Sharon, the psychologist I wanted to see for a long time, took away my laptop.
Well... it' still here, my preciousss.... but I am seeing Alison tomorrow, and she'll keep it for 30 days - no matter whether I beg or plead...

Sharon said in the worst case scenario, she might have to put me on anti-anxiety medication, but that would only be necessary if conventional therapy isn't effective or if the laptop withdrawal proves too much to handle.

I guess I will report here after 30 days... or more. We don't even know yet when or how I'll get it back.
I'd have to use internet cafes and public libraries for work, get out of the house, and actually live rather than read. I'd be forced to.
Life is definitely getting increasingly interesting.
