Mental Health: Testimonials
Anxiety, Depression & ADHD are all somewhat linked. Other common diagnosis' also include ADD, BPD & Autism.
If you are feeling anxious or depressed, this does not mean you may be autistic. Please don't take this literal.
The reason for me stating this is because, for years, I was always so confused as to why I felt different & why I felt like I can't socialize as a 'normal' person could until I took the time to really delve into myself & figure out what was really effecting my character.
Honestly, I still struggle to socialize & I still feel different, I just don't feel confused about it anymore. I've adapted my life completely to suit me, my boundaries & I no longer try to force myself into certain situations that could end up in panic attacks & discomfort.
Once you go to work on yourself & find out who truly are, this makes the journey a lot easier.
