I don't know for sure if what I have is necessarily the pseudobulbar affect, but a lot of aspects of what I feel are similar. I have doubts that it is the same thing because I seem to be able to control it if I know that there will be serious repercussions or that I will be bothering someone. I haven't brought it up to a doctor before because I guess I just felt guilty about it, and that it wasn't something that medical doctors could help with. My mom also isn't very supportive of me going to see doctors right now. She seems to think that I am wasting money by seeing doctors, and it is a bit annoying that she doesn't seem to care about my own personal health. I actually feel kind of guilty every time I schedule a doctor's appointment, but I know that I can't get better on my own. My insurance (covered through my mom's) also doesn't include anything psychological, so the only option I have is therapy at my university's counselling center. I was planning on talking to that therapist about this problem, but I have to reschedule an appointment because I forgot about a big commitment that I had on the day of the appointment. I wish that I could just have a session on a day that I am available, but everywhere requires that you make an appointment at least a week in advance. I also have to bend over backwards it seems to get my medical records from my current neurologist so that I can get a second opinion as a doctor at my school recommended. I feel like it should be easier for me to obtain my own medical records than this. Maybe it is easy for other people and I just can't handle these hassles. idk.
