Well, to update, I have not gone to my doctor so far. It has been busier than usual, these past couple of weeks, although, in part I may just be making excuses. Actually, I know that's what I'm doing.
Anyway, since, for whatever reason, I feel so uncomfortable talking to my regular doctor, I thought maybe I should just pick up the phone and call a therapists office directly. From the phone book I found a couple of places that look like they'd be a match for me, and have good location. So now I'm just working up the courage to call. I get so anxious and nervous about doing things I haven't done before, especially in terms of interacting with people and asking them for help. That's one of the things I need counselling for! Just the other day I went to get glasses, but before going I was so nervous at the thought that there might not be enough sales reps to assist me, and I might have to approach somebody for help. I know, I'm ridiculous. But I need to get in that office, so I am going to make this call. (And then there's always the chance that, for some reason, this counsellor won't work for me, and I'll have to do this again, but I have to focus on the first step first, right?)
Since you all were so nice and caring, I thought I'd update you, although I'm sorry I don't have a more promising update. Thanks for listening, and for all your kind thoughts.
