What Is a Mental Health Evaluation?

A medical practitioner's mental health assessment can help you decide how to enhance your well-being, whether through meditation practices, therapy, or medication.

what's the government's response to the awful waiting times to access medical transition? make it harder for people to get referred in the first place. if we can gatekeep a bunch of trans people from ever getting referred in the first place, the waiting lists will be shorter! genius! /s

#caique posts #this is specifically about trans kids and the inhumane waiting times at the *only* clinic for trans kids in the whole england and wales #the proposal would mean GPs will not be able to refer trans kids to clinics directly #they'd have to go through counselling with a separate children and young peoples mental health services before being able to be referred #despite the fact that a psychological evaluation is part of the normal process of receiving hrt/surgery referrals in the first place!! #it literally takes place already in the clinics!! why do they need to go through it twice?!! #i hate this country #vent #uk politics

"Passive influence is more common than switching, and it is more covert and harder to notice. Even switching is rarely as blatant or extreme as the media commonly portrays. It is rarely accompanied by an alter changing what clothing the system is wearing, announcing themselves in public, or extreme whiplashes in behavior or personality. Although an individual's therapist or spouse may learn to recognize not only switches but specific alters, most others may rationalize away any switching that they notice as the individual with DID being abnormally tired, grumpy, or in a strange mood. Even close friends who have expressed previous interest in knowing which alter is out may find that the DID system tries to hide switches from them and that only a few alters that feel very comfortable around the friend are actually willing to make their presence known. Most systems will go to great lengths to hide their condition. Denying and downplaying symptoms as much as possible is common."

#just researching my own mental health symptoms until my evaluation in august and- #please don't use this singular article to self dx as having DID pls #plsss dont make me regret posting this lol #.......can yall notice this on here cuz sometimes i think its noticable 💀

a bunch of people have already registered for my mentoring workshop! unfortunately this means i have to plan and host a workshop aaaaaa

#i want to think aloud through it on here at some point #but i think i am going to structure it around the theme of cultivating student autonomy #because i think one of the primary goals of mentorship is to prepare students to be self-directed learners who can set realistic goals + #evaluate their own progress + reflect on what they've learned and what they still don't know #+ take initiative without sitting around waiting for someone to tell them what to do next #so i think we will do some thinking around like #when we have a student we think of as really capable or driven what qualities and behaviors do we observe in that student #and maybe ill also share some of the research on intrinsic motivation + self-direction + locus of control #which i think is all really interesting esp in light of the contemporary College Mental Health Crisis concerns #and then we will look at a range of tools + structures + strategies that i think are useful for fostering student autonomy over time #and maybe leave them with some core principles/guiding values that i think are useful when you are trying to like #avoid jumping in and doing stuff for kids #or solving their problems for them #idk i need to think through specifics a bit more #but i feel like on this campus #people do a lot of 'workshops' that are really not interactive at all #it's just someone talking from slides #and i kind of want to show off my ability to structure more engaging workshops #but idk. gotta think about how to do it well #and how to build in lots of opportunities for like crowdsourcing strategies too

My Pinterest gets worse and worse with each day that passes and the more hyperfixations that present themselves to me (the metal family board has officially passed my transformers pins and Daft Punk pins) I am at such a loss for words

I need more Dr Frank n Furter tho there's not nearly enough of him

#my mental health craves silly rock fandom :] just look at them go #i really should get a mental evaluation #metal family #daft punk #transformers #RHPS #dr frank n furter

[blinkpen]

note: a big reason i have been extra prickly and prone to venting lately is because the disability application process is still ongoing, i am struggling in the meantime in pretty much every way, the stress of being in perpetual, turbulent limbo all exacerbating all the very reasons i'm having to file to begin with,

and i'm hanging on, bc like as i said, before i'm pretty sure there is a light at the end of the tunnel, but good lord the tunnel itself

#its not helped by mental health evaluations Requiring me to dredge up and focus on all my symptoms all at once #many of which are HEAVILY associated with trauma #and spell out every little bit of it in detail to strangers who now hold my life in their hands #the reasons i have PTSD and hallucinate [REDACTED] and become catatonic and wake up screaming some nights #its also why despite normally being very composed i've been so easy to trigger lately #i've been forced to revisit memories i never want to visit again #and now they are febreeeze fresh in my mind #it sucks it sucks it SUCKS

Me, who called out last Tuesday and wants to do the same thing today (on a Tuesday):

:)

#Nothing even HAPPENED yesterday #Just some shit in my own head #Ugh. I gotta suck it up. I know. #But all in all I really gotta figure my shit out. My mental health is possibly somehow getting worse #And it's such a combination of ass #I'm this close to seeking out a psychiatrist and getting an evaluation #Loon.txt

I think a thing I've never really considered, as an ND person, when it comes to masking and maintaining close friendships is like there's sometimes a selfishness to being completely myself.

