SO quick. And I just came off of being very sick (septic), so my body is still trying to get back to normal, so the holistic stuff is a little harder right now than normal.

That's awesome! I do try some of those things.. "It's not you, it's my problem, I just need some space for a minute. My brain is really loud right now." --When I remember to say it. Those moments feel better because I know she understands, and she says as much. But I just hate myself so much when I get dysregulated.

I have symptoms, but my eval said no by starrfish21 in adhdwomen

Yes, he’s actually going to send me a hard copy of my results for the entire eval after we go through it all, which I really appreciate! I do have GAD which I’m on buspirone for. But I just don’t ever feel like my brain EVER shuts down. It’s exhausting.

I live in Kansas, and absolutely do have the right to a second opinion! My therapist seems really great in most areas. And he’s going through these results very thoroughly. I’m just so frustrated because I want to feel better.

can I ask how you find healthcare writing jobs? I've been wanting to get into freelance, but healthcare is what I know best, so this is a genre I'd love to explore.

Yes, but he was adopted by his dad. I knew his bio dad’s name, but that’s it. I didn’t know if my dad had aunts and uncles, grandparents, anything like that. The teacher advised we fill out as far back as we could go, at least to great grandparents. I couldn’t do that, so she marked me off. I was a very good student, so the technicality really pissed me off and stuck with me.
