I know these are a bunch of different symptoms but I don't want to take a cocktail of pills, but I'm not completely against medication. I used to be anti-meds, but I've been so close ...

Ever have a past event that's extremely embarrassing? Of course, we all do. This Monday, I am supposed to go out with a bunch of friends from work for a birthday outing. The problem is, I've been to this place before with the same people. I made a complete fool of myself and it is probably the second-most embarrassing thing I've dealt with in my life.

So I had my therapy appt today, and its been a month. Maybe its been too long, but we talked about how I can go about getting my Master's in Social Work so that I can be a therapist... she was really helpful, and I'm happy to move forward with the program.
