Okay- time to be proactive. Enough sitting around feeling sorry for myself. I made an appointment with a counselor/psychiatrist to get some meds to hopefully calm down these anxiety/OCD shenanigans. Maybe I can stop washing my hands every few minutes, getting right back in the shower after I get out, throwing clothes and towels I haven't even used in the hamper because somehow in my crazy head they're contaminated with herpes. And I won't even start in on how every bump or itch no matter where on my body scares me like crazy because I think it's herpes. I'm praying some therapy and proper meds will get me through that. I also stopped by the drugstore and picked up some Lysine and vitamin c. I'm determined. I WILL get through this and I WILL lead a normal life.
