I have ADHD officially :0
a month ago
Sup ya'll,
I did in fact get the ADHD diagnosis. I don't think I talked about it much on here, but I tried to get diagnosed, I dunno, 6 years or so ago. The place I went to was uhhh questionable at best. Particularly looking back with the new information I have from doing the BSc in Psychology, so much of the original procedure is a bit questionable both from a research standpoint and clinically. So when a sibling got diagnosed, I basically just flat out asked his psychiatrist if it was worth getting reassessed and he said yes. So I basically booked a referral to the same guy and he basically diagnosed me on the spot, so I guess it was pretty obvious >__>
ANYWAY, this update is mostly to just be like, this is what happened this week, I am finally over my cold(s) but I am starting ADHD medication that takes uh, 2-3 weeks to adjust to I think. It's already pretty obviously helping and I'm not even on a proper dose (what do you mean I can listen to conversations without spacing out and losing what's happening). Though perhaps predictably, I just fell asleep the first day (the joke here is every medication I try or try to come off makes me sleepy).
I still have another health issue I need to sort out with my regular GP that is impacting my ability to work as such I have not sent out more invoices yet, just be aware you are there and I see you I just don't feel great taking more money when I'm not actively working (I'm almost there today, I think, so hopefully by next week I will be recovered enough). The TL;DR for the other health issue is I'm getting a tonne of fatigue that doesn't seem to be related to the autoimmune issue. It might be complex or really simple but currently it's pretty debilitating. Luckily I can draw laying down, and cleaning the house can be done in small bursts, but I'm quite frankly just over being fatigued constantly. It's like all the life gets sucked out of your very bones.
I hope you are all doing well, despite the rough physical side of things, my mood is staying pretty high. As an added bonus I think I have converted a friend into a furry (he wants a pitbull fursona) so that's been fun :D
Ka kite,
