Psychotomy

had my psych appointment last week …

doc feels i don’t have adhd. b/c i was never expelled for knifing a teacher in kindergarten or somethign.

according to the stuff i’ve read, apparently adult adhd “symptoms must have been present since age 7 or earlier” for a diagnosis in an adult. it also says “the fact that you’ve not been diagnosed until adulthood … a compliment to your ability to cope/hide the symptoms” …

so the fact that i didn’t get diagnosed means i don’t have it b/c if i did have it i would have been diagnosed, unless i hid it and didn’t get diagnosed, and do have it except i can’t have it b/c i didn’t. or don’t. or something.

fuck.

and i can’t really figure out how taking amphetamines is supposed to help me concentrate and be less restless …

not that doc’ll give them to me. damnit.

*sigh*

am i gonna need a new psych?
