jessejames, you sound just like the scarecrow!
you have a good brain but it's covered in straw.
I'll get dressed up like Toto and go to a dog show
..kill time while waiting for you to withdraw
with prescription in hand and a new take on life!
your new brain will find you a job and a wife.
Miss Frizzle38659.5584722222miss frizzle i have got to say, your poetry has made my day
thank you much you are a dear, this has absolved most all the fear
of setting dates to destiny, of all the possibility
of what the doc may think of me, of reclaiming my sanity
one of the things thats hard to get, is why the meetings hard to set
i put it off for many years, even knowing that the gears
of my mind are out of whack, and now the hope to have it back
it feels like traveling to oz, to get a brain because because
mine is broke it functions poor, which punishes me all the more
my brain will tell me its my friend, watching my back until the end
i know the truth its tough to face, but nows the time and heres the place
although it will attempt to ruse, theres isnt much ive left to lose
but left to gain theres so much wealth, im taking back my mental health
jesse! you're so funny! nice poem :)
i just simply can not see, why this effects emotionallyim am very close to tears, but also very close to cheers
the ups and downs at the same time, is wreaking havok on my mind
at times i only need to see, a leaf thats falling from a tree
to make want to stop and cry, and i can not help but wonder why
as the tear forms on my cheek, suddenly im not so bleak
as all emotion away drains, all thats left is mental stains
of how it felt to feel once more, which leads me further to explore
what makes my feelings turn and flee, or perhaps it is only me
could it be that im the one? that drops them and attempts to run?
i think theres more this equation, that should recieve consideration
which is why i took the leap, to see a doctor less i keep
thinking round and round again, where i start is where i end
jessejames: congratulations!
may all your tribulations
find respite in diagnosis.
A cheery prognosis
to you!
well i did it, i set an appointment. this time its gonna be different then the others. i am taking note of all symptoms and keeping a log of daily events i think may be of interest to the doc.
everytime i have done this (tried to get help) i go to the doc ready to tell everything. but when i get there i go completely blank and end up talking about nothing. not this time, no, this time im armed with pen and paper.
i get alittle upset thinking about it, why dont they just give me a book of untitled tests. then when i turn them in they can review and question for more detail in the areas they see problems. that with a bloodtest or brainscan or something.
people have traveled to outerspace, developed chemicals to make fruits or vegetable grow to enormous sizes,indoor plumbing, internal combustion engine, air conditioning. but inorder to deal with the problems of the mind the method used is still talking, nodding and asking how does that make you feel.
no doubt the medicinal areas have been improved dramatically but the diagnoses is primitive, whose to say that the list of things im rattling off are true? just me and what if im not out for mental health but the prescriptions they offer?
i think my brain knows when i go for help, as an attempt at self preservation it all but shutsdown in the presence of the doc. i wouldnt mind them taking blood to see if chemicals are right, wouldnt mind them taking spinal fluid if it would determine indefinitely the cause of my anguish, i wouldnt even mind them taking picture of my brain naked. anything.
bah, i dont know. just needed to get some off my chest.
Forget the symptom list for now.
Sit down and tell the Doctor you want to be tested for ADD/HD.
Everything should roll into place from there.
