My therapist is making me retake the ADHD test to see where I score now that my brain is firing on all cylinders again, as apparently severe b12 deficiency can mimic ADHD symptoms (it was certainly starting to cause dementia like ones in me, which was terrifying to say the least) and she wants to see where I land. Whether I’ll be more hyper or more inattentive or if I’ll score lower. I’ll let you know how it goes.
*wheeze*
I scored higher. I specifically scored 20+% higher on the hyperactivity spectrum of the scale, giving me a new total of being 98% hyperactive with occasional bouts of inattentiveness. My therapist is just like “oh…oh no…oh dear” I’M YELLING
Me: “So what you’re telling me is, my attention span is even worse, but now I have the mental energy to hyper fixate on them with clarity and actually keep up with all my multiple projects and hopefully finish them, is that what you’re telling me?”
Therapist, making strangulated noises over the phone: “Please don’t. You’re still recovering, please don’t start working on multiple things at once. Pick one project and try to stick with it. What about the…the vampire one?”
Me: “I’m afraid you’ll have to be more specific.”
Therapist: “The gay one.”
Me: “…..I’m afraid you’ll have to be more specific…”
