On an unrelated note, does anyone know anything about MRIs? I've been having (possibly delusional) thoughts that I have brain damage and it's really distressing so I feel like having one would put my mind at ease. If I need a legitimate reason to get one, I can always point to the fact that I was supposed to get tested for epilepsy and never did... I just hate this obsessive thought...

I had a brain mri before. The main bad part was how loud all the knocking was. But otherwise not too scary.

Honestly I would rather have a CT than an MRI because those take forever I think like an hour and they are really loud the CT is pretty fast but it's like an x-Ray instead of magnets and less detailed...

I was supposed to get tested for epilepsy because I have panoramic visual hallucinations in addition to other visuals... and there was one incident where I had an "aura" before some bad breakthrough hallucinations... I know they usually use EEGs but I don't think that can pick up brain damage. I don't think I have epilepsy but that nagging thought that I have brain damage somehow just won't go away... I'm like having flashbacks to every time I've hit my head, held my breath for too long, fasted, etc. and I just can't shake the feeling that this is my fault... But if it is delusional, then maybe I shouldn't get one because that's like giving into delusions. So idk.

Well sort of I had gone to a normal ER twice in two weeks and gotten a head CT twice based on the whole crazy thing but they didn't treat me...then I got admitted to the psych ward and was supposed to have an MRI...I filled out the paperwork but never got it...pdoc asked why and I didn't know and he found out on the question with are you pregnant yes no I had written in maybe....because of my rape delusion... well we got to talking and I said I already had a head scan and he wanted to know exactly what and then he said oh well you don't need an MRI then...so in this case they are pretty interchangeable but the MRI is much more sensitive but since they are pretty much trying to rule out tumors which are big or large missing sections or bleeding which is apparent etc a CT is apparently good enough.

Oh I think I answered the question wrong I assumed you meant choice of which test but maybe you meant choice about getting the test at all? I'm pretty sure my pdoc would have written up any tests I wanted or talked me out of it if it was not reasonable...like I asked him if it could be due to an infectious disease and he said it was super rare and unlikely so I gave up on that one...

Can we blame the brain? | ScienceNordic
This all reminds me of this guy apparently his IQ was only 84 but he was a perfectly Normal working dude till they scanned his brain for an unrelated problem and found out it was hollow...

I just feel like I'm getting more stupid and I get the feeling that doctors are laughing at me because they think I'm stupid. Or they're playing along with me because they don't want me to know I have brain damage. It's like I can look back on specific points in my life where I got hit in the head or did something stupid and I can't help but think my brain is damaged. And then I feel like if my brain weren't damaged I would've been able to deal with stress and hallucinations better instead of going crazy like I did...

The only thing I'm doing right now intellectually is trying to graduate. I haven't been practicing French and German so my foreign language skills are rusty. Once I graduate I'm going to take a year off/go to community college before I go to university. I need to get some academic credits because I lost my junior and most of my senior years to being in the hospital. My dad went to community college because he had to drop out of high school due to drug problems, and he still ended up going to an Ivy League school, so there's hope. On a completely unrelated note, I kind of want to get a tattoo. I want a small puzzle piece on my wrist. I know the puzzle piece is supposed to be for autism, but to me it represents putting my life back together. (I love 3D puzzles, too, so it's not completely serious.)

Here is a very poorly drawn image of what I want to get (but it would be on the other wrist-- I'm a righty.)

If you want to do training I highly recommend lumosity it takes like 10-15 minutes to train and you're supposed to do it 3-5 days a week. I find it really energizing like I can concentrate better after doing the exercises....I have no idea why because it's not like it really has anything to do with intelligence it's just a bunch of games but it's kind of like how a small appetizer can make you more hungry...
