Hi all. I'm in my mid 50s, self diagnosed after 3 different people presumed I was anyway at the beginning of the year. Always felt out of step like I didn't fit in, introvert, odd one out. I think it grew more noticeable after Menopause set in. Kicker. Still learning and working it all out, depends on the day. Always had inability to look to the future, but also struggle to remember more than just snap shots of my past and never remember names etc. I am creative but finding it harder and harder to actually start anything. Lost one career after 30 years, still trying to work it all out. Would really love to disappear into the woods and live there.
Photography is my thing, woods and trees, sea, not people. Hoping to learn and maybe just touch base.
Welcome aboard!
I'm sure you'll find lots of like minded folks here, I was diagnosed in Feb, almost 50 , always knew but never plucked up the courage to talk to anyone about it till last year when it got too hard to cope.
I like that this place is "the woods" to some people. I like the woods, usually after dark when they're empty , just me and the dog. One of the few places I can totally unwind.
Thanks! And I agree completely, the woods are where I go to let out emotions, sometimes I howl (quietly), sometimes I dance where no-one can see me. The woods take all your emotions and give you peace in return.
