The Beck's has questions like "Have you lost interest in other people" and I sort of stare at that and go, "Well, maybe a little, and mostly I suspect that my presence is pretty much a burden and a drain on everyone around me, so to the extent I have an interest in interacting with other people I don't really want to infict that on them, so ...." Not so much with the brilliant, clear answers. Peering at the options between "I feel like a complete failure as a human being" and "Looking back on my life, I mostly notice fuckups" I'm currently resting somewhere midway between them, so do I score that two points or three? Damned if I know. (Damned anyway. The blog's title is feeling sort of wickedly ironic at the moment.)
Also, it has the insomnia questions and not the hypersomnia ones, and my depression has always been hypersomnia. No, I don't wake up 1-2 hours earlier than I used to, damnit. (And this idiot DST thing isn't helping matters any.) At least the cat let me use him as a pillow today.
I got as far as downloading the intake questionnaire for the medical folks that I'm going to try to get hooked into. They prescribe herbs, acupuncturists, and the like as well as Technocratic medicine, so I have reasonable hope of maybe something other than drug roulette. I can tell them that I take B vitamin supplements and flax oil and it helps, and they may not look at me funny.
