Adult dx: Anger towards those who should’ve done something

NAS76602

Hi all,

undergoing assessment process starting next week but it seems to pretty obvious to those who know me. I’m kinda getting my head around the prospect. Some of the reading I’ve done alarms me; I’ve experienced bullying both obvious types like at school and uni etc and the more subtle isolating tricks NTs use when they don’t like someone (both hurt just as much imo). 

I’m over 50 years old and I look back at my life and to be honest, I’m extremely annoyed and angry at those who should have done something allowed this behaviour towards me to continue and even took part - parents, siblings, teachers, colleagues (I’m a MH healthcare professional) etc. The closer I get to my assessment the more intense these feelings are……those that are supposed to love and look after me, just let me have a miserable life wondering why I don’t fit in. Anyone else experience these thoughts and feelings? Do they pass?

  • Hello!  I’ve had similar thoughts as I wondered how my parents and teachers either didn’t notice my struggles, or saw them and did nothing about them.  But they were all doing their best to navigate this thing called life, so I know there was no harm intended.

    I think it is a common part of the process, and it does pass if you allow yourself to let it.  (Hope that makes sense!)
