No really, I have a diagnosis and everything. (Several, actually) My most recent diagnosis is Mood Disorder NOS (Not Otherwise Specified). (I was once told that NOS is a polite euphamism for GOK, which stands for God Only Knows.)
In my case, Mood Disorder NOS is also an euphamism for it’d-be-bipolar-if-you-didn’t-cycle-through-the-emotions-so-damn-fast, thus proving I can’t even manage to have a normal mood disorder.
I mention all this because I suspect I’m on the verge of my next diagnosis: an anxiety disorder. It’s gotten so bad I have to take Klonopin (kind of like a concentrated form of Valium) before I go to bed so I can sleep. When I don’t take the Klonopin, I sleep lightly, wake very easily, and my sleep is punctuated with weird stress dreams.
And here’s the really fucked up part: lately my stress dreams have been about trying to get an iPad. Seriously. I know I want one and all, but that’s just pathetic.
