    Still anxious about it, I waited 4 years for one to one counselling bur it can help a bit, if you have these disorder like bpd only certain things help. I don't care about a label, just want to know if I got it, or going mad, my daughter has it. She was very negative

    I don't find any therapy or talking helps me much @Andi66 that saying that doesn't mean that others won't benefit. So sorry you have had to wait so long it must be a terrible ordeal for you . Just wondering if you could speak with a different doctor at your surgery ๐Ÿค”. Also sorry to hear about your daughter too . I hope it was ok to respond to you . I think you was answering Kali85 . Sorry to intrude. I hope you can get some answers soon . Look after yourself please.

    Hi @Nightcity sorry to hear about the depression that you suffer with, I too suffer badly with depression, Christmas can be especially hard for me too. I sincerely wish that there was a quick fix or a cure for severe depression, such a cruel thing to suffer with. Sending you kind wishes

    I appreciate the feedback @Nightcity , but I am sorry to hear how tough everything has been for you . Like Kali says depression is difficult to deal with I empathise with you on depression. I've been diagnosed with adhd and I'm awaiting an autism assessment. I have many autistic traits but only the test will give me a answer. It's so nice to be able to talk openly here and have such great support . Glad you got answers too . Your such a kind soul don't ever forget that . Thanks for sharing your story with us here today. Take care of yourself and keep being you .

    Not wanting to wake up due to the worrying.

    I'd not say we worry more than anyone else tbh. But it could be general anxiety. But you'd need to speak to your GP about that as there are ways of coping. ๐Ÿ˜Š

    I literally worry about worrying, I psychoanalyse every last tiny little detail, and worry about it all, I feel physically sick worrying about social situations before I even get anywhere, I worry about just leaving my house, I go round and round in circles stressing about any possible dramas or confrontations that some times are completely non existent, I worry about people not liking me, or them picking up on my awkwardness. Although I struggle with many other problems too that make my life so hard, I think if I could stop worrying so much, my life would be more manageable or bearable. I wish my brain would just shut up! I become completely exhausted from all the over thinking
