figuringoutmy20sBeen a few days since i last updated this.
I ended up making it home last friday for the weekend after getting my battery boosted. I changed the radio with a different one from the scrapyard over the weekend since my dad and my bf were saying that was likely the reason for the parasitic draw. It's been driving and functioning pretty normal now. Please universe, let this be the last thing it needs to run for a while.
I just had an appointment with a psychiatrist from my school who was able to diagnose me with inattentive ADHD. Woohoo! I've been waiting for this kind of validation all my life and now it's finally here. A reason why I am the way I am and a reason why I feel this constant struggle throughout life, being constantly misunderstood and overwhelmed. I can finally give a name to the symptoms I have known my whole life. This is very comforting to me. However, I just realized while writing this that I had some paperwork I needed to be filled out by the doctor, so I will have to follow up again ugh. But overall, I'm pretty glad that this has happened and I have a weight lifted off my shoulders. I will have to make an appointment with the office next week so I can get bloodwork done to rule out any vitamin deficiencies. After that, I should be able to start medication if I choose. I think I will go this route to help manage my symptoms, so then it will be a journey of trying to find the right medication and the right dosage, which may be difficult.
Now I need to really focus on studying because I have a math test tomorrow night.
