I'm late diagnosed Autistic (diagnosed July 24) and ADHD (Dec 23) so really new to everything. Add top that the fact that I got promoted to Admin Lead of my department in January this year. The new role has mostly been fairly comfortable. My line manager and HR department are fully aware of my diagnosis and on the whole are very supportive. I manage a small team of 6 admin and work with other departments to supply support for them as they need it. Lately, though, I have been feeling overwhelmed, due to the higher ups demands and my inability to say no (people pleaser - YAY!). There have also been some issues with some members of my team and with another manager in the company. My RSD is really kicking in and making me so paranoid that I feel like every conversation, low mood, teams message etc; is directly related to me. I've not wanted to go to work for the last 2 weeks and am on the verge of quitting every five minutes! I had to cancel my counselling due to money issues, and haven't got round to booking back in again yet. Someone talk me down off of this quitting ledge, cos I'm pretty sure that if I don't work this out, I'll be planning my new career as a florist or circus performer by the end of the day!
