I sent in forms to get more time for the part of the national licensing exam that I need to take over. The forms were fine for State licensing, which is much more rigorous.
I got a packet in the mail today, saying that my diagnosis of Chronic Refractory AGGRESSION did not fit into their guidelines of needing addtional time for testing. They then went on to say how emotional stress and depression were also not substantial, and that I need to have a diagnosed learning disability.
First of all, they have now given me an accurate diagnosis. Because I am so pissed I think I actually do have chronic refractory AGGRESSION. What utter numbskulls.
Now I have about two more days to get the forms into my unreachable doctor, so he can try to write my diagnosis in a way that suits these people. I have a feeling I'm just going to have to let it go. But I'll say one thing, the whole process sure has a way of humiliating a person. Not only do I need to wave my chronic depression like a banner, I then have to have it incorrectly recorded and invalidated no matter what the interpretation. They do everything in their power to make it difficult; it's like a game, and I just cannot understand their win. ARRRRGGHHHH!!!!
On a lighter note, I was passing an old schizophrenic bum wrapped in a yellow blanket sitting on a bustop in 100 degree weather. He said, "Hello, pretty little woman..." as I walked by. That was the best I've had in a long time.
Do you think it means anything?
