ADD

Unfortunately I'm stuck with an ADHD skeptic right now. ( even though I have a legitimate diagnoses. She first agreed to medicate me but could not figure out how to send my prescription electronically to the pharmacy. She got the pharmacist involved and also the secretary involved until she eventually refused to medicate me a day later. It was so fucking weird. She told me " people aren't suppose to be on stimulants that long anyways.) I'm stuck with her until they finally remove a mis-diagnoses I received from a training hospital a couple of years ago from my record. I was taken off my ADHD meds a couple years ago by a new psychiatrist i had been seeing. She litterally said i don't think you need them anymore and stopped medicating me. She didn't test me or assess me- i only saw her maybe 5 minutes a month for meds. My father had died a couple month previous to this so i was already going through serious loss. 4 weeks without my ADHD meds and i had a breakdown. Went to the Training hospital and instead of putting me back on my adhd meds and finding me someone willing to work with me they diagnosed me with something i have no history of and sent me to the people that are making my life harder right now. I'm sure mistakes happen all the time- it is a training hospital. Lol. Anyway.. It's been quite harmful to my mental and physical health. ( i am now slowly making progress with the records department.)

Anyway I was put back on meds since that crazy lady sent me to the hospital with a breakdown a couple years ago. I'm currently off because of this newnew psychiatrist i was telling you about.

It's been a nightmare. Some days I can't pay attention to anything for longer than 5 minutes. Forget about focus on these bad days. Like I am disinterested and dissatisfied almost immediately and moving to the next thing. It's fucking torture. My life is infinitely better and easier with meds. They don't cause mood swings or anything weird. I'm just in a really really crappy situation. Lol.
