I shouldn't have too much trouble getting off this one if I have to, but it's finding something else that works. This is the third drug I've been on. The field of anti-depressants I haven't tried gets narrower by the day, and I'm not yet 28. And the pissing about, getting a drug up to its effective dose is miserable. Before this last month happened, I was thinkign about going med-free for a while (I was med-free for three years, up until Septemberish last year), but the fact that the melancholia and anxiety are creeping in when I'm still at a full dose doesn't give me any hope for that for a while, yet.
I KNO, RITE? Why bother asking for clarification if you think you have all the answers.
Really, she wasn't a bitch, she was just ignorant and coming to the wrong conclusions. But I'm sick of having to start at page one with a new person every six months when they shuffle me to a different case worker or change the system.
it's so completely ridiculous that the people at the actual disability network thingy do not know what the disabilities are. AAAAARGHH!
i know someone said to my sister (who has m.s.) 'but you can walk' and she had to explain that yes, today she can. but some days she CAN'T! HONESTLY!!!
D: @ b. Seriously?? THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE! OMG. I've written up a concise run down of everything I've been through and printed it out to hand to the next clueless idiot I have to deal with. Perhaps a short summary and a reading list for the next time you come across this FAIL? Because as horrifying as it is, it will happen again.
And ugh. Changing meds is never a fun time (the problem with anti-depressants are that we don't yet have the kinds of tests necessary to ensure that the right balance of dopamines and serotonins and all the happy chemicals are being brought about. It'd be VERY NICE if someone actually came up with proper methods of drug prescription). *hugs*
It seems to me that one of the requirements of this person's job is to know the difference between various, well-known conditions like, say, autism and dyslexia. That just boggles my mind.

You mean dyslexia and autism are different? Someone should put that in a book or something. Except books are hard. Someone should make a MySpace.
She probably caught the words "reading" and "non-verbal", put 2 and 2 together and got 22.

As for the annoying lady, she probably hear you say "I have issues with reading" and then stopped paying attention to the rest of the sentence. :P
