Wow, what a thing to discover about yourself. Good to know, I guess? Are there ways of coping with it beyond medication? Because that could be really helpful.

Also, can I just say - your experience with the space bar test sounds exactly like what happens when I try to play Rock Band.

I don't know. I am still feeling really lost about it. It's like...everything I thought I knew about myself and my own mind is suddenly inaccurate. Not wrong, precisely. Just...a little off. And I don't know how to process it.

Hee! I've never played Rock Band.

So would I, but apparently I was *hilariously* bad at it. Which is weird, b/c I would think it's the kind of thing I would be good at. Clearly not.

And thanks. I'm still really weirded out over all of it.

How fascinating - that test seems so simple, to judge such a big thing. Very elegant on the part of whomever invented it.

And, ugh. I guess in the long run knowing is better, but that must be incredibly unsettling. I hope now that a few days have gone by, the idea is settling in?

I know--I'm really not sure how the test is supposed to measure it, but I was sort of aware on a meta-level of how often I was daydreaming in those 15 minutes of clicking. I just never thought that was abnormal.

It is incredibly unsettling. I'm not doing too well with it, partly b/c I'm feeling really isolated by it.
