Hello

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 ^_^

  • Hi and welcome to the community! I confirm- covid isolation was a  blessing! My private space finally stopped being invaded. Here are many communication style, for instance I don't use emoji, I'm often not sure what they actually mean. But you can find a lot of typos in my posts I try my best to correct them. I hope you find here support and like minded people.

  • I don't use actual picture emojis, I don't know why I find them offensive, just text. Usually the giggle is at myself, to make light of things I think. I would never laugh at anyone else or anything. I don't usually laugh with anyone else either.

    I am always correcting typos too, or sentences that don't make sense and then I read it and can't even remember what I was going to say. It is like my hands and brain disconnect from each other and what comes out isn't what I was thinking. I don't mind if people do typos, if it is bad enough that I don't know what someone said, I will ask ^_^
