I don't have any diagnostics, no. I think I'm anxious sometimes, but my psychologist doesn't think I'm more anxious than the average person. Problem is I don't really know how to describe how I feel sometimes and what exactly is wrong.
I deal with addiction(s) and compulsive behaviors towards them, tho.
My GF is a psychologist and have been talking to me about it for some time and I pulled the trigger now after an episode.
I'm not necessarily after medication and I had discarded psychiatrists before, but more recently, a few years ago maybe, I started to feel myself more open towards them and to think they could help me get through some shit.
We'll know tomorrow, tho. Thanks for your input :)
