Taxes in Mental Health, 2017

I’m so fucking depressed. For the first time ever, we owe and won’t be getting a tax refund. We owe.....$1,053.00. Like whats the point of living? Okay, a bit dramatic. Buuut this is BS. James put his filing status as Married, 0 withholding, I put Married, 1 withholding. We’re both gonna have to be “Single, 0” if we ever hope to get a refund because we simply didn’t have enough taxes taken out of our paychecks for our tax bracket. Fuck me.

So a lot of you were surprised like me about blood drug tests not going as far back as urine tests. I think the jury is hung on that one because I looked into it more and found arguments that the blood tests go back further. This is where I got my info just so no one thinks I made that shit up: Detection windows

ANd I found THIS about Paruresis (the thing that makes me unable to pee for drug tests) on Wikipedia: “It appears that paruresis involves a tightening of the sphincter and/or bladder neck due to a sympathetic nervous system response. The adrenaline rush that produces the involuntary nervous system response probably has peripheral and central nervous system involvement. The internal urethral sphincter (smooth muscle tissue) or the external urethral sphincter (striated muscle), levator ani (especially the pubococcygeus) muscle area, or some combination of the above, may be involved. It is possible that there is an inhibition of the detrusor command through a reflex pathway as well. The pontine micturition center (Barrington’s nucleus) also may be involved, as its inhibition results in relaxation of the detrusor and prevents the relaxation of the internal sphincter.[1]

So it IS an anxiety/SCIENCE thing, and its in the DSM, so you would think a psychiatrist might be a bit understanding, but then again…i get it, she probably gets a lot of people on at least weed.

Whatevs. i hate taxes.. i dont even like our government now.
