we must have psychiatric evaluations done as part of our required documentation for our adoption.
wild, right?
so this afternoon, i was filling out some of the patient forms and well, i couldn't help but laugh.
it isn't funny HA HA...or is it?
see what i mean?
"Please check all of the following symptoms or thoughts that apply to you at this time or during the past six months:
depressed mood
diminished interests or pleasure
sleep disturbance
fatigue
change in appetite
hopelessness
pleasure in few activities
weight change
agitation
excessive worry
i feel like i'm losing control
irritability
poor concentration
tension
feelings of panic
socially withdrawn
use of alcohol"
(...etc.)
ummmm, really?
should i just check them all?
i don't know one single person who couldn't check at least a handful of these.
what are they trying to say?
maybe i should become a regular patient here.
SO NOT JOKING.

It should be more like a "rank these in order" from most prevelent to least...that is crazy!
I should TOTALLY be in therapy RIGHT NOW.
I actually was in therapy...
for years...
I was a sick pup
now I am just insane!!! :-)
Therapy is SO helpful. I think pretty much everyone should be seeing a shrink! It's just helpful and it's always good to work out your issues. but I'm about to go to grad school to be a psychologist... so I'm just a little biased!
Oh goodness! I should be in therapy with you.
