Hi, new here and feeling overwhelmed, partially because I'm new here and it makes me anxious to do social online. But before I thought of joining I was overwhelmed, half intoxicated (figure of speech) by the last year's during I've been sectioned four times for my safety according to my team and diagnosed with schizophrenia and now autism. It's been a lot to go through, lots of experience some bad memories that I struggle to get out my head.
It's been over a year since I was last hospitalised but I'm always anxious it might happen again. I'm just rundown it's been a long time of constant turmoil and I'm trying to move on, unsuccessfully so far.
I'm kind of happy about my autism diagnosis. After year's of feeling like a loner who didn't belong on this world I finally belong and understand better who I am. It's a comforting thought and feeling, even if my family don't agree.
I'm hoping I can find friends and understanding here. I don't know how active I will be but I'm going to be around for a while.
