My SO has been very sweet as per usual and I am glad to have his support. In general I have been considering going back to my psychiatrist, but feel awkward as I am not sure if I want to try meds, and I don't know what I expect to come of it? I am not sure how to ask to be seen again if they will only see me if I am taking medication which I can understand. I partly want to talk about OCD treatment options, so maybe that.
Tomorrow I am playing games with friends. Something to look forward to (and I wanted to add something positive to my update). Hope everyone has a great weekend.

A week can feel like forever when you're feeling off. I'm sorry you're feeling unwell. I would maybe give it a bit more time to see how it progresses. Also, I'd try using my coping skills to test to see how serious the symptoms are. If they improve with self care and distraction you may be able to manage on your own.
Have you considered other pdocs in your area? Maybe there would be one willing to treat you even if you aren't on meds. Also, do you see a therapist?
