Intake part 2: they've just referred me for both an autism assessment and, at long fucking last, EMDR! It's taken me YEARS to fight for this outcome, I'm literally shaking with surprise and relief. This is EXACTLY what I wanted. I made it here alive? I WASN'T wrong to spit in death's eye after all??
Oh mate it was so funny, the doc was trying so hard to break bad news to me gently and manage my expectations before telling me "we can probably only manage 20-30 sessions focusing on laying to rest the 6 worst things to ever happen to you and defying all of your low, low expectations of our system"
