- Hi - I'm after some support. For years I have felt different from others but never sure why. I suffer from anxiety and depression and in the last few months have been looking into ASD and am currently going through an assessment to see if I have ASD. I feel so isolated and alone at the moment, from what I've read I tick a lot of the boxes and score quite high on the ASD questions but as I've not yet been diagnosed I feel in limbo. I've always struggled with certain situations and also how to express how I feel and the more I try and the more I feel I'm not understood the more frustrated I get. I try so hard not to be the way I am but after years of trying and counselling and cognitive therapy I feel more frustrated than ever that I can't be what is deemed to be "normal". I know I often overreact to certain things and I can see that after the event but when I'm in the moment I just can't seem to let things go and often feel like my head is going to explode with the way that I feel. I don't know where I stand with anything at the moment and after nearly 44 years of living like this I just feel at the end of my tether.
