Hi everyone

Deleted User

I just realised I've posted on a couple of topics but I haven't introduced myself properly.

I'm Paul (m, 49, neuroqueer). I'm currently self-diagnosed AuDHD and trying to get through the GP barricade towards formal diagnosis. They're not making it easy at all. I've also done a lot of reading, talking and listening about autism, adhd and other diagnoses, mainly to try to make sense of the last almost 50 years of my life.

I'm a personal trainer, strength coach and mental health and exercise coach (MHEC) and have been doing this for 9 years in May. I'm currently in and out of burnout due to the overwhelming nature of the job and have had to scale things back a lot in the last year just to preserve my energy.

In my spare time I enjoy playing online games, reading, getting out in the Peak District and using meditation and mindfulness to relax. I'm also interested in paganism and feminism.

Look forward to saying hi on the boards. 

(I typed this in large size and then reduced it down because my laptop screen makes it tiny)

  • Hi. Yes, the text is tiny on the phone too - not good for podgy fingers lol.

    I too am not diagnosed, so I know your frustration with the NHS waiting time to get seen. It's not their fault. Their hands are tied to a degree, due to lack of funding.

    I'm also in my 50s and my life has been a nightmare for the most part. Since, my son was diagnosed, I've been researching and slowly joining the dots. A picture is emerging and I've joined that miles-long queue to be seen.

    Good luck with you're endeavours. I believe this is a great place to start WinkThumbsup
