Closer to an official diagnosis | ADHD Information
I saw my psychologist yesterday and gave her the questionaire I was given to fill out. She gave it to the evaluator after I left. There was a message on the answering machine when I got home saying they wanted to do further testing. One step closer to a diagnosis. The biggest problem is that I cannot get in for this further testing until July 12. I am almost bursting at the seams to get some kind of treatment going. I don't know if I can wait but I guess I will have to. My psychologist is also talking about treating me for anxiety but I can't get in to see her again until July 16. I'm going to have to start meditating or something in order to make it. Wish me luck! gettingagrip38147.4150115741Hey, gettingagrip, I will pray for you everyday till then. Ihad to wait a long time on my last wheel before I
could get help, so I know how it is. I almost made
some big life change decisions, trying to escape
from it all. Now I'm glad I didn't.
Hang in there. And if you think it might help, try
getting some zinc, calcium and magnesium, and
iron supplements. Also, if you ever eat eggs, try to
get the free range variety with Omega 3 fatty acids. It
might help somewhat at least until you can do
something else. That stuff might help with anxiety
too.
Peace, friend.
I know the feeling of suspension you must be in right now. We're all here for you! I can't understand for the life of me why they have people wait so long to see a shrink! Mine was the same way, I couldn't get an appointment unless it was a month and 1/2 out! Hang in there, we're rooting for you!
I'll pray for you too. The last week before my diagnosis was the most stressful time of my life. The anticipation was drivin me bonkers!Hi There Gettingagrip! Hang in there! I know its hard. I am trying to get my second refill filled and it is taking longer than expected so I have not had my meds today and I can really tell a difference! Like freedomandfruit said vitamins may help! I'll be praying for you also.
