Waiting for assessment

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.
