Why couldn't I have just been made normal?

FUB39

Anybody else just really effing angry? Like, I never asked for this. I hate it. Autism and ADHD together? Oh, lucky me... not. 

I'm recently diagnosed and up until this point, I've spent years thinking I struggled with my mental health and that I could try therapies and medication to treat it and make myself better. To find out that the majority of this is actually Autism and ADHD and there's not a damn thing I can do to make them go away, is honestly just soul-destroying. I hate it. I hate what it's made me. It's the absolute worst thing aout me and it's ruining my life. 

Anybody else just wish they could have been made normal?

  • I'm in my mid 60s and awaiting diagnosis. Sure an earlier diagnosis might have helped at certain times in my life, but I don't feel angry at being this way. The only thing that I am angry about is face with symbols on mouth the attitude of some of the mental and other health workers. I refused a short course of CBT, after it had failed on 2 or 3 previous occasions, and was told by the locum GP that I needed to try  harder !  face with symbols on mouth
