Hi, I'm New Here!

Awkward_J_95

I am a 30 year old female. Diagnosed with ADHD a few years ago and autism this year. I have a partner and a toddler. From the North East.

Since getting my diagnosis ive felt like things have gotten harder, not easier... I struggle to mask. I struggle with my anxiety more and rejection sensetivity. Work is hell. I feel detached from my partner, like every autistic/ADHD trait now annoys them and i feel alone...

I struggle to keep up friendships but i crave friends. Its difficult... 

I just feel like all motivation has left me, i feel lost and just wabt to find myself again.

Im hoping talking to like minded people helps on that journey.

  • Good morning from America, Awkward_J_95!

    34 year old AuDHDer here! I’m sorry to hear that things have been getting harder after the diagnosis. That can happen as you become more aware of your Autistic/ADHD traits. I hope that soon your story turns around and you begin to understand and sympathize with yourself more.

    Let me know if there is someway I can help. I’m an employment specialist, so if work really is hell, I might have some advice on how to possibly make it better or how to find a better fitting occupation.
