I am so unsure of myself. I have zero self esteem. I am never “enough”. I’m late diagnosed AuDHD, I have been an outcast my entire life. I am absolutely traumatized. Everything in my life makes sense now, but it doesn’t help me. It makes me angry and disillusioned.

Oh my the trauma!! The anxiety, the depression, the self hatred, the auto immune diseases that popped up later in life

It’s so much grief, grief for the years I lost, the time I spent trying to fit in, hating myself, I just wish I could go give the younger me a hug and say there’s nothing wrong with you

Nevermind most of us find out because we succumb to burnout, which most ppl have absolutely no understanding is an actual serious medical condition/nervous system disorder. I thought I was loosing my damn mind and didn’t know what was going on. But by the time I needed help, I could no longer speak to even ask for it. The trauma of that alone + the years of recovery… so much loss💔

I had kids and had to grieve that I would have been a different mother if I’d known (maybe not even a mother). It’s been 6 years since my diagnosis and I’m still overcome with grief regularly.

jacobjackson10 :
I experienced trauma- I got diagnosed at 14 (now 20), the amount of times I’ve spent reflecting on my younger self unbeknownst to have autism is crazy. I was in so many situations that I frankly never had the mental capability to handle at the age I was. Constant bullying in school for being different, having a set routine in school. So many different things finally in my life finally had a purpose.

CPTSD from this and long term burnout may be ignored but it's impacting society whether governments and health services ect recognise it or not.

I've been diagnosed with autism at 13, now I'm older and still struggling with being told my emotions are weird and other things you mentioned. Knowing that I have Autism (and adhd) doesn't change the people around me for understanding

Also knowing what it is doesn’t suddenly make it any easier to live in a world that mostly still doesn’t accommodate or care. It helps for our own understanding but it makes no difference for how hard it is to navigate life.

30+ years of assuming every issue I experienced was my own personal fault or some character flaw I couldn’t seem to overcome no matter how hard I tried. I’m burnt out now and experience a lot of anhedonia. 😭
