Sort of conflicted

I go in for my Attention Deficit Disorder testing tonight.

I'm really not sure what result I'm hoping for.

If I come up positive, that means I have an explanation for why I haven't been able to put my talents and gifts to better use over the years and maybe a way to do something about it. But it also means that my brain, the part of myself I've always been most proud of, has something intrinsically wrong with the way it functions.

On the other hand, if the results are negative it's proof that my brain isn't broken (that way at least). Instead, it leaves me as just a general screw-up.

Done

I have officially been diagnosed with ADHD, predominantly inattentive type.

The therapist who diagnosed me does not prescribe medication, so I'll be talking to my regular doctor about that. I'll also continue talking to a counselor on a regular basis.
