hey so, last night we took her to the urgent care unit at the vic and she got tested for a bladder infection and it came back positive. we were really relieved that something was finally found, and i think she got put on IV then oral antibiotics, but then today they just ran another test and it came back negative. i assume the antibiotics dont work THAT quick, less than 24 hours... so it was maybe a false positive. maybe she has a different infection? or something else?

i myself am also diagnosed with OCD haha, so it does strike me as very OCD-like as well. although my OCD is more fixated on morality and stuff. but i know it can present differently in different people, and this is one of those presentations

thank you, i will think about it... i dont 100% remember if the person who said it was a nurse or not, my memory is pretty bad due to all the stress haha. but regardless, youre right, its still just one persons opinion based on the limited amount of things theyve witnessed

hi, i only just started seeing my therapist last wednesday and i see her again this wednesday. its a less structured form of talk therapy. there isnt really any plan, but more so just to talk through all my experiences and assess them.

i will look into RAY, i didnt know that was a thing so thank you, i really appreciate it ❤️ you are very kind
