Guess What I Learned Today!
So I was talking to my mom about getting a doctors appointment so I can get a referral to a psychologist so I can finally find out if I'm bipolar. She started ranting on about how bipolar disorder hasn't been around for that long and she doesn't want me on any medication because doctors don't know anything about the long term effects. So I said that I just want to get diagnosed and that maybe I'm not bipolar maybe I'm just ADHD (cause I had read that ADHD can easily be mistaken for bipolar disorder) and she looks up from folding laundry and says "you are ADHD, I had you diagnosed years ago"
So apparently I'm ADHD and nobody even bothered to tell me, and then my mom says "well the doctor gave us a choice we could either put you on medication or just change stuff to make it easier for you, so we decided to go with that."
So tell me, mom, what have you done to make my life easier?
was it forcing me to take all advanced courses even though my grades were already bad?
was it leading me to believe lack of sleep was why I could never focus in class, even when I was getting the required hours of sleep per night?
was it letting me blame myself for my failing grades?
most people I know with ADHD have to go to the resource room to get extra help in their classes but not me cause I didn't even know.
If you haven't guessed I'm a little pissed at my parents right now,
