Meh.
Went to the doctor today as a followup to see how my anxiety meds were working and basically got told that if I don't hie myself hence to talk to one of the university therapists in the mental health department within the next two weeks, my doctor's going to put me on blood pressure meds (which neither of us really want to happen) because I've suddenly started having issues with my blood pressure spiking/rapid pulse--not in a way that's going to imminently land me in the hospital, but in a way that's definitely raising concerns.
Sigh. Her theory is that, on top of the normal school stress and my usual tendency towards ridiculous amounts of daily anxiety, I'm also dealing with PTSD from the whole stupid-cancer incident, which I never really thought about, but I guess makes a certain amount of sense, particularly given that I have PTSD anyway from my childhood.
Anyway. Long story short, I'm anxious and stressed and my habit of Not Dealing With Things Unless Absolutely Necessary is evidently Not Helping Anymore. So yeah. Despite how much I really do not want to Talk This Out Because I Am Just Fine Thank You, I guess I'm calling for a therapist tomorrow? :|
Ugh. Fuck it, I'm raiding the ice cream tonight.
