New year

Hergé

As the year draws to a close and I'm certainly looking forward to better year to come. It's caused me to review my last year.

In the last 12 months I've been diagnosed with both ASD and ADHD (inattentive) which is still waiting a medication decision, I also had my previous diagnosis of TRD confirmed and shrugged at (We've tried everything (apparently) that they do in our health area) but still I persist.

I've had several unproductive brushes with the NHS for various things. (Including many canceled appointments at short notice)

I've been in a serious car crash which resulted in a scrapped car (which I was fond of) and a severe concussion.

Therapy has continued to be a blessing and a curse.

To say it's been challenging would be an understatement. (Sorry for the negativity)

Anyway, onwards and upwards. I wish you all the best for the forthcoming year.

Parents

  • I’ve had a tricky year too. To be honest I think every year is tricky in various ways. This year I lost a parent, and the previous year I lost my other parent. So it’s been a big change. I’m very glad to still be here, and that the people in my immediate family are well and doing ok. So I’m grateful. I had low expectations of Christmas but I ended up really enjoying it, and I don’t normally enjoy New Year because I’m a worrier and new year unnerves me - but weirdly today I’ve felt ok. So maybe having low expectations can be an advantage sometimes?! Anyway - I’m sorry to hear about you car accident - that must have been awful. I have a very old car but I love my car - so I can see how upsetting that would be for you. It’s great that you are ok though - what a blessing that is.  
    I wish everyone on here a Happy New Year - I’m so grateful to everyone who posts and replies on this website as it’s such a supportive and helpful community and I value the solidarity on here so much.
