It has taken me 15 years to get referred by a GP, it has been a struggle, especially as I never want to go out and talk to anyone hehe.
I was diagnosed this past Monday and it doesn't feel real yet, I think I am waiting to see it on paper for it to be legit.
I am 57 and I am pretty sure whatever I say here, regarding how I am, has already been said here ^_^
There is so much to say and yet I don't want to say anything. I don't like socialising.
Although, the psychiatrist says I need to socialise and join, or even start groups... But I like being alone, I am never lonely. In some ways Covid lockdown was a blessing as everyone had to stay home, and then keep a certain distance apart. I really liked that, I finally got to be in a place where I felt I wasn't pretending and then falling apart in a bathroom somewhere.
I tend to use 'hehe', 'lol', or my smiley at the end of sentences because I found others take less offense to how I say things (most of the time), so it has become bit of a habit now, sorry about that.
Anyway, Hi I am Moon and I am new here ^_^
