After months and months of deliberation on medication vs. no medication... I decided to finally find a psychiatrist and try to see if medication can help. I've done so much work on my own with my therapist and while I've made some big improvements in some areas.... There are still massive struggles and I think I can admit I need help.
Because of all the work I've done, I can point to my issues more clearly and I'm hoping that my clarity will help me to avoid yet another psychiatric fail.
The problem that remains is finding a doctor that takes my insurance and seems like a good fit and won't be clueless about adult autism. I have found a small handful of NPs and PAs with a lot of potential, but I'm not sure my insurance will cover prescriptions issued by someone not technically a "DR."
This already isn't proving to be easy. I'll have to call my insurance tomorrow and try to see what options I have. I love how hard this already seems—and the fucking irony of needing a doctor for executive function problems and that search requiring a lot of executive function.
