>Matt, take a deep breath, here, OK? You don't make life altering decisions like this overnight, so you don't have to join up today.
Didn't you say you were going to see your pdoc alone? What happened with that? Have you changed your mind?
I strongly recommend that you rescind your waiver allowing your mother to be part of your health care. Period. I also strongly urge you to discuss these things with your doctor when you see him alone. Let him know that you're struggling so much, and that you're sure your mother will "go nuts" if you start taking Dexedrine again. TELL HIM, and ASK HIM for help dealing with it. That's part of his job. You can even ask him to tell your mother that it's his medical opinion that:
A) You need to see him alone, in order for him to get a more accurate picture of your progress, and
B) that you need to be on an ADHD medication.
But Matt? You don't need testosterone. That's something you'd only need if your little dangly guys stopped doing their job. And you certainly don't need the military.
You need to work with a good therapist, and you need to find a way to work out your relationship with your mother.
Good luck with all of this.
