Just working on diagnosis at 50. You're lucky if you worked it out by 30.
I'm 53 and have been questioning it for a few years. I just have to make that doctor's appointment to ask about it . That's my goal for next week. It was also my goal last week, last month, and the last couple years... one day/week at a time.
After my morning coffee everything sounds like a great idea, but it's too early in the morning to do anything about it because that window of time is designated peaceful quiet moment before I have to work. I'll just do it this afternoon after work...
I just found out yesterday that I am Bipolar, have severe anxiety and depression, PTSD and likely ADHD but it'll take a while to figure out cause they all have overlapping symptoms. Apparently I've been playing as a beginner on expert mode all along. Getting actual diagnosis for these things is a while thing unto itself where I live. It's not real easy to get a psychologist unless you pay out of pocket. I don't have money for that.
It took a long time. Had to quit booze. Straighten up my life some. Have a family to care about. Almost die from crazy cancer. Before I made the calls. Don't beat yourself up too bad.
