    I'm so glad that you've got a diagnosis @Strawberry1. Hopefully you'll be able to get some good support. It'll be a confusing time emotionally for you but just let your feelings out. There's no right or wrong way.

    Let the tears flow @Strawberry1, there's nothing wrong with it. I cry all the time and sometimes in embarassing places! We're entitled to feel our feelings and you've just gone through a stressful assessment.

    I asked the assessor @Rachel_Scope about DWP stuff

    Been making calls but I dunno what to do

    Feeling so over whelmed at the moment

    Dont know if im strong enough to deal with them

    Theres some sensitive information on my medical records

    So im not sure whether to continue dealing with them

    Gonna take some time out @Rachel_Scope

    Things feel mind blowing at the moment

    Sending peace and harmony your way

    Maybe rest for today and tackle things tomorrow, or whenever you feel more up to it. There's no rush, you need to look after yourself.

    Taking some time out sounds like a good idea, it sounds like it's been a very full on and emotional day and a diagnosis can be overwhelming. Please be kind and gentle with yourself @Strawberry1

    It took me quite some time to process all my emotions when I got my diagnosis @Strawberry1, you'll be feeling so many different things all at once and that's okay!! We're here for you โค๏ธ

    glad you got the answers you needed @Strawberry1 and you got told immediately.

    It's perfectly understandable and valid to cry.

    I'm so happy for you!!!!!!!!!

    What a relief to find out on the day. I've no idea what the levels are about but it doesn't matter; you have your diagnosis and you're right, we do know and just need it confirmed.

    You are officially AuDHD and you've waited all your life to hear this. I won't tell you how long I cried for and just wish I'd found this forum back then. It's brilliant news! Congratulations Strawberry!!!

    not too bad thanks still a few health problems to solve.

    mum is doing good thank you.

    hope you have a great evening and well done again for getting through today.

    I'm level 2 and 3, apparently the overlap was significant and 50/50 by aspects which is unusual, in layman's terms I need help about 70% of the time to stop my memory, learning issues, coordination and judgement causing problems.

    I'll unfortunately live a very restricted life in terms of independence.

    for example I can do basics like get dressed, clean teeth, put myself to bed

    but can't use a microwave or washing machine correctly no matter how many times I'm shown.

    I can't socialise face to face or by phone at all which has got worse over the years I don't go out at all now just seeing a person ANY person will give me a panic attack, if they tried to hold a conversation I'd get stroppy potentially injuring myself or swearing at them in a stressed panic before walking away quickly.

    if anything happens to mum I'm cooked, It haunts me 24/7.
