My counselor just called...

[Deja Q]

Asked how I was doing with everything.

When I'd tell her something, she'd get very hawkish and pretty much obvious that all related follow-up questions would help her peg me with something.

She asked how I felt about the nruological appointment, which neurogolist I'd seen, and so on.

It was agreed that the Klonopin had induced the unconscious state I was in.

I think I might have shocked her when, after she said I'd fainted in their office, that I said I had no memory whatsoever.

(I must be depressed because I'm sleeping all the time, that seemed to be her reaction. I didn't follow-up with this but I think I'm sleeping all the time because I'm fatigued and dizzy? I know I have some of the classic symptoms of depression, but I believe they're wanting to get me on some drugs for what they think the problems are. Meanwhile, I'll find out next week how much they'll truly listen to me because, no shock from me here, all the others never had...)

I also made the mistake of saying I was under for 3 hours at work (she did not know the problem started at work) but she might have been acting as if I'd been making things up; how I knew that. (It was a guess; I recall going back to my office at 9:30. A co-worker said I was found at around 1:30 when I'd woken up.)

She also mixed up 'Wednesday' with 'Friday' on the phone message, proof we're all human. :-)

It'll be fun next wednesday to see what they say. While I agree with her diagnosis at this point, I do want to stress - and give examples of - issues throughout my life that give weight to the idea that my disoder is a disorder that came about from a PDD. I'd read some of my permanent report in 10th grade. I've been told of tests taken. There has been an ongoing problem and they need to understand that (a) I am not making this up and (b) I am not schizophrenic, schizo-affective, or anything else they might to label me with.

And I've printed out some documentation which I hope we get a chance to discuss. There is merit to my case.

1. I hope you get things sorted out

What's a PDD?

[Deja Q]

2. Pervasive Developmental Disorder. Examples include:

ADD/ADHD
Autism
Asperger's
(and others)

In fact, many diagnosed with ADD/ADHD have been re-classified with Asperger's.
