Don't like to talk much about personal mental health problems but I'm going to a new terapist tomorrow, will try to ask for an autism/ADHD test and I'm a bit scared. Wish me luck :') I hope I can find some answers to my questions - ThreadSky

Anything you get only will help you know yourself better!! Good luck!

Thank you <33

Best of luck, and if it helps, think about it this way: either the tests will show that autism and ADHD are not the case and you can stop second-guessing, or you'll know the problem and then you are already half way to solving it.

... It's scary as fuck, but it's a bit like a Souls boss: once you've seen it, you'll know its moves and how it telegraphs, and then you're half way to beating it. 💪

Thank you for sharing the experience, it's so brave and kind of you.

Getting a diagnosis is the hardest part for ADHD, good luck and know it's largely downhill from there!

As someone who took YEARS to get not only a doctor who took my concerns seriously, and even longer to find a medicine that works, perhaps I can offer some encouragement. Whatever the results are, be mindful that they don't define you. They are "aspects" of you, and you are more than your diagnosis.

When my doctor told me that I have PTSD and other service related issues, it was a bit of a hard pill for me to swallow (no pun intended), because I had been conditioned to feel that having that hanging over me, defined who I was. and it took, an absurdly long time to break from that.

Also, be mindful of being your own advocate. You mentioned it's a new therapist, but if the therapist doesn't end up being a good fit? That's ok, there will be others. The important thing is that you are comfortable with the process, and get the quality health care you not only need but deserve.

I will wish you the best, and I hope it ends up going well for you! Just hang in there, and you will be alright. You got this!

Hola. Mi hijo tiene 7 años y fue diagnosticado con autismo hace años. Aprendo de él muchas cosas y él aprende a vivir en este mundo que no siempre es gentil o sano… Simplemente quiero decirte que ánimo y que tú puedes con lo que venga, y si no puedes a veces, está bien igualmete. Un saludo ✨❤️

I wish you so much luck.
I just found out recently, in my early 30s that I have ADHD/autism and it's changed how I treat myself. The world makes so much more sense now

Best of luck! I wish I had gotten those diagnosis sooner myself, I think I'd have been spared so many detrimental burnouts.

Good luck, Tera. I hope you find clarity whatever the result
