I feel lonely, I want friends but not everything that comes along with it. I don't go out or live a 'normal' life. I left my job due health and mental health issues. I completed the ASQ50 form and I've been put on the 2 year waiting list for assessment. I have a psychiatrist and cmht. I'm struggling, I don't go out on my own, I feel safe at home. I like having my routine. I can't talk to people. I could list loads of things but the main point I'm trying to make is I'm struggling, I'm not living im just existing.
I have bipolar, I'm 99% certain I'm autistic. Does anyone else have bipolar and autism. Does the assessment only focus on autism or could the assessment result in a change of my bipolar diagnosis. I don't want to have the hassle of fighting for my bipolar diagnosis and the worry of them taking away my meds
To feel happier and to understand myself more
What would you like to do but feel unable to right now? When I've really struggled (and I still am), working out what I actually want and taking baby steps is how I've got... maybe not from just existing to living, but at least to existing in a more comfortable state.
