the problem with anxiety is that it disrupts your life and you're like hey hm maybe i should talk to a doctor but then your anxiety is like hahahaha no that's bad and scary and you're just dumb

I self diagnose myself with some form of an anxiety disorder, which is dumb and I should probably actually see someone about it but hey I don't know.

I am however actually diagnosed with ADHD. ( There is no greater irritation than hearing someone who makes a mistake or forgets something and says that they are "so ADD") Why people use mental disorders/illnesses as adjectives is absolutely beyond me.

Anyways, i got diagnosed in 2nd grade. i was on medication until 7th grade when i got taken off of it because i almost fainted after taking it once at swim practice. but i honestly think i lied about taking it, i cant remember. But i was grossly out of shape and i had been taking Ritalin for years so there's no reason i would have a reaction years later.

This past year I had asked my doctor about possibly going back on it, i have been off it for so long that i kind of forget that i actually have ADHD. and she told me to wait awhile and ask again.... ? ? And my doctors office is just too far to deal with, and i still see a pediatrician although im trying to change i just want my mom to come with me since im not familiar with her place. But i haven't brought it back up to my doctor. It just gets on my nerves that just because im not a kid anymore doesn't mean that i dont have it. At least thats the way my doctors office makes you feel. I know the symptoms, I know my illness. It's so sh*tty.

my favorite part was that all the orderlies/doctors talked about me and i could overhear it, they all said i was very compliant and easy to work with, which was nice. my current psychiatrist also said that i picked up the "doctor lingo" really fast.
