Diagnosed but unsure what's next

16

I was finally been diagnosed after a lot of misdiagnosis occuring in the last five years. I suffered mentally after losing my Gran who I was very close to and at the time I tried saying it was more autism than potential psychosis but they didn't hear me out and I received my discharge papers which I had to request and they agreed eventually I didn't have psychosis.

Now I'm left feeling a bit vulnerable and unsure what will happen next. I have a diagnosis but what else is there? I don't work. I have no friends. No future prospects. I have my family but I'm concerned next time someone dies I'll not cope again and be detained. I imagine it will be worse if it's my mum or dad who dies as I'm very close to them both.

My day is spent listening to music.. Bowie, Taylor Swift, Elvis, Queen.. but that's about it.

I enjoy life, enjoy the things I do.. but I can't help but feel it's wasted and there's always this constant sense of doom worrying about the future lingering around me.

Sorry this isn't much of a hello or introduction. But airing this out did help me feel less pressure regarding my anxieties. Don't feel you have to respond, guess I just needed to vent.

  • You know when you read a post and you feel it, but you dont know what to say, well thats me. 

    Unfortunatly we have to learn the hard way and find what is right for us. No one or nothing with be knocking on our doors. Every little thing could lead to bigger things. Yes we will have set backs, but we must find some good bits. Be happy with small achievments. I love the saying.....nothing has to be forever. You enjoy life and what you do, well thats great. Could you start speaking to some one about your worries of not coping and not wanting to be detained if this were ever to hapoen again? Could you speak to your parents about it?  I have found that acceptance is helpful. I have a limit to how much i can cope with. I would love to do more, but i cant, so i pick out the bits that i enjoy and accept that this is how it is for me. Maybe not forever, but it is how it is at the moment x
