Hi All,
I'm not one who gets involved with online forums around my problems namely mental health ,autism. But sometimes i feel the need to vent my frustration. I do have serious problems but i get on with it no matter how bad they are. I go for dog walks and my eyes look like i've been sobbing for a month ? when i feel the need to explain to someone about my problems without going on to much all i get back is 'well you don't look autistic' ?
I't winds me up to the point where i want to say something ,and i just think whatever ! I have never felt in all my life that i'm being driven to isolation. I have had recent suicidal thoughts which have been absolutely horrendous but i just kept going.
I had depression so bad i don't honestly think i could explain what it felt like. support is a word i now treat as a joke ? although i have had a anxiety disorder for 25 yrs and mental health problems i have always had mostly good jobs.
But i have only been told of autism diagnosis this year from my psychiatrist, i feel so hard done by why this wasn't picked up a long,long time ago ? I am not actually in employment at the moment ,and wish to work in the mental health field.
I'm speechless at some of the people who are supposed to be there to support people like us and simply don't have a clue ? It is a joke.
My problem is that i will not be trodden all over or fobbed off,and i will defend my human rights and entitlements' to my last breath . I'm in norfolk does anybody have any ideas about support and getting involved with like minded adults in my area.
Regards
mark.
