The outside observer probably thinks I am mentally ill (I evidently am). What do I do??

    This is true. I have actually been to the doctor and he gave me stims, but that’s where it ended at. The stims definitely help me focus and give me the patience to do stuff like reading, showering, and homework, but they don’t affect the underlying neurodivergence in any way (ie. I’m still annoyed at change, still struggle to Go Out And Do Things in life). :(

      Have you talked to doctor about those? You may have to seek out psychologist and/or therapist to get answers you’re looking for.

      I wish I could go back and get diagnosed sooner. I barely remember my 20’s due to major depressive episodes. But I’m happy I’m figuring it out now instead of 10 or 20 yrs from now!
