Newbie

Hi everyone, I'm Kiwigirl... from NZ but lived in UK for over 20 years. I have a few mental health diagnoses (as well as some physical chronic pain stuff) and am just going into the autism aspergers road as recommended/referred by the MH team. I was diagnosed ADHD as a child but as I didn't need 'help' at school that was the end of it. This was over 35 years ago in NZ. I'm really struggling with I believe is burnout from just being exhausted and putting all my abilities and energy into masking all day working then I basically crash and need rest, silence, my current food fad and to be alone to read. The research I've started doing is actually making a lot of sense to my growing up and current life. That is positive for me as I like to know or learn everything about whatever topic I fix on. Anyway I'm glad to be here.
