hi! this is actually my first post here.
i’m 18, and just got my ASD diagnosis earlier this year. it was a real game changer for me & has helped me understand so much about myself now and my in my childhood. so much that i struggled with before my diagnosis is easier for me to figure out and manage in my day-to-day life, i’m really thankful for the people that helped me get here!
i feel guilty about it, but even with all the good, theres this feeling i have like there’s something that’s still not right.
i‘ve struggled with my mood, self-destructive actions/thoughts, relationships with others and really my mental stability in general for all my life and even after my diagnosis they’re still here, not getting better like i thought maybe they would, but almost getting worse. i’m starting to wonder if maybe that aspect of who i am is a separate thing all together. i’ve been arguing with myself over talking to my GP, but the last time i spoke to somebody close to me about anything similar i was told i “adapt symptoms of things and then think i have it”, so i’m obviously hesitant to even ask for any kind of advice.
does anybody have anything to suggest, or maybe has had the same feeling before?
