I really don’t know where to start so will start if by thanking u for reading.
ive struggled with what I was told was depression and anxiety going back to when I was young (I’m 46 now and female). Back when I was a child I struggled with emotions and friendships and to this day it’s still the same. I wouldn’t say I have a real friend.
i first got a mental health diagnosis after my first son was born 22 years ago and since then I have been seen by various mental health professionals. I have tried many medications and combos of meds as well as ECT and I’m still struggling. My current meds are olanzapibe, amitryptaline, Lamotragine, propranolol. I am worse than ever.
i struggle with everyday tasks, however I continue to go to work with my mask on. Work has been getting increasingly tricky as there is lots of changes happening and I’m not dealing with this. I can’t do change.
i work with young people and when I took her for an autism assessment I cane out of there and thought wow that is me, it was like a lot of things made sense however I have never shared this with anyone.
i fixate on things to the point that I’m scared to move my car in case I can’t get parked again in the exact same spot! I know this is stupid but it’s upsetting me. Other things are noises that I hear and I focus on them. They get on my nerves but the noise is so small and others can’t here. I freak if someone sits next to me on the bus who is chewing gum. Honestly
is this all down to my mental health or could I be right and thinking I’m on the spectrum. I’m seeing my psychiatrist on Thursday so going to speak to him about it
please let me know ur thoughts
