Not been on here for a while. I had a bad experience and was given a non diagnosis.......then i was diagnosed by a private clinician, who was very decent. Anyway.....
So, a year on and I still struggle with my diagnosis and dont mention it because people just dont get it do they?. I dont mention to anyone i am autistic/aspergers. I do have many add traits too and im in the system for that but i dont really care to be honest.....anyway....im doing very well. I am given lots of space and my family understand me a little better. Im in a good place. I hardly drink as much now because i was self medicating quite alot.....
I hope everyone is good and for people on the journey, I wish you the best and even if the NHS let you fown, dont give up and trust your gut because they aint always right!
You sound quite similar to me. I still do drink a lot but I hide it well now. I have Autism and ADHD, it took a while to get the diagnoses. I'd stop drinking if I could find love...
I think we are all quite similar in that regard...... drinking helps with social awkwardness doesnt it? Unfortunately you have a bad day or.....a regular day and you seek that dopamine hit......even tho its not good the next day. Hopefully you find a nice understanding person but even if not at the moment. Kick it to the kerb or just cut down a little with the alcohol and see how it goes? Good luck
