I was also able to obtain a record of my original testing at age 5, and there was still a V / NV discrepancy, over 20 points. :hmm

The appointment went well, he seemed competent, I have another appointment this friday.

I have an appointment with a new therapist on Friday, hopefully they aren't a charlatan. It was hard to find someone who took the insurance, so hopefully they'll be decent, because I'd like to avoid having to go through that process again.

I still feel like I've regressed a lot though, like going from being labeled as "gifted" in school to being labeled as a "slow learner". I haven't had the best experience with the medications, but if seeing another therapist for a while isn't enough, I may be willing to give it another shot. I...

I've still been pretty depressed, especially since I lost someone who I was close to. Anyway, a few months ago I filled out the MMPI for adults, 567 questions, and it's supposed to be administered by a psychologist, but I found the scoring online and took it myself, and it's the adult version...

When I was diagnosed with the circadian rhythm sleep disorder, it was good to know that it wasn't all my fault why I would sleep all day and why I missed over 300 school days.

But I do tend to be unconscientious in real life, like with my fish tank maintenance and stuff like that. The big 5 personality traits are also valid constructs, which have predictive ability. The questions were qualitative in nature, meaning that they ask about qualities that manifest on your...

I wish I were more conscientious, then it'd be easier to get a degree, LOL. I took some online big 5 personality trait test a while back, and scored low on conscientiousness, and I just retook it now, and scored even lower. :oops: Bottom 1% for conscientiousness 😬

Her diagnosis of me that she sent to the insurance even had to do with stuff being wrong with my personality, I believe it was "Other specific personality disorders". I got a list of therapists that are supposed to take the insurance, but some of them aren't taking new patients, although I...

My dad has been calling around to find me a different therapist who takes the insurance, hopefully I can find someone better. The last therapist I saw seemed kind of angry and bitter both times I saw her, even though the two appointments I had with her were over a year apart. I am a pretty...

She said that the issues were due to problems with my personality.

My sleep specialist didn't think that I had CJD.

I guess sometimes I just get feeling down, like I feel I'll end up stuck at some minimum wage job and not have a good life in the future, largely in part due to the fact that I'm behind academically where I should be for my age, as I've missed a lot of school.

The only thing I've really been taking recently has been the melatonin for the sleep disorder. I've seen a good amount of therapists over the years, I was seeing one in 2019 who I thought was nice and who I liked, but I didn't make a lot of progress with him, and then he left his job as a...

I started taking an SSRI in late 2018, and it killed my appetite, and made me lose a lot of weight, and I already had a very low body mass index, in the bottom few percentile ranks, so I stopped taking the medication. I don't think it was safe to stay on. I've thought about trying medications...

The last therapist I saw wasn't very good. I tried to talk to her about how I worried about stuff, like how I was afraid that I might be suffering from Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, but she said that I was just using a "grandiose rationalization" for my behavior, since I don't accomplish much...

I'm glad that you found a therapist that you like! I still need to find a good therapist. It's draining seeing multiple therapists and then having them not be a good fit.

Thank you, your story gives me some hope. I guess I try to keep in mind that I'm still young, and that there will be a lot of possibilities in the future, but negative feelings in the moment can be very powerful. For some reason I was put into a "gifted" class in elementary school, and I did...

I'm glad that this thread was posted, it can sometimes be pretty hard to find supportive places, and this appears to be one. I struggle with various worries, and get pretty depressed sometimes. I also feel emotions very strongly, stronger than most people that I've met. I'm also an extremely...
