Hi there,
I am a 42 yo woman, looking for someone to talk to.
I have been looking into neurodivergency for a while now and realized I should probably speak to my GP as I can see myself 100% in everything I read or watch about specifically ADHD and Autism. Been always feeling not a good fit in any situation generally since I was a child, but things got way worst after pandemic.
I have come to the conclusion that the long period I spent home during Covid, made me completely forget how to mask and now I am not able to go back to it and this is making my life miserable. I have not been officially diagnosed, I have taken several online tests and repeated them over time. I always get a high number of probabilities of me being neurodivergent, so I have decided to contact my GP soon. I live in Scotland and I have heard the waiting time maybe between 2 and 7 years, so I am looking for help in the meanwhile, as I cannot afford a private.
On one side, realizing all the small and big issues I have had during my life, they all go back to this, is a relief as I have thought so many times there was something seriously wrong with me and could not really understand what, but on the other side, I feel worst than ever.
I do not have a job and cannot find one that fit this new me, everything feels very difficult to me now and I feel paralyzed, as I have no idea what to do, or what direction to take professionally.
Hope to find someone to talk to here.
Thank you for reading this,
Cla
