Thoughts in Disorder

I think when we are nervous or anxious about something, we tend to come up with a lot of worst-case scenarios in our minds. But if we actually go through with the scheduled plan, it's not as bad as we thought it was. I think getting a diagnosis would definitely feel like one step closer to getting better. As for the PhD program... I wasn't expecting that. Congratulations if you were accepted, but you can always pull out of it. Or maybe defer a year? Also, I'm really curious what tattoo you are getting! I have several myself.
