Day 22 of waiting for the results of my #NeuroPsychEvaluation for a suspected diagnosis that includes a "low frustration tolerance" as a feature/bug
They told me 2-3 weeks, so you bet your buttons I had my partner call on my behalf to attempt to metaphorically shake something loose

-memory tests, words that start with the letter blank, etc.
These tests seem straightforward, but are designed to be frustrating. I am #HighMasking and the emotional response these tests illicited was very difficult for me. I cried several times, which added to my stress.
The interview portion was also extremely difficult emotionally.
#Grief is a normal part of the #diagnosis of any #disability and/or #neurodivergence so please be gentle with yourselves
