    I've had a lot of problems growing up, going through school, and now as an adult out on my own, and I've been in and out of doctors for this kind of thing in the past, with multiple diagnoses over the years and with s--- just gradually getting worse as time goes on, it's been hella frustrating for me.

    So well, after losing a job I just got to my anxiety yesterday, I went and got re-evaluated this morning and got confirmation on somethings that I was pretty sure I already knew or had been diagnosed with before. I have Major Depressive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and the misdiagnoses before that for ADD, Bi-Polar and Tourrettes come from those and also: me now being put on the Autism Spectrum.

    It explains a lot to me, and hopefully will help me understand what's been wrong and how to go about coping with all the problems it brings. I'm seeing a counselor tomorrow morning and have been deferred to another psychiatrist for possible medication (though most likely only for my Anxiety, as meds for depression don't fare well with me, and ASD isn't treatable).

    i would never have been able to tell something was bothering you unless you opened up about it..and that just shows how essential speaking up about your issues can be. you cant shy away from speaking up and finding a way to channel your problems and eventually work through them. im so glad you took the steps necessary up until now man. i know for a fact you'll be fine.
