Feeling like my husband sees my diagnosis is irrelevant

Pumkinpie87

I have recently been diagnosed as an autistic and ADHD individual, all my husband has said is that I can't use my diagnosis as an excuse for anything, now every time it gets mentioned he rolls his eyes and will not let me talk about it. I am overwhelmed about my diagnosis, trying to figure out how much of my history was me masking and what I can do in the future to stop myself going through burnout. I thought he would help me find support but he shuts me out and I feel like I'm stuck. Sorry for the rant but I don't know what to do or where to find support. I also struggle with anxiety and depression, I don't know what to do.

  • Hey Pumpkinpie87, that sounds like an incredibly difficult situation, especially if you have masked with or without knowing for a long time. I cant relate to your personal situation, but know you are not on your own and there are great people here who will be able relate. I have suffered with anx and dep my whole life and since diagnosis my anxiety has started to reduce albeit slightly.
