It probably wouldn’t be helpful for the rest of the “crazy” people here to start chanting the “One of us! One of us! Gooble-Gobble one of US!” song in a show of solidarity, would it? :smack:

Anyway, hang in there, **Kythereia**! And it’s good to hear that you’re taking the initiative to fix something that’s making you unhappy. There’s no shame in going to professionals for help with a medical problem, and believe me, depression and anxiety are a LONG way away from wearing a straightjacket and a Napoleon hat.

**Kythereia** - Judging by the many threads about Dopers with psychiatric issues (Is there a good way to phrase that? I hate “mental illness,” and “crazy” is right out.), you’re in good company. You also have to put up with me, but you’ll get used to that in a while. Seriously, congratulations on taking one of the biggest, scariest, and probably most helpful steps of your life. Admitting you need help can be the most awful feeling in the world, but getting the help you need is one of the best.

And don’t worry about the goat straw felching. It’s awful, but it’s mercifully brief. Usually.
