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

  • 2025 was a weird year for me to be honest:

    Feb - being told I wasn't autistic - which caused me to have a full blown crisis meltdown to the point where I literally dumped all my medication in my doctors surgery and then paying for it afterwards.

    May - actually being correctly diagnosed for autism - after the first person had said I wasn't - thank you V for that.
    Learning more about myself and my quirks and my parents have been a major help with helping me understand more.

    Oct - being diagnosed with PFIC (Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis) - basically my liver ducts are screwed thanks to my biological parents (was adopted at 18 months old), something which basically means my parents were both just carriers and had a single gene - but I got hit with both - kind of scary when you research it, but PFIC type 3 basically sums up how I am. This diagnosis has hit me and (most) of my family much harder than the Autism has. I did get to see my brother in Montreal, and saw my niece (6) and nephews (10 and almost 3). I hadn't actually officially met my youngest nephew so it was lovely to see him and my brother's new fiancée who was also lovely as well. It was a lovely holiday actually and it was nice to see everyone.  

    Nov - finding out my Godmother passed away - her funeral is on Monday coming up Cry.

    Dec - Mum was very unwell on Christmas Day, but she was at least able to open presents etc. but we had Christmas Dinner (which she loves cooking) on the Sunday instead (which was lovely). She's now on antibiotics though as she's now got a chest infection - but hopefully that'll clear up soon.

    So...as you can see - a very mixed up year with both positive and negative things.

    We shall just have to see how 2026 goes - Best wishes to everyone for 2026.

    That's a very intense year, it's great you eventually got your asd diagnosis but so sorry with your other liver diagnosis, I hope you can find a donar when the time comes. Serious illness on top of everything else is tough.

    Wishing you all the best for 2026. x
