Thanks again for more posts than I thought I’d get. :D I was able to call the Welfare Office and they wrote down some notes of what I had forgot to tell the Therapist who supplied the Psychological Evaluation. The Social Security Office called me yesterday as well, and I told them the few things I had forgot as well, so I feel much better that the information I left out is now out there.

:mrgreen:

The few things I had forgot were Chest Tightness/Pain (probably caused by my Major Depressive Disorder, and Acute Anxiety), ADD symptoms (Inattention, daydreaming, hard time following directions or reading directions, (I usually throw them away and try to do it on my own lol) only because I know I can’t comprehend the sh*t anyway, ( that could also be short term memory problems), Extremely poor Concentration and ability to do small tasks that everyone else can do no problem, and Comprehending what I read because I swear I can read a whole book and not remember 20% of the whole book. ( memory maybe?) I can read and spell wonderfully most of the time, I just have trouble comprehending what I read. I explained that although yes, I did work at Kroger overnights (11 P.M. -7 A.M.) for 3 1/2 years that doesn’t mean that I didn’t want to kil* myself on my way to work or after, or even while I was there every single day during that time, because I hated my job that much. I had a real hard time dealing with any customers retarded or not, taking criticism of my work, work ethic, timeliness, etc. To me everything in retail is all negative feedback- all I wanted was to hear good job a lot more often, and maybe because all my life teachers, parents etc. always have negative things to say to me: Your not putting forth effort, your not finishing tasks, you forget too much, your stupid (basically), etc. etc. etc. and maybe that’s why I’m so negative hmmm common sense maybe? lol.

Anyway before I make another novel here thanks for caring everyone it’s a lot more than my family have showed me my entire life, which is horribly sad. Thanks for the links and the feedback. I did take a 240 question test on a site earlier i’ll try to find it again if I can remember and repost it later here anyway, one of the tests measures your 24 Strengths (basically your top 5 are your best obviously) annoyingly long, but it does shed some light on what you would be good at although, it doesn’t seem to have an emphasis on any mental disabilities so you may have to answer certain ones like you were someone who wasn’t scared to drive or deal with people (if you have those issues) Example: one question asked would you go to a museum for the learning etc. (well ya I would if I wasn’t scared of driving and all the people around) if I said no, the dumb test would assume I don’t like learning which is obviously wrong.

My Top 5 Weaknesses or Strengths 24-20 out of 24 registered as follows : 24.) Kindness and Generosity. (probably because of my crappy people skills, which doesn’t make me a mean person.) 23.) Capacity to love, and be loved (my failure to express my emotions.) 22.) Zest, Enthusiasm, and Energy. (my depression, negativity, and fatigue i’m sure.) 21.) Social Intelligence. (No Sh*t lol.) 20.) Hope, Optimist, and Future-Mindedness. (Not hopeful, Negativity, and Uncertain of what the future holds for me.)

Almost done I know novel number 50 here 🙄

My Top 5 Strengths 5-1 registered as follows: 5.) Perspective (Wisdom). (yay, I knew I was smart.) 4.) Honesty, Authenticity, and Genuinness. (this could be an asset to an Artist, Writer, Researcher, Scientist, maybe Inventor?) 3.) Fairness, Equity, and Justice. ( Maybe Paralegal work?) 2.) Creativity, Ingenuity, and Originality. ( More assets to Artist, Writer, and some others i’m not sure of.) 1.) Love of Learning :mrgreen: (that could go for anything really, although many I would cancel out that require driving, being around and having to interact with a lot of people.)

That was just to give some insight on some of my strengths that I may have, and I have to say those top 5 pretty much seem to define me quite accurately.

Thanks again for taking the time to read my novels guys and providing positive feedback and links to resources I really appreciate it. Oh I did almost forget, I did buy a bottle of St. Johns Wort, and a bottle of Ginko Biloba to try out until I get some medication. The St. Johns wort is an Over-The-Counter natural remedy for Mood Support, and healthy Emotional-Balance. I’m not positive I’d have to research more, but I think it also helps with Anxiety, Depression, and Chest Discomfort (caused by Anxiety.) Ginko Biloba is for Healthy Brain Function, and Circulation. It also helps support, mild memory problems due to aging, brain function, and mental focus.

I figured i’d give it a shot, and try not to be such a Skeptic. I almost do believe that natural supplements may work better than traditional prescribed medicine due to the Naturalicity of the products, and not chemically engineered fake stuff that many put into their bodies everyday. I tend to think the same with foods such as Engineered sugar (Splenda, Phenylketonurics, Caffeine etc.) I really just don’t trust food or drinks that have been engineered over what was put here for natural use. Many studies have shown that people who live on islands and only eat or drink what is provided end up extremely healthy, and mental illness free.

Anyway like I said 500 times sorry for the long post again! I meant for this to be my 1st short one but ya, that didn’t happen maybe next time? :mrgreen:
