I’m pretty certain I need professional help!

So, I think I might be crazy. Seriously! I’ve been a TV-aholic since I was a kid. When I was little I wanted the things that happened in a 30 minute sitcom to happen in my life. I wanted Charles in Charge of me, I wanted Nell Carter to come to my house to take care of my family, I wanted to be best friends with Arnold Drummond and I wanted to go to Eastland School for girls! I can sing every theme song to pretty much any show that you hit me with. It’s bordering on pathetic! When I was 12 I started watching soap operas, most likely for the sex. Mr. Belvedere wasn’t doing the nasty I needed to get it somewhere. One day my parents pulled me aside, now understand I come from an Irish Catholic family, we don’t talk about stuff. For them to voice a concern was unusual. Normally, they would have just kept it to themselves and drank away there worries! So this must have been somewhat of a large concern of theirs. They sat me down and asked me if I realized that life didn’t happen the way things happened on TV. It was the weirdest conversation I’ve ever had with my parents! I think without saying it they were trying to say that the sex scenes in soap operas were not how sex was really going to be.  I didn’t care about that; again I wanted to be best friends with Arnold Drummond I didn’t want to screw him! I wanted a maid, a train in my living room and a racecar bed!!!  The conversation they should have been having with me was we’re never going to be rich so you’ll never have a grandfather clock that opens up and will take you through secret passage ways in the house, you’ll always be the Natalie and Never the Jo and you’ll never have a sister who’s secretly a robot! The sex conversation I could have done without, I didn’t understand it then anyway!  (Side note, they were so off about the TV sex by the way! They apparently were doing something very wrong!) You’re probably asking yourself, why the hell is she writing this insanity?!?! Because the other day I had a migraine, I felt like my head was going to shoot off of my shoulders. I was thinking I should probably go to the doctors at some point to get this checked out. Without skipping a beat I thought “I wonder if Dr. Shepard has any openings.” I’m a 30 year old woman and sadly considered seeing Dr. McDreamy for my severe migraines…I can’t tell if this is funny, pathetic or a little of both!!! I’m thinking I should probably talk to a licensed professional about this weird condition I have. I wonder if Dr. Crane has any openings this week….
