I literally got my diagnosis in one day at my PCP as he went through the DSM 5 criteria and asked some questions about my childhood. It took 30 min and he was not a pill pusher. He does not ever prescribe stimulants. I tried his nonstimulant medication recommendations after feeling the need to have some intervention and they were terrible. When I asked to try a different treatment, he referred me to an in network psychiatrist and things were smooth sailing. The same was true for my two brothers who were also diagnosed as adults and one was diagnosed in another state also at his PCP.

All that being said, I think people make the jump to a psychiatrist too early when they can seek screening at a PCP first. I had to answer a few more questions for onboarding at my psychiatrist, but I never ran into any issues. I also did not have to pay for an ADHD screening because I had already been diagnosed at my PCP.

There are nice bug nets made specifically to fit around hammocks. You see the sky and not be eaten alive.

That makes so much more sense now that I realize it was 个 and nkt 不。the grammar was not making sense but i shrugged it off as text speach. Being dyslexic never helped me with the reading portion of Chinese. I would confidently read characters and write the ones that were almost the same, but differed in one or two strokes or a radical.

My translation with mostly forgotten mandarin schooling. Maybe it will help to show that the picks are connected.

这不马桶。-this is not a toilet. 干了什么- what did you do?

Realistically I get 7-7.5 a night since starting the meds. I have only been on this dosage for about a month now. At that time it had only been about 2 weeks. This has let me to think that it was something other than tolerance when paired with the fact that that I am doing better now.

I has a meeting with my psych a few days ago and he was kind of stumped about how I was down for like 6 days after the trip buy am not functioning well again. He said to just go another month and see what happens. I guess I will try tracking.

I have a portable speaker that I love, but it has this stupid ring of light at the top that brings in different colors and drives me nuts. Luckily it is able to be turned off. It still drives me mad that I have to turn it off each time, though.
