Re: Crying at Work

[Born this way]

I live in West Michigan. I’ve visited the psychologist specializing in ADHD testing since early June. Started out by saying I took this online test and researching online because my son’s teacher has been hinting and his report cards reflect it. Got 8 out of 9 in inattention and 9-9 on hyperactive/impulsive. Didn’t know it was genetic. Totally explains my dad and brother. I’ve been bounced back and forth from the psychologist to my doc. Psychologist sends diagnosis of Acute Depression to my doc who puts me on Zoloft. Which sounds so F’d-up during my doctor visit. My doc says I need to see her a few more times or get a referral. I had been to the psychologist 8 times talking about “my ADHD!” I went from looking into ADHD to wanting the diagnosis then to maybe I don’t need the diagnosis, and now I’m ready to try medication I can’t get the diagnosis!!! 👿 For my son, his teacher answered some questions and we filled out the same questionnaire and I told his pediatrician I was seeing someone about our ADHD and I came in more prepared with his grades, my1st-10th report cards, and my mom’s and my test from this site in case she was dismissive but she offered up medication right away. I told her about my struggles and I got shrugs go back to your doctor.

I called a psychiatrist I had seen a bunch of times who has prescribed antidepressants for me and knows my story but she retired. Her office is not taking new patients till January. I didn’t think I was new.

I’m thinking of playing some of these videos on my blackberry for my doctor. Or maybe inflate my symptoms to be more dysfunctional and say that I’m about to lose my job and get divorced. I wish Dr J could leave a video saying his patient has a genetic link and proof from her child hood, please see that she gets treatment.
