Yeah... I think I'm just afraid that I won't have much of a choice here. I need help, and it's a small, small town, so in a way, I'll have to make do with what's available. The therapist I saw today was the one who came with the highest recommendations out of all of them, but she decided I needed another approach or something. She recommended four others, one of whom I'm going to call tomorrow. (Or maybe I'll call all of them. Depending on the result of that first call.)
I'm particularly afraid of mentioning my fannish obsessions because I'm inevitably also going to have to mention that I'm not having sex at all etc., so it's going to look very much like, "ooooh, she's suppressing her sex drive and channelling it all into obsessing about fictional characters and rock stars".... y'know, it lends itself to such an obvious interpretation. Which I think is mostly wrong.
