After five or six phone tags, it seems the health insurance questions are answered and my Neuro - Psych testing is a covered service. (Or, at least the doctors' office thinks it is - and we're going to be getting a bill equivalent to 2.5 months mortgage? Maybe. Whatever.)
I'm going in for a day's worth of testing on June 12th. My husband is going to have to take the day off, as they don't do this kind of thing on the weekend. I'm likely to walk out of there with a tentative diagnosis - es. (Labels. I don't like labels.) I'm not really looking forward to it. I over-think questions and answer them according to what I think their looking for - not always to what I actually believe or think. That's no good when they're actually testing YOU.
They're likely to send me home with a diagnosis - es. Also, drugs.
But - I'm scared of most medications.
I don't want ANYTHING to make me sleepy, out of it, "too chill," calm, or relaxed. I don't want to relax. I want to get up and get poop done. I don't want anything that's going to give me the munchies! I already HAVE that problem. I graze like a heifer most of the time - pick, chew, pick pick pick.
I don't want anything that is going to make me gain weight without adding to my diet, either.
So, I'm guessing I need what, cocaine, crystal meth?!
What else can you take to make you motivated, unaffected by stress and thin? No, seriously. What?
I've been on Ritalin, it "worked" - but I was also like 15 years old. Adderall, others? But, what about the side effects? Aggressiveness? Hiss! I think I'mma need TWO things.
Anybody BTDT already?
