Well, I'm getting a brainscan Thursday hopefully. That will be a good teller of all. You don't know everything that I feel either. You haven't endured the anxiety and panic attacks. You haven't endured my antisocial side. You haven't seen my anger or temper. you haven't heard my mood swings. You only know a side of me when it comes to things like this. If it is indeed a misdiagnosis, damn, gotta look for other solutions. but hey, if it IS this... man oh man, im going to be a very happy person again.

Really.. I wish happiness was ever guaranteed constant... How can you be sure that any mediciation they put you on might make things worse? How can you know that it won't totally fubar over your chemistry? How do you know you'll like yourself afterward? How do you know you'll still have control afterward?
After taking so many psych classes, and consistently coming up the same thing, I too thought I was something abnormal.. And then I realized, everyone is. It's abnormal to be completely normal, but normal in today's society to be abnormal..
Besides, I've never been one to like having to rely on something on a daily basis.. How can you be sure you won't cycle on and off because "you feel ok"? How can you be sure on a cycle off, you won't go off the deep end, and end it?
And the bottom line is, you can't. Feel free to get a brainscan, feel free to do what you want, it is your life. But realize that everyone has their problems.

Agreed on all of the above. How will I know? I won't know for sure until I do whatever it is the doctor tells me to do. Whethers thats taking adderall and neurontin, going to a psychologist, whatever. I'm willing to try them all to hopefully save myself from myself lol.
