I've had a living hell for over 20 years being misdiagnosed bipolar when I was a kid and just recently recognised by my therapist, GP and a consultant that I'm autistic and adhd.
There's no diagnosis yet, the aforementioned say Scottish health is one of the worst in the world right now.
I've been putting in the heavy lifting of getting off multiple medications for misdiagnosis, there's one left that I'm working off of. I've been given at least 20 combinations of bipolar medications being told for over twenty years I need to keep trying them to find the one that works for me.
It made life feel extra intolerable as an autistic person. So I'm on a journey now of trying to stay positive with the right information and embrace a diagnosis that actually fits.
