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.

Hergé

  • My year already off to a bad start haha. Ended up going insane up for 3 days no food no sleep. I feel like no one cares about me sometimes. My family don't talk to me. They don't love me. I think it's because of the autism that I have. Oh well. I am a 25 grown man I must be my own father from now on. Ended up crying in my apartment staircase. So lonely. I feel like the world hates me too. I don't know. Is there a way to get through these hard times? I am not sure. I do not know what the future holds at all. I cannot say that my future or your future will be good or bad because we do not know unless we have a time machine. Suppose there are others like me who spend Christmas and new year alone

    I looked up AI and they reckon 1.8 million. It took me years to enjoy being alone - when I got to the conclusion that I enjoyed my own company and that others triggered stress in me.

    My family were like that - turned out both father and brother were autistic too. I 'divorced' them years ago - you CAN divorce family but better give them a chance first, perhaps by sending a letter of how you feel.

    You don't know how the whole world feels! Look how many friends you have here! Start by developing your lifestyle: join clubs with like-minded hobbies and interests. Perhaps go to your doctor and see if there is counselling available, or get online counselling [but first lookup reviews from pukka organisations]. Joining clubs will help you feel less lonely and reorient your mind toward positivity. Good luck and a happier new year!

    You have happy new year too!! I like to smoke tobacco cigarettes they calm me down and give me my dopamine fix. I know I could get sick but hey I don't enjoy anything else and also. Whether u choose to smoke or not we are all gonna meet our maker at some point I guess. It's not like non smokers are going to live forever or something
