Hi, Brain,
The state governments have strict criteria about taking away someone's civil rights and locking them up in a hospital. You are not any where near that. You are safe.
The results of the testing will help you. The medical team will have a full dx. They will know what kind of medicaiton and other treatments might work for you. Testing is always a good thing.
I always go to the same tiny grocery store on off hours. Every body who works there knows my face. Some say hello. Most allow me to be alone while I go about my business. I am comfortable there and they are used to me.
I drive the same routes, stop at the same gas station --- things like that.
This is good for the brain and the body:
- sleep
- exercise --- if your docs have approved it
- music
- mediation and / muscle relaxation
- sunshine
- going to bed by 9:00 ( blue light at night messes with our sleep hormones . . If you do not go to bed, get off the computer and the tv and read a book (no blue light from screens.
