Nervous System

I'm getting a referral today.

I should've sorted my shit out a long time ago. But as usual, I've been putting it off. I guess in one way I was seeing if I could deal on my own. But on the other hand maybe I just don't want to see my shrink and have her say "Dude - Get over it". I am sick of having this crippling anxiety and I'm sick of wondering if I'm just using my anxiety as a crutch. But in the end they amount to the same thing don't they? I'm not getting anything done and I want to change that.

I told my lecturer briefly (via email) what's going on with me and that I'm getting a dr's certificate to cover my assessment for now and that I'm seeking professional help (again) and she was very cool. She told me to come see her and we'll sort something out. She is teh rulezor!!

But what I really want to say here is: I know too many people who can't deal with the stuff they're going through and don't know what to do about it. Quite often they really just need someone to talk to. I'm not ashamed to admit sometimes I need to talk to my friends to help me deal with my stuff. And I'm not ashamed to admit that sometimes I need to find someone better qualified to talk to, someone who asks the right questions, someone who can look at me (more) objectively than a friend can, someone who can tell me the truth about myself.

Contrary to popular scientologist opinion - psychs are good +1
