Speaking of which, just made the appointment to get a psych evaluation and see where I fall on the Asperger's spectrum. Not really sad about that, but the fact that they're already asking if I want medication management is unsettling. I'd rather not be drugged into social conformity, thanks.
Yeah... if their first reaction is medicate, you need to find a second opinion like the first one's on fire. If they're considering that before they attempt any sort of counseling, therapy, even seeing if there's an
actual fucking problem... then they're probably not worth the toilet paper their degree is printed on, or at the very least don't actually give a shit about your mental health. "Drop th'bastards" would be my immediate advice, because that's a
really bad indicator regarding the folks you're seeing's capability at their nominal job.
Psychoactive medication is the possible (and not always necessary
or desirable!) diet part of a cognitive "diet
and exercise". If any goddamn thing's saying you'll lose weight and keep it off without noting the latter's the part that
actually freaking matters and attempting an exercise regimen
first, they're trying to sell something only a half step from snake oil, at best. Same thing applies to mental health. Medication is the option of last resort for any psychologist worth a damn.
