Hi,
I thought I would send a quick post. I've been working in London for a year after managing to find a job in london after a quite a lapse of unemployment after graduating in 2008. It's felt like a rocky. I haven't made that many friends in London yet as I'm quite dubious of getting to know people and actually maintaining a social life. I'd recently discovered through a geneticist I have premutation with my XY chromosomes that's linked to Fragile X and autism, I don't have either of these conditions, but it is thought to be the related to associated conditions such as anxiety, depression and learning difficulties from research studies that have been done and are available on the Fragile X society website. Unfortunately, little research has been made and there doesn't appear to be much support or info for people who have this available. I suppose having a condition that predisposes you to low moods and learning problems doesn't distinguish you from anyone else diagnosed with these symptons.
I'm in my 30s and feel as if I've been dealing with anxiety and these conditions most of my life, but following this and the situation I find myself with work, trying to cope with life in London and expected arrival of a baby we're having with my partner; life can seem pretty overwhelming. I'm trying to be positive with everything but I don't feel confidant about any of this. Who does?
