Hi everyone! It's been a minute. I was very stressed/busy this past week and hardly slept at all (which of course backfired on me). I knew that I needed to sleep, but had to get something done I felt, and ended up putting it ahead of my sleep. Well my brain went haywire and I felt agitated and extremely anxious. Just all in all not good. This past weekend I went on a trip with my SO and the first couple days my thinking was real wonky. Fortunately today, after a couple nights of decent sleep, I am doing a bit better.

I had therapy last week and my therapist mentioned maybe I should get tested for my attention issues to see if it's anxiety or something else like ADHD. For some reason I am intimidated by the thought of having a formal psych evaluation. I have this thought of what if I mess up and answer things inaccurately for me, then end up with the wrong diagnosis which will stay in my chart forever? I know that sounds like catastrophizing ( because it is haha). I am more open to the idea now that I am doing a bit better and think maybe I will call my psychiatrist to discuss.

I hope everyone is doing well. Sending compassion.
