Hi @WhatThe , I am holding back tears here because your being so kind to me . I don't know what's right or wrong anymore. Your right it does take time for these diagnosises to become apparent to us . The other reason I'm nearly in tears is because I've been told I can't go for a break away on my own. I'm so sorry 😞 everything is a mess . Please @WhatThe im so so sorry 😞.

I need to have a bit of a cry @WhatThe . I will chat a little more tomorrow . Take care of yourself and Thank you for everything.

Oh sweetStrawberryheart, you need time and room to process what happened this week cos it's huge 😓

If you can't have time away then time out - in bed or in the bath and wearing headphones to reduce external noise if you don't already will help and hopefully not offend your partner. Take it easy because the anxiety you felt leading up to your assessment could leave you exhausted for a while.

Thank you @WhatThe .

Totally agreeing with WhatThe here, you need time to process everything, it's a lot to take in when you get a diagnosis that you're neurodivergent. Just be gentle with yourself and allow yourself to sit with the feelings, but know all feelings will pass in time. It's the start of a big learning journey.

Thank you @Albus_Scope and @Bluebell21 .

I'm going to try my very best to be quiet because it is my fault that everything falls apart. My brain works different so being quiet is probably for the best .

How did I manage to get everything wrong.

Take care of yourselves everyone and remember to be kind to yourselves too 💜

Just because I've talked about how things are at home it doesn't mean I'm right . Just because I get shouted at from time to time it doesn't mean that other person is a bad person. Just because I've overshared it here doesn't mean I've got it right . I've got it so wrong.

I'm so very mixed up about things . I'm not sure if I've messed things up by telling the gp something. They are not cross with me but I can't be sure if I've messed up somewhere.

Strawberry1

I apologise unreservedly.

I have to watch my ps and qs at home. That's what so frustrating.

Strawberry1

I'm not allowed to talk about certain subjects.

Hi @Strawberry1, how are you feeling about things today? Please don't feel like sharing how you're feeling makes you wrong. It's important to express yourself and get things off your chest sometimes, we're here to support you if you need to talk about anything ❤️

Hello @Rosie_Scope , I feeling a bit down. I'm sure everything will be OK. I apologise unreservedly for yesterday but when I have to watch my ps and qs its difficult. Thank you for being kind to me . I hope you have a good day today. I do need to call the doctors but I'm going to wait a bit when more time is available for a private conversation with them. I once again apologise unreservedly. Everything is messy. Sorry 😞.

I wasn't proud of myself yesterday. I apologise unreservedly to everyone. I wasn't being my kind usual self . I think I was hurting 😢.
