    Work was NOT off today, but since I work IT all the calls recently were just about people not being able to use teams or their email.

    Given I am a DoD Contractor, we opted to use other means, like Signal and Wickr, to communicate as opposed to Teams but for email we were SOL.

    I spent all my day just shitposting all over the internet.

    Have to drive through a bit, scary city I’ve never driven in before and then stay in a hospital for a week. I’ve been dreading this for a year.

    And the office is so terrible we thought it was today so now I get to go through the panic again at the beginning of next week.

      I read ‘executive dysfunction’ as ‘erectile dysfunction’ and seriously thought this was another kind of CBT.

        I’m still on page 16 of 195. Too early to tell. It’s pretty much a school reference book from what I can tell, but so far the language has been accessible.

          I’ll be a bummer and conclude that it’s full of reasonable sounding advice that is marginally effective especially in mild cases, if it’s anything like all the other advice I’ve heard. I’ll put it in the category of there’s always market for solutions to unsolvable problems.

          I’m also kinda spiralling right now because my problem is task initiation, and I had a lot of hopes riding a psych eval I just had a consult for.

          I asked her “if my problem is initiating tasks at home, how is testing me in an office with no distrations and strict supervision going to evaluate for that?” She said I would do the five hour assessment and then she would give me a score and my self assessment would be considered in her report, but she sounded really dismissive and didn’t seem to understand how ridiculous her position was. “My tests will pick up if you have inattention.” Bitch, fuck you, I have a fucking master’s degree, I’ve passed Calc I, Calc II, statistics and aced research methods. I can pull this shit together when its absolutely necessary, my problem is getting myself to do things when they are not absolutely necessary without social support.

          Anyway. Maybe I’ll make a comment tomorrow.

            It’s about how medication helps adults with ADHD but absolutely does not come close to being enough. They (we) haven’t had help growing up and didn’t develop the skills necessary to deal with executive dysfunction.

            So complimentary to medication, it’s imperative to develop the skills to make use of the focus now afforded by them. That’s where CBT comes in.

    Do we go on the trip??? Do we???

    Probably???

    Hhh

    Mother’s husband is moving into a rehab place. They found one that isn’t terrible, apparently, and might have already found a bed? Shocking. Hope he does well. Now what to do about our cat. Mother said she’d take care of the cat at her place, but uh. That was BEFORE all the stuff with her husband happened. I have backup guy who can come over if we leave the cat here, but I’m not sure I want to leave her to the entire house without someone here watching her, she’s. Naughty and finds terror. So we’d lop of half the house again with the cat door. Hhh
