So I was officially diagnosed by them with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and I've been there 2 times. The first session was to meet with the psychiatrist who seems to be spiritual, quite nice, intelligent, and helpful. I was way more open with her than I ever have been before. We did the basics of getting to know you and where are you on the crazy scale.
i.e. do you see things out of the corner of your eye that aren't there? Doesn't everyone sometimes???
Describe yourself in 3 words: Anxious, caring, obsessive
Describe your mother: Caring
Describe your father: Selfish
Those are hard to answer when they are being fired at you in the middle of also seeing if you are able to do basic subtraction. Afterwards I felt like I had been up for days and cried in the car.
Second session was to meet the therapist that is going to work with me on Cognitive Therapy & CBT. I'm supposed to start allowing myself to be in situations where I would normally do my rituals and not do them. Yeah, not really there after one visit.
What is the first thing that pops in your head when YOU are asked those questions?

hehehe, I see a lot of things out of the corner of my eyes (giggity).
Describe yourself in 3 words:
Nurturing, outgoing, needy
Describe your mother:
Super-mom
Describe your father:
hysterical
When I went to therapy, I remember the woman asking me a lot of these questions, too. She focused a lot on my relationships with people (family, friends, romantic) and how they affected me day-to-day. Those questions were difficult to answer off the cuff, especially since I hadn't thought about many of the subjects she asked me about.
I just read your comment on my page and I posted a respone. I don't know how I missed this on your blog! I know EXACTLY how you feel!
