First Impressions (Appt n°1)

Well, I had my first appointment with my new psychiatrist on Tuesday... let's call her Dr T.

She certainly wasn't what I was expecting - she's neither young nor old and was dressed in lime green. We went through the basics - name, age etc. and she asked about family relations... she had no idea why I was there! Anyway, I put her out of her misery and came clean about the OCD.

I had printed off what I call my crazy list - my hierachy of compulsions. We went through them one by one and she was great - irreverant, funny and relaxed. She asked if I was ready to work with her, and warned me that it would not be easy.

Anyway, that's about it for now. Not a terribly articulate post, but it needed to be said.
