response Prevention therapy which is a proven treatment for OCD. I think I will end up with that official diagnosis based on our conversation. Also, still not sure about the bipolar disorder, we will just have to wait and see. I hope writing about OCD on this bipolar board is not too out of place, especially since my bipolar diagnosis is now in question once more. I mean I don't think my psychiatrist is questioning it at all, but my therapist is getting a different perspective of me off of medication, so I am also wondering her opinion.

Happy weekend everyone! Time for breakfast and coffee and trying to diagnose my car myself (haha I was successful at this only one other time in my life).
