Hi
I finally got my diagnosis, two years after asking my GP - quite a short wait I know, I was lucky that I am in the catchment area for the Maudsley! But I found out after I told family that they "always thought there was something wrong" and I feel like my parents didnt do enough, didnt protect me enough, i'm angry! My sister and brother don't seem to care, we aren't a close family..
When I read my report (which obviously involved a long talk with my informant, which was my mum) I cried and cried. I was gutted to read about this lonely five year old, who wanted to join in but didn't know how, who wanted friends, but couldn't make them. Im still feeling very alone and upset by reading these things. I feel invisible really. I've felt like that for a long time. I have no friends really (am in my 30s) and would like some..
I have never had much of a career, left one recently because the stress of it was enough. I whistleblow when I see the need so employers don't like that. I just feel lost, chaotic and alone even though I have a supportive partner.
Does anyone know of any groups where people can meet up in the London area?
Thank you for any advice, even any replies.