That's not necessarily a bad thing, we all deserve the safety and freedom to be ourselves! I think that there is maybe still like a level of conderation that, for myself at least, I need to be aware of.

I've been sort of overanalyzing a friendship after a kind of situation arose because I noticed a pattern. I always like to address situations and be aware of what is causing an issue and like how to correct it from either end.

It's a really dear friendship and we have struggled a few times in different but similar ways and I think in the end it comes down to me and being totally unmasked and as a result there’s a sort of selfishness that happens that I need to be more accountable for.

I don't know really if I have exact words for it but I think like, yes masking is self preservation but I know when I mask there’s a level of awareness I dont possess otherwise and I started thinking that rather than thinking of it like putting on a mask its more layering for cold weather.

So perhaps instead of removing all my layers just because I am safe with someone I think maybe I should consider that person and if it's respectful of Them or their situation to remover all my outside layers.

like I vocal stim, but I mask that with most people. If I'm with a safe person who may have a sensory issue with a sound I should leave that layer on because thats respectful.

I think in a childish way, and without intending to, I've left responsibility on friends I'm comfortable to be with unmasked that's unfair to them. Like an unconscious expectation to be reminded of plans. With work or school or other things I'm more likely to immediately set reminders but I think with close friends i relax/don't rush because 'they'll remind me if i forget the reminder' and that's not super fair if forgetting is happening 50% of the time.

I guess the catalyst to this thought process was thinking about the 'mental load' conversion around wives and husbands and weaponized incompetence bc sometimes the symptoms of my adhd will mirror that and I think there is a bearing of a mental load associated with caring for someone with executive dysfunction at the very least and like what's the solution to that.

because its seems unfair to just expect that from a person you care about but the reverse seems unfair also so what's the happy medium and I think personally its less thinking of my ND as 1 mask i put on and take off and rather each trait is a separate layer, and paybe something things come in pairs like boots and gloves.

So I started to think, if I'm safe with this person and I can take off all those layers with them, they've even said so. Maybe they've even offered to turn the heat up if Im cold so i can take my sweater off.

But maybe I notice they're uncomfortable with the heat turned up, even tho they offered so next time i just keep my sweater on and maybe some days i make an excuse to keep my hat on you know?

Because yeah it's nice to pull all the layers off but it's not always respectful or necessary (or even fair) to expect people to take on that version of me 100% of the time. Even if they say its ok.

I guess all that to say I think as a neurodivergent person that the key to maintaining friendships is the ability to be completely yourself with someone but being respectful of the middle ground and trying to find the balance between them.

does anybody have any advice on seeking a diagnosis for chronic fatigue or just like. a chronic illness in general? I don't know how to bring up something specific like that w my doctor without like... seeming like I'm trying to diagnose myself and being dismissed

#I've never actually had a real appointment w this doctor before either so I don't rlly know what to expect from him yknow #I don't want to just pointedly bring up symptoms either #every time I've gone to the doctor before w problems they've either dismissed me #or been like okay we'll do some blood tests :^) and then nothing happens #so idk how to bring up a specific thing that I think is going and want medical evaluation of and help with #without coming off. a certain way idk #or being asked why I've never brought it up before if its been a problem like forever #and like. I have mental health stuff and insomnia and I don't want it to be brushed off as that... #anyway any advice woukd be much appreciated!!! #ghost posts #text

im going to fistfight whoever the fuck came up with the "there is no try, you do or you dont" thing because Fuck you 1 million times

#the best i can DO on ANY given day is TRY. because i am DISABLED and UNMEDICATED and TRAUMATISED and nobody;s willing to Listen to me about #my own mental health. like babes ive either got adhd or ive got like all of the symptoms for it. and it makes sense. #but the fucking HSE has decided to leave me hanging for 100 years and ive had nothing in terms of (re)evaluation of my needs #like just fuck OFF

[thelightofthingshopedfor]

if I’m not #ActuallyAutistic please explain why I’m vibrating out of my skin with rage at the thumping bassline coming through the very thin walls from my neighbor’s apartment

#actually autistic #I mean the evaluator disagreed but like… #and yes I’m mad about it again because another mental health professional was condescending about it yesterday #‘well if there are say 15 traits of autism and a diagnosis requires 10 then you could have a few traits but not—‘ #bitch I know that #I’m not stupid and more to the point I’m not NEW

Being Shocked and surprised that someone who spent 2013- 20?? Being obsessed with a piece of media about "the miserables" is horrendously mentally ill is so funny to me
