hi dinah - i've read parts of brain lock, but not cover to cover. i usually only look at it when i'm obsessing about something and its not very helpful then. when i'm not obsessing, i don't want to think about obsessing for fear that i'll start obsessing.
i saw a therapist for a while that tried the whole CBT thing with me, but i didn't get much benefit from it. i'm in the process of searching for a new therapist and have requested the referral list that the obsessive-compulsive foundation has. its a pain to "shop" for a therapist and have to start over each time you change, but finding the right one is crucial.
i forgot to mention that i usually wake up FULL of anxiety, which makes me not want to get out of bed. once i'm up and getting ready for work, its not as bad, but i don't want to be like this for the rest of my life.
once my meds are in full effect, won't this subside?
