yeah it def added to my decision. i still dont know exactly what was wrong with the stress test echo thing. it said âminor abnormalitiesâ and to call and make an appointment for the details which i havent done.
i wish it was while on meds. first the found the inverted T waves while i was on haldol and abilify. then i took myself off the meds. and after 3 months my EKG was still not normal and the stress echo was off meds for 3 months. so i think whatever it did its permenant
Could be permanent its possible

Your disability benefits shouldnât stop because youve came off meds just explain your situation honestly
I still think please try to at least talk to a doctor over the phone it sounds like you have a severe phobia of speaking to people
You wont have any clarity of your health condition unless you have tests and speak to a doctor.
Maybe take someone with you or explain you can only do it over the phone

yeah i hope so. theres a chance they wont. they would make me see the state appointed doctor for probably one hour to decide if i can keep disaility but ive done that twice before. and since they have all the old records and the form my mom fills out on me its not extremely terrible and i dont have to say much. so i would do that once every 7 years or whatever.
yeah this is true. its a combiantion. i think it is def a phobia. and also it feels hard. like hard to say more than a few words. and i lose my thoughts when i try to talk. and i feel paranoid. and sometimes i feel like the meanings of my words are being changed when i speak and the other person is hearing something else than what im saying (but i dont feel like that lately).
my mom went with me to the cardiologist and that was a lot easier. but i would never want her to go to the psych with me. i dont tell her anything. and i cant be open about things in my head in front of her. it feels embarrassing or something idk

What results came of seeing the cardiologist?
I just meant take someone with you to see about physical heart condition etc you need clarity on
It would be one less thing to worry about thats all

i saw him and he ordered the stress echo. the inverted t waves were already caught lots before the cardio appointment. then i had the stress echo and i got a message from the cardiologist that said there were minor abnormalities and to make a follow up appointment to find out about it. but i havent done that yet. so i didnt get much info yet.
