    Yeah its my own flat, and I can do pretty much anything although my support workers will encourage me to do things. Like when I first moved there they would take me shopping till I got used to the shop and area and was comfortable going by myself, and they will go for a walk with me or encourage me to go out or help me with house chores.

    Autism is such a huge spectrum I think the only way to know for sure is when you have your assessment.

    Having ADHD is someway linked to autism although seperate, lots get diagnosed with both.

    I hope it gives you some long awaited answers though when you have your assessment.

    I feel that, my sleeping is so random. While here in hospital I go sleep at like 1am and wake again at like 4:30am in pain, then sleep and get woke up at 6:30 for meds then I just stay up.

    At home though I run alot on US time and won't actually go sleep till 6am, and wake at 11am.

    I actually don't sleep that much and found out I feel better running on 4/5 hours sleep than if I had 10/11 hours, I feel more with it and productive.

    I do occasionally however have a day every few weeks where i'll just catch up on sleep and sleep for like 12 hours.

    Hope you manage to get some rest, take care

    My mental health ruins everything

    Always saying and doing the wrong thing all the time .

    I think me being who and or what kind of person I am is just one massive burden on people and society as a whole

    I (politely) disagree with that last comment @Strawberry1 ๐Ÿ˜Š

    You're definitely allowed to say you haven't slept well, I'm always saying that to my husband! Do you mind me asking who you live with?

    From everything i've read about you and seen you're not the problem, its more the people around you being so negative to you and continually putting you down. Its no wonder you now beat yourself up so much, you've just adjusted your thinking into believing it because you hear it so often.

    But believe me you are not a problem and never were.

    You need to surround yourself with positivity and only people who will support you, not bully you everyday. it'll take time but you'll soon see the bright amazing and caring person we see in you on this forum and you'll feel better and your MH will improve.

    my sleep pattern is non existent

    on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Friday I am up at 4am with mum for her home dialysis, Saturday, 7am , Tuesday, Thursday 5am

    I have slept in the afternoon since age 16 used to be 3pm but as I got older and iller it's normally now half 1 to 3.

    As Rubin said and I said to you before strawberry it's definitely not you who's the issue, I know you quite well now over almost 3 years.

    I'm sorry things are difficult at home @Strawberry1. Are you able to be in a room by yourself to have some space?

    @Nightcity seems like you're dealing with a lot right now. It's wonderful that you're helping your mum but I can imagine it's very tiring. Did you get your test results back?
