Feeling lost?

Hi everyone, had many issues lately trying to figure out what is going on inside my head, I’ve been self diagnosing for a while now, managed to finally talk to a doctor the other day although I had to do this over the phone which is not idea for me, the doctor suggested I write everything down the reasons why I could be autistic which I did, then send this to my local surgery, so they could check it out and make a referral, I’ve also talked to my employer about it and my sister and even my ex, because I’ve been hiding a lot of things from people, I don’t think they take it seriously , I’m not sure how to tell them what is going on, my employer was really good because I have many struggles at work and they made allowances for me, but I always doubt myself thinking to myself am I making this up , but deep down I know it’s something more, that’s why I started looking at autism while not everything I can relate to, I know everyone is different, I guess it’s just the not knowing part that makes me feel lost, which in someways make me feel more anxious and depressed trying to get an answer to which I can’t answer.

  • Hi Stevew, 

    It's such a big step making that first one to get a medical diagnosis! And such a lonnnnnnnng wait. So hang in there!

    What you are describing resonates so much with me. I want so much to reassure you that you will be okay. But somedays we just aren't okay and those are hard, dark days.

    I think you are amazing. Disclosing. I am still very much a long way from that.

    Take care of yourself.
